Model X Pricing

[NigelM]

I'm really not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but we're a long way from "significant deliveries begin early 2014". Has it occurred to anyone that the Federal Tax Credit might not exist by then?



Of course, it could also be higher!

Possible but unlikely as it'd need a Republican clean sweep in November; looking highly unlikely atleast on the Presidential front...

For those of you who, like me, believe in efficient markets, the Iowa Electronic Markets provide a market-based view on major U.S. elections. Currently the market has Obama's likelihood of winning at about 60%. (The chart below will update over time.)

Go back a few weeks and it might have looked different and that's my point: this is ridiculously early to be discussing pricing.

People who want to decide between S & X need to ball park the price. Nothing ridicolous about that.

It's not like there will be a $20,000 difference though. Tesla has stated that the X pricing will be similar to Model S. If you're spending $60-90k on a car I can't really believe that your decision would be affected by a coupla thousand difference in the prices. You'd buy the car you want.

Not only that, but doing this so early might set expectations and we'd end up with a fiasco all over again when Tesla posts REAL prices that don't match the fantasy prices folks have had in their head for 2 years.

Actually there is a potential $20,000 difference between the Model S I thought I wanted and the Model X I now think I want.

I was looking at the 40 kWh Model S for $49,900, optioned up it would be $63,600. The cheapest Model X optioned the way I would like (see post #1) would be $79,600. And some of you think that it could be even $5,000 more than that. Making a difference of $21,000.

With that said, I agree it's all very preliminary and speculative. Which I have no problem with. If I did have a problem I wouldn't be on this website so much, because other than the Roadster section, it's mostly all speculative until Tesla delivers the cars and we get to pay for them and drive them.

Tesla is already deliberately setting expectations by saying the Model X costs will be comparable to the Model S in the range of $60-$90,000.

Priced comparably to a similarly equipped Model S is what they've said. Last I checked they aren't building whole pricing tables though.
