- A base model customer is looking at wheel choices on the wall: cheap, medium, expensive. The car's final cost is dependent on those choices.
- A Perf (or Sig) customer is looking at the same wheel choices on the same wall. The car's final cost is not dependent on the choice.
Seems a fair question to ask why the price impact is different for two people making the same choice of wheel. The wheel cost for Tesla is the same for both customers.
I care about whether things make sense, whether the duality of this pricing structure has a consistent logic. This thread about arranging tire swaps only exists because Tesla's wheel pricing structure has a disconnect with the actual wheel value.
I've told three different represenatives how deeply offensive this is to Sig and Perf customers.
