Why no price drop on Model 3 Performance?

[Justaguy111]

I was just curious why every other Tesla model and config has had a price reduction in Canada within the last 2 months, except for the Model 3 Performance? Does anybody else find that weird?

Because it’s the Performance version?

They dropped the price on the Model Y performance.

And Model s and x performance

And Model s and x performance

The Y dropped because the SR Y is being dropped.

S and X were HOW old before their prices dropped? Mostly due to tech changes and improvements?

if there is still demand then no need to drop the price

IIRC they had hiked the Model 3 prices some time ago and then lowered them again. The Performance 3 is currently at the pre-hiked price.

Y dropped in price probably because of a combination of:

1.) Soft demand
2.) Factoring in future expansion plans at the Freemont plant => Higher production volume = lower costs
3.) Further harmonization of the parts used in both the 3 and Y = further cost savings

IMO, the Model Y performance doesn't really make any sense: Staggered tires, bigger rims/thinner tires, lowered suspension, lower range. It takes a lot of the "utility" out of a CUV.
