Great for new buyers. I picked up my M3P December 15th and my monthly payments would've been a tad cheaper pm at the new prices with increased APR but I got 6,000 free supercharger miles so I won't complain. I'm loving the car so far.

My MY LR in blue was £56,090 when ordered (delivered July 2022). Same car with the new pricing is £55,180 so a reduction of £910. I'm not overly surprised given the supply/demand cycle, especially in a recessionary economy where persuading people to shell out on a massive purchase like a Tesla will need to require some persuasion.

Same here - except I picked up the 9th Dec but no free supercharger miles! Does Tesla hate me?

THEY DO NOT DO DISCOUNTS.
How is this complex? A discount because you go all 'arthur daley' in your harrassing and arguing and monty-pythonesque haggling is something Tesla have NEVER done and still NEVER do. Everyone who orders a model Y performance today gets the exact same price, unlike every other car company on the planet.
That is NOT the same as never changing the price! This is not a complex concept.
To put it another way: Your local coffee shop may raise prices, they may cut prices, but there are no discounts, the price on the menu is the price you pay.
I get the impression some people think that the prices of high tech modern goods should never fall below the one they paid. I guess you were all hoping that compact disc p[layers would forever be a £499 luxury item?
sigh.
Just drive your car and enjoy it. You were happy with the deal when you bought it, why not now? nothing about the car spec changed today.

Personally, if not in a rush, in your shoes I'd just wait. This will ripple into the used market shortly so you could stand to make the same savings you expected yesterday if you wait for the adjustment. Or you might just choose to go new instead. Either way, more options if you're patient.
USS won't come back and, imho, the camera software will never be as good. That's a pro for a nearly new imho. On the other hand, don't wait too long as the 3/Y is quite likely to loose control stalks in the not too distant future, which might spoil the go new choice somewhat.
I kinda wish I was in your shoes! I completed a private purchase of a 3LR literally yesterday!! Ok I'm in Norway and while we got the same news this morning, the numbers and circumstances are different here, and its not quite the bloodbath of UK and some other places (Denmark is particularly insane), and I'm still happy, but wish I had the freedom to wait another month or two and see.

I stand to be corrected but I don't think the dealers over here sell new cars above the list price. Our sales model is a bit different though. most of our cars are made to order for a specific customer so if the dealer tried that if they were even allowed to you just place order with another dealer. The price you agree at the time of order is the price dealer cannot just try to gouge you and change the price later on. The manufacturers themselves might but I don't think the dealers can. If they do you certainly don't hear about it in the same way you do in the US. There is no routine dealer markup process.
Thanks for your opinions!
I’m definitely leaning towards waiting (I actually am in the queue for a new Tesla but had initially refused delivery last December as we weren’t ready) so a lot of this is welcome news.
Was excited to be receiving this nearly new car in a few days…
yeah the markups over here were terrible. in fact dealers in general over here are terrible, horrible places to go. It was actually a breath of fresh air being able to order the Tesla online without needing to go to a dealer. I wasn't a massive fan of dealers in the UK but having experienced dealers over here, the ones in the UK are amazing. They dick dance you around out here something shocking.
Just had an email from Tesla stating my order will be changed in line with the price cuts. So happy days!
You splashed out on a fancy paint job so the actual basic price to pay before grant was £40840 and with it £37340 so yeah pretty close
I knew it was just over 40K since I remember everyone was losing their minds over having to pay the luxury car tax
Black was free back then. The pearl white that we now have was a £2k option in 2019.
.. but we never had to in the endYou splashed out on a fancy paint job so the actual basic price to pay before grant was £40840 and with it £37340 so yeah pretty close

Cool. Was this in response to an email you sent or just out the blue from Tesla?
Please do let me know what vehicle manufacture has slashed nearly 10k off RRP? Or have you ever seen Apple and smiler tech companies slash hundreds of retail prices on their prices on current models of goods?
Just out of the blue, I was planning on calling. Glad I don’t have to now.
manufacturers reduce prices of various products all the time. If you went into Tesco last week and brought some chicken for 10GBP and then went in this week and it was 5GBP its the same thing. I had to pay markup prices over here in the states, I bitched and moaned about it, didn't get me anywhere, I still had to pay. Markup prices are slowly disappearing now, but i'm not going back to the dealer to complain
Completely understand you are furious. It’s not a ‘discount’ as such, it’s a change to price list. This is based on production and demand, and will change again short term. If you’re not within the 14 days from purchase then there is nothing that can be done.
I got a YLR last March. Since then the price has gone up and down, to a point where it’s £2k cheaper now than what I paid. Not loads different, so not bothered. I do have parking sensors though! Also got a mega high trade in for my 3LR. Point is… over the time you keep the car, prices are going to be all over the place. Enjoy your awesome car!
