You should have been around when he cut ~30k off the P100D
Is it a discount? Arguably, they’ve just changed the price list. If you go in today and ask for a discount you’ll get the same answer you got yesterday.
Yes, I agree. This is a price change, rather than a discount. Understandably, some of the people who bought recently, will be a bit gutted. Those who got a high trade in, not so much, but when you are buying for straight up money with no trade in, its a tough pill to swallow.

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

This is nuts. Tesla dont do discounts. Everyone pays the same price. That doesnt mean the price will never change! When the price of stuff you bought rises do you insist on paying the extra???
Ridiculous.

I can see why you are annoyed, who wouldn't be, and you are still in the Anger and Bargaining phase of your grief but you might as well skip to acceptance because unfortunately there is litterally nothing you can do.
They offered a product at a price. you accepted and paid that price and got exactly what you paid for.
Its still the same car you were happy with yesterday so just enjoy it.

From Tesla I paid £39k for a "used" (only done 200 miles) Model 3 SR+ (refreshed Nov 2000 USA build). Saw the 2nd hand price rise to as high as £48k. Now I guess it's probably well under £40k given the new price has fallen so far! Mine only has 8000 miles on it. Maybe I should have sold 9 months ago. I don't do much driving! Crazy I could buy a new model Y now for thousands less than my 2nd hand model 3 was worth 9 months ago!!
What was weird about the Model 3 I bought - in the dashcam footage I could see it being driven onto someone's gravel drive with Christmas lights on it. I told Tesla for security and UK laws they should delete all dashcam footage before selling on a car!!!
Interestingly Tesla trucked the Model 3 from Glasgow to Heathrow so I could buy it!
Personally I think Tesla is going to anger a lot of customers cutting prices so quickly and by so much. But I presume they have a massive demand problem after Elon turned into a cultish tit on Twitter, and now they have a new factory in China and Texas also churning out cars. So don't need to ship as many from China now.

Clearly 'nearly new' second hand prices will need to adjust now, but it's likely to take a couple of months. Can you wait ? If you are interested to stretch to a new Model Y instead it's clearly a good time to do it.
USS = Ultrasonic Sensor = Parking Sensors
Yeah I was in no rush originally to actually take delivery of a vehicle now. But the savings vs the price it was yesterday were good so I jumped on it!
we did really want the parking sensors on the car though so if we wait, we would hope there’s a new solution/sensors added back in soon!
Thanks for confirming btw!
but is that not what happens in the car market, car prices depreciate, it was only due to demand and COVID that the tesla prices (and most prices) were inflated, they are now coming back down.
Now you know the type of company you are dealing with. Tesla wait for the 14 day consumer rights window to close, so the poor mugs who thought they'd made a £4k saving on a MYP before year end, will now find they are £8k down overnight with a car they can't return. Add to that the removal of
USS with no replacement in sight! Lesson learnt here!

The normal kind.
I once renewed my insurance with Admiral who, spuriously based on 6 month old incorrect information, decided there was a modification to my car I had not told them about. They waited until 1 days after the cooling off period to contact me and tell me I needed to pay more due to the ( non existent) modification. Coincidence? I didn't think so.
Crazy for a 2nd hand price to exceed the new price of a superior model.
agree wholehardely, but thats how it was, even here over in the States. I ordered a M3 as my fiesta started to play up and the used prices were horrendous (ie more than new), due to delays, i had to cancel and ended up getting the Ioniq - and even then i had to contend with the dealer 'markup' prices - i don't know if the UK dealers were doing it but over here it was horrific. The Kia EV6 had a dealer 'markup' of $10k, the Ioniq had $7.5k which I managed to get down to to $4k but I know that as soon as I drove it off the Lot i'd instantly lost 10k
So, M3 Long Range now is at the same price when I ordered in end of 2021 and got delivered in feb 2022
however, now APR is 2% higher and on the same Tesla Loan on same deposit, monthly payment would be ~50 GBP more expensive than I have now
