Of course it’s possible.Are you suggesting that further price cut is possible?
I have been critical of Tesla's Pieces for months and even I can't think they can go down any further. But nothing would surprise me. WoW.
Depending on the Fed’s interest rate policy and what happens with the economy, I’d say anything is possible and a pendulum that swings violently in one direction tends to swing back violently.Are you suggesting that further price cut is possible?

Glad I decided to do some Tesla price checks this evening! I originally ordered a MY in February of last year, but had to cancel in November due to my trade value crashing. I have been shopping for used ever since.
Now I can order a new MY for less than my original order last February? Sold!
This past year has been a roller coaster for sure with prices, demand, and wait times, and I am sure there are more to come in the months ahead.
I'm not pissed, I'm disappointed in Tesla's seemingly arbitrary pricing. The car I received 30 days ago costs basically the same to build as the car that is being delivered tomorrow, despite the $13k less tomorrow's owner is paying, FSD included. We're taking about MSRPs, not dressing up that dealerships do. And we _hate_ dealership games that result in different car owners getting different prices, and I would hope that Tesla stayed out of that company.I get being pissed off, but based on past history, Tesla never gives any bones to previous owners for price drops, just like other manufacturers don't either. In general, manufacturers have no obligation to always continually raise prices or to maintain a minimal price. After all, given all the price increases, if Tesla were to raise the price, would you be paying them a few thousand dollars when they do so? If not, why do you expect you should get anything when they lower prices?
It’s really interesting how strategic Tesla was with this. With the new pricing you can either get:Yeap, they are balancing what they can give and cannot. MSM paint is not free anymore either so you've got to pick and choose carefully what to absolutely get at order and what to get after.

Yep.Of course it’s possible.
Yet people will tell us we don't have grounds to be upset/disappointed, and it's our fault for not waiting for Tesla to lower the prices. I hope they lose 20k in one day and be happy with it; that's life-changing money for some people.I'm not pissed, I'm disappointed in Tesla's seemingly arbitrary pricing.

Further, if Tesla would have allowed me, for example, to pay with credit card, like I would have been able to do for a $80k television/AV/seating at, say, Best Buy, I'd be able to take advantage of price drop protections, offered both by Best Buy and my credit card. But that's another story.
Basically, it's going to be hard for Tesla to pretend you're buying experience is different that other makes when at the end of the day, you get screwed anyway.
It's misleading to suggest they did it for altruistic reasons or that this is a common thing. They did it related to the Bolt battery fires. Basically you had to sign off on waivering any claims related to the battery fires.

No, they didn’t. They bought people off to keep them from suing over their spontaneously combusting cars. Please stop conflating these things.GM gave Bolt buyers $6k credit back (or whatever the price drop was) after the price cut.
Yes, which is very reasonable - but once you’ve signed the contract and taken delivery, you’re done.Some manufacturers give price protections if they were pushed to a new model year due to not getting the old model in time. Ford Lightning EV folks get their old price if they ordered at old price, etc.
Responded to your post as did others. It was just a measure to avoid lawsuits based on the battery fires.GM gave Bolt buyers $6k credit back (or whatever the price drop was) after the price cut.
That's the opposite thing, which Tesla offers too. If you put in an order, you get to keep the old price on a Tesla, even when Tesla raises the price. You also get the new lower price if Tesla lowers the price up to the price it is to delivery. However, after you take delivery, the transaction is over.Some manufacturers give price protections if they were pushed to a new model year due to not getting the old model in time.

There are other problems at times with the old model and good and bad with both.
Sign a waiver for what exactly? Promising not to sue Tesla over being super-duper bummed that the price changed?I can't say I know all the fine print, but will some of the folks here be willing to sign a waiver and get back $14k? I think a lot would sign that if given the option.
No, it's not. Exact same impact on buyer once mark ups go awayDealer markup is different from MSRP price changes.
Their sales model has always been “everybody who buys on the same day pays the same price”.Basically, it's going to be hard for Tesla to pretend you're buying experience is different that other makes when at the end of the day, you get screwed anyway.
