[UK] Price cuts
- Thread starter APTY
- Start date
Other manufacturers deliver the same safety features without seeming to need the same highly complex approach. And they don't pretend that the future can be applied retrospectively to cars 5, 7 order even 10 years after being built. But the price you pay for that is having to await the next model iteration to get the latest tech.All cars need to support AutoPilot, and safety features so the compute power needs to be there in order to achieve that
Does it not alarm you that after just 2 weeks since the price cuts, Tesla are using that small 2 weeks window of demand boost to forecast the entire 2023 guidance?
I'm not an investor, but, that's my takeaway. It's a bizzare forecasting method and to be brutally honest for a moment, its a completely flawed method.
So when I said let’s initiate return threw some random per mile charge out at me that’s not in the contract anyway.
So threatened legal and they said it will now be sorted tomorrow and they would allow me to keep the supercharger miles and reducing the finance cost.
I don't think you'll get a clear answer. It is not in their best interests to give you a definitive answer. "Full self driving" seems to be a moving goalpost, and now that there's going to be at least two "grades" of it (HW3 and HW4), I don't think there will ever be clarity.

Wait for it all to kick off again today…
Tesla drops interest rates back to 3.9% for PCP and Tesla loan.
Drops payments significantly.
Don’t bother me but I’m sure it will many?

2022 MYLR W/B/20s/Tow bar. Previously 2021 M3SR+
Not really, the interest charged on car finance is a function of profitability and not anything to do with the base rates. It’s just marketing to get people through the door or somewhere to skim extra profit that is a bit hidden.
You could get cars on 0% back before the 2008 crash when rates were 5+. The profits were just built into the top line price instead.
I don’t think DFS has ever charged interest on their finance deals.

ooh. this makes it interesting. Previously it was just treading water if you needed their finance - prices down but APR up. This is now a proper price cut per month for those needing finance.
I can walk away from my 3LR one year into a loan without negative equity and potentially into a lower monthly for a RWD 3/Y (which is probably enough for me given larger LFP batteries). No USS on new ones though?

I agree, another price cut would create a greater panic (amongst the invisible keyboard warrior n*bs that like to stir it up) and this is just a means of doing it stealthily.
I doubt it will make the Daily Mail front page shouting doom and gloom to Tesla and the EV market, but who knows?
But I'll say again I don't give a "sugar" as I'm more than happy with my choice as I like to think I'm intelligent enough to make my own decisions without government intervention. That's not to say we don't make mistakes but that's life... hindsight is crystal ball stuff
I did a trade in check and I think basically at ‘walk away’ no equity but no negative equity. Would let me get into a Y or 3 RWD at the same monthly figure with no deposit probably.
Interestingly Tesla called me to chase the trade in. Don’t know if that’s normal or they’re particularly keen to get people moving in Q1. Offered to arrange a test drive for me too

I saw the news about 3.9% APR too. I have a MYLR on delivery in early March, and I'm on a PCP quoted at 6.9% APR. Haven't got the invoice and anything yet - would they retroactively apply the interest reduction to current orders not delivered yet? I'll write to my sales assistant - cancelling the order now and reordering I would still be better off even if I lost the £200.

I was just about to look at getting a new M3P to replace mine, as it'd be a tiny bit cheaper on the monthlies.
Then I remember they don't have parking sensors, and don't have a software solution yet, so no interest from me really.

I’m in same boat, delivery date 1st march. This is the current status “We are drafting up your invoice and will contact you to arrange your final payment.”
Have asked for call back from them. Will cancel present order if they are not going to apply it retrospectively.
I'll do the same - I have exactly the same current status.
Let's keep each other updated
Not surprised, they have 500 inventory cars listed at the moment. And maybe even that is just a limit on how many they list.
Having a look, there are loads of M3 with Tow bar in inventory. I wonder if something daft is going on in so much as you can;t order a M3 with tow bar easily so nobody has and therefore not matching with cars in stock?

Had the call. Was able to get VIN number.I'll do the same - I have exactly the same current status.

They will discuss with the finance team and get back later. Keeping fingers crossed, they change from 6.9 to 3.9.
