I am going to talk to the manager. I picked up my MYLR on Dec 28th with the 7500 credit. I did expect the new year it would drop the price around $7500~9000 but not like 20%. I would like to see how many of you will go to the store and what would you request from the manager?

Please share as I will go this Saturday.

TSLA has no refund/adjust policy now. Now i know why they were hounding me to buy since last month

See what happened in China recently

Also I though the tax credit wasn't avail till now in 2023

I learn that some of the Owners in China got Free FSD and extended warranties. will you think we could get some supercharge miles or FSD?

Going full Karen and asking to speak to the manager is going to get you beans. Showroom managers have ZERO authority to do anything for you.

But hey, good luck. Hopefully the whole display is cathartic?

You bought a car. Drive it and enjoy. You won’t get anything.

I also took delivery on the 28th. Even with the rebate, this pricing is $7k cheaper and I wouldn't have had to fly out to pick it up lol. Not sure if FSD would make me happy when the car has trouble with just staying on cruise control haha

Tesla shuts down protesters – no compensation for price drop

Tesla is shutting down buyers in China who are protesting after missing out on significant price drops in the country.

You're just gonna waste your time. They won't give you back anything.

*sugar*.....I am so pissed...

 

[gaswalla]

it only will get worse... future cars will have more range and features and still be a lot cheaper than 2022 prices

Not much you can do - I'm in the same boat - maybe there's a class action lawyer willing to take this up but will take years. The best thing to do is dump their stock if you own any and don't give them one more cent for premium connectivity or any added features or buy another car from them.

Class action? What is your loss?

sanity . I feel the same way about my $2k Big screen tv and worse still buying a house in 2007 in AZ.

This reminds me of buying my 3 in 2019. Tax credit always mess with markets... This time it's huge though

Misrepresentation, false marketing, and lying to customers are legitimate issues that companies get investigated for

What, pray tell, was misrepresented, falsely marketed, or lied about in your motor vehicle purchase agreement?

Do keep us updated on your litigation.

I have no idea but I'm pretty sure tons of lawyers are jumping over Tesla. If it's not a class action lawyer over lying to customers about say features that are non-existent, it'll be a regulator concerned about software that leads to 9 car pile ups. There's so many different angles here that it's a lawyers dream target.

Anyways, how about you stop trolling me and start preparing to dump your Tesla stock before they tank from today's announcement. Can't imagine having my net worth be slashed by 60% in a year. Have a nice life!

market is being irrational. Long term TSLA will be great, but I wouldn't have all my net worth in any one stock unless i'm Elon (even he doesn't more than likely)

Tesla could definitely be great but I think they’ve gotten arrogant and very anti customer. It doesn’t take much to disrupt the arrogant incumbents. See big three automakers as a good example of this same type of behavior in the past. Microsoft is another good example.

I look at what they’re doing as coming from a place of desperation. You don’t do a price cut like this if you effectively managed supply and demand. No one is looking at this favorably except for new buyers (lucky them).

But they did effectively manage supply and demand. Raising prices when supply is low and demand is high, and reversing when the two swap, is exactly what you’re supposed to do.

They have a glut of vehicles now that they have to heavily discount to move and a lot of angry customers that feel they got screwed - I doubt no one who bought in November and December (their all time highest deliveries) are happy with this. That’s not success. Shows they failed to forecast demand properly and are pulling knee jerk reactions. The reason we know it’s not planned is because the price has gotten successively better over several waves rather than a structured promotion. That’s not a brilliant master plan but shows desperation to move inventory.

One thing Apple does is maintain the top tier price points and segment the market with lower cost products that are similar but different. Eg iPhone 14 vs iPhone 14 pro. They make sure to align supply and demand with price stability and regular cadences so customers keep coming back for more.
