Have been in the market for a new Model S, and last night I saw that the prices for new inventory Model S's had dropped by ~$8,000 (to ~$79K for a new 2018 100D with Enhanced Autopilot, etc., and the standard new inventory mileage of 50 miles). Couldn't sleep this morning, and then noticed that prices had dropped another $5,000 (to ~$74K for a car with same specs), so went ahead and ordered it. Anyone have any idea what's going on here?? The spec sheet for my order shows a discount of $36,000, and according to EV-CPO, had been listed for over $90K until it suddenly dropped by ~$16K this morning, along with a bunch of other cars - so it's not just this one! Am I missing something, or this just an amazing deal right now? My search on EV-CPO for New Inventory 100Ds with EAP for <$83K, which has had no results until last night, is now showing 78 matches!
Likely catching up with new prices, finally. Or, there is a new version around the corner. Or, both. Or neither.
New inventory prices went down with the new prices an expected amount, but, then additionally dropped by ~$16K this morning. So an equivalent new inventory model is now ~$20K less than a custom order. Doesn't make sense...
Most of the inventory ones are EAP, I don't think they've touched the AP capabilities of the inventory ones. Go on ev-cpo and check them out. Super tempting, but out of my price range. I am willing to go up to 80K for a P100D with AP2, and there are a couple with a 100% match of what I want for $98K, and AP2.5 and MCU2.
"They just dropped by 35-40K last night" Priced one March 10 and priced identical one this morning. Exactly the same price.
I guess I don't know for sure, but I think anything manufactured after March 2018 is MCU2. It is possible some of the inventory was manufactured before that though.
Quick look at teslacpo.io shows this Very many at EV-CPO show graphs like this So a bunch dropped by around 35-40K last night, but a few days ago they increased prices by about 20K. So the difference from 6 days ago to day is 20K less today. There are a few that were at 120K, never went up to 140K, and didn't drop to 100K. Maybe you looked at one of those.
My comment was for Ordering a Model S New. Misread the inventory bit. Price didn't budge on ordering new but Inventory certainly came down. Occurred to me that it could mean that a refresh was imminent....but not a shred of evidence since that would confirm this.
I noticed this, too! I've been in the market for a new or used Model S, and I placed an order on a used MS 75D on Thursday night. Friday evening, I was scanning through the Tesla's new inventory page, and noticed the huge price drops. I quickly got in touch with my advisor and changed my order to a MS 100D. Got a screaming deal on it, if I don't mind saying so!
I passed on this car because I wanted a different color and config, but damn, what a value! One could knock a further $1,500 off by opting for the base wheels instead of the Sonic Carbon.
I just talked with my local advisor and he confirmed removing ludicrous will shave off $20k and also confirmed that I can downgrade the wheels to silver and save another $1500! Awesome!
