Upset that Tesla screwed customers who took delivery in the last few months

[nate704]

32k loss is worse than my 20k. Elon musk killed his brand over night and will scare all future buyers away with such drastic decision making. It’s just starting to hit the new now.

FSD moving to NN next week. Heads blown....?

I'm dumb what does NN mean in this context?

Neural Network. FSD has been running off Vision but will be moving to the Neural Network aka the artificial intelligence processors. Under Vision it can be thought of as programming language, sliders etc do this if this or that. Under the NN, AI will decide the best route or maneuver, etc etc and it's gonna control the whole car fwiw. It's pretty huge.

I think it’s funny that so many people placed orders and held them for months and months, even over a year to keep the price locked in. When Tesla raised prices, they didn’t go back and increase these buyers cars. No, they honored the lower price. Now Tesla has lowered prices and people are complaining? Sorry you and I bought when the cars were higher priced. But that’s just life. Buy a TV this week and next week it might be half price. Too bad.

I’ll return the tv and get it at half price. Almost every retailer has return and price guarantee policy. Don’t compare apples to oranges.

If other EV's and cars match this, we could see a decrease in inflation, which could cause fed to back off rate hikes. Thanks Elon!

With respect to Elon's tweets; fool me once shame on me fool me 15,000 times shame on you. I'm more confident in what the onion says than him.

Then...walk...away...you don't have to live with such bitterness.

What if the TV is already 3 months old ? apples to apples?
It’s game over for all these other OEMs trying to compete in the EV world they won’t be able to match what Tesla is doing

As soon as someone makes a better product, which is quickly approaching, I will. I'm not bitter because I didn't waste my money buying FSD. I bought my MY based on its current capabilities not hoping that Elon would follow through on his bold promises.

 

[dflowerz]

Yep I probably overpaid for my MYP. Love the car though and it is a perfect fit for what we needed. Life goes on. Sure would be bad if Tesla got driven out of business by the competition and we had cars with no support anymore. Better to keep the cars selling and keep the company healthy.

Why should I give a damn about other companies and if they’re trying to compete. I’m not team Tesla, I’m not team other OEM. I’m team Me. I’m team my finances. I have 0 care if Tesla is “out competing” other companies. At the end of the day, there is a inferred residual value to a large purchase like a car with an expected depreciation curve. Tesla screwed over anyone by deceptively hiding their mark ups. Stop trying to tell people we’re wrong to feel a certain way about being upside down in a car that is anywhere from 3 days to 6 Months old. It’s just callous. If you are tired of seeing people bitch, don’t open the thread!

With Tesla doing large price drops on their new cars how much value loss is on the Teslas people already own? Has trade in values crashed? How much is a Model 3 or Y worth on the used market right now? Will we see more repossessions due to people walking away from high car payments since their vehicle is worth way less than it was a month ago?

The market was crashing already. We're entering a recessionary period, this is when companies with pricing power can lower prices because recession. If those who bought cars to flip in a year... they made the wrong decision as the whole market is cratering. Buying at the high...

 

[slashtom]

I don't think people will trash their credit because the car is now worth less than their loan value.. lol. I mean how many "sub prime" people buying Teslas?

“Deceptively hiding their mark ups“. Are you saying you missed the Hundreds of articles and news segments on Tesla’s margins? Really? lol. In fact they have stated publicly with their high margins they could and will likely use that margin power to offset economy worries and competition. Not really a hidden secret unless you had your eyes closed.
