People have already done that in the past, here's an example from a year ago:I guess the thing now is buyers will have to know how much a Tesla is actually "worth" paying for and track prices. Sorta like watching prices on amazon or camel x3. Forum and news is going to be lit the next few days with this change.
Price Increase! Base Y price up $2,000 to $56,990...
Another by another site:
Tesla Raises Prices on Model 3 and Model Y
Not that hard to do yourself looking at wayback machine at internet archive. As I mentioned, even this price is not the lowest point yet for Model Y LR (edit: it was $48,990, even lower than the $49,990 shown above). This is just largely partly resetting the previous increases. Certainly not bringing it to RAV4 territory as some are claiming up thread ($50k for a base model mid-size SUV is still firmly in the premium category).
Tesla Cuts Price Of Model 3 And Model Y Long Range Version
This is just matching market trends, except Tesla is doing it transparently with a direct price on their website. Used car prices have declined as the insane market last year has finally peaked. Tesla can't possibly be immune to this completely. Another factor in this is how the tax credit is structured, which puts pressure to hit certain price points.For the record, Amazon doesn't price match neither. Guess you can return stuff though there.
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out and if this is seen as a positive buying experience when it swings the other way. We all know the dealership horror stories, but prices don't tend to swing that much due to cost to make the vehicles and Tesla's were probably never worth how much they charged for them (why they had such high profits).
