It's not clear if the MY will have the same $hit$how as the Model 3 with pricing since there will be ZERO federal incentives in the equation....

Plot twist: Federal tax credit comes back months after Model Y.

Yup. Plus the fact they're reusing so high a % of Model 3 parts/assembly methods means they've already gotten a lot of the economy-of-scale savings baked in, so prices are likely to be a lot more stable overall

Has anyone reached out to service centers or advisers to see if and when this actual $3k upgrade will actually take effect?
Regarding the price going lower, how much lower do you really think it could go? It's not like they are going to sell it for $500, they would lose money. On the other hand, if enhanced summon works as well as promised and we gain some FSD features in the near future, why would they keep it at current prices?
I jumped on the upgrade to FSD from my EAP at 2k. That softened the blow of having paid 7k for EAP.

The last price drop took several days after the announcement, for some reason.
For $2k, Elon would prolly get plenty of takers. OTOH, I get the need to raise price as more features come online, but not sure Advanced Summon will do it. (Yeah, I get that we're getting much lazier as a society, but walking across a parking lot to your car ain't that physically taxing.
) To me, Advanced Summon is a nice-to-have, for which few have a real need; those folks will easily pay more. The rest of us, won't be interested in paying $6k for a cool trick to show off to your friends every so often.)Besides value prop, the problem Elon has is total costs out the door. Even if FSD is truly worth say, $10k extra, the masses just don't have that extra cash lying around. Elon can raise prices all he wants, but eventually, the upscale car just stays upscale. And if that is the case, he won't be able to sell a half million of them per year. There's a reason that the best selling sedan most years -- the Toyota Camry -- starts at $24k list price. The Corolla and Civic, the next most purchased sedans have a list price of <$20k. The base model 3 is nearly 2x that amount, with no haggling.

You think that's bad I bought a Gateway for 5K around that time, they did throw in the cow design on the binder full of back up discs though

This was my thinking when it was 2k and I opted to buy it, I thought maybe just having HW3 will make the autopilot smoother and more reliable with future software development given the 10X processing power vs. HW2.5, I could be wrong but that is really the reason I opted for the FSD when on sale.

I'm not sure they will be selling cars for very long after FSD is complete. (level 5 at least)For $2k, Elon would prolly get plenty of takers.

For cars with older hardware maybe. For all cars with new hardware, it doens't cost Tesla anything to activate FSD. In fact, I'd argue it benefits them as they get to use the data for their future robo-fleet which may be the huge money maker for them. I realize they won't offer it for free, but I imagine they are trying to strike the balance of its usefulness in a consumer vs business model.

vaporware at the moment. I figure I will be on my second Tesla before it may be worthwhile to buy.

Nothing official, just checked and it still shows $6K. Hopefully we hear official announcement.

ah this. I so want to believe that FSD will be a thing in the near future, but as a current EAP driver - I just can't see it happening even in the medium future.

Right there with you. All these none biywrs here and cult followers obviously disagree with you though. Its not their money.
It’s still a ton less. I can buy a performance model 3 with white interior for $55,900 now. My LR RWD with black interior was $55,500. Yea I got $7500 vs the $1875 now but that’s $5625 more of a rebate but only $6,000 more for a performance model 3 and white interior. It’s insane.
