If you’re buying just to flip, a Tesla is a very risky proposition anytime!Last time I buy a Tesla. I had never lost so much money overnight.
For those who seek to try and capitalize by buying and flipping then I guess I can understand their grievance. Personally, I wouldn’t take that risk.If you’re buying just to flip, a Tesla is a very risky proposition anytime!
Good article although somewhat self serving to the marketing industry and I doubt it’ll convince the Tesla bros.
As delightful as it is to look at a screen saying Tesla owes me $35k, I know this is a fault in their accounting system.It might be the amount that will go to pay off your Mach-E. And clearly something got messed up and will get corrected eventually but it might take months
@DaveInLA , you would have gotten $7500 tax credit if you waited. So, it's like 11KI picked up my MYLR on 12/30 and for the $7500 off plus 10K supercharger miles. I looked up the same arrangement today and it is about $4500 cheaper than I paid. The 10k miles is worth probably $1000 or less to me since so probably won’t use all of them in 2 years. So I paid about $3500 more than I would have if I waited.
Money is money. I don’t know how it is different. Does it come greased for less pain?Dealer markup is different from MSRP price changes.
Hehehehe now if that is not a joke, then what is.I disagree. Savvy buyers have always been able to research what “invoice” is for their particular build and use it in negotiations with dealers as not to get shafted on MSRP. Invoice may go up and down between model years but doesn’t drop 20% overnight.
I noticed on Autotrader prices for recent vintage, low mileage 2021 and 2022 MYs HIGHER than a new 2023 MY you could order today from Tesla, or pick one from inventory. Interesting to see at which point used MYs will drop enough that it would make sense to buy one over a new one.For those who seek to try and capitalize by buying and flipping then I guess I can understand their grievance.

I purchased the MYP because I was in the market for a new vehicle and I genuinely liked the car after test driving it. Granted, I liked the Model S more, but I wasn’t willing to stretch the budget considering we’re financing another new vehicle we purchased less than a year before we picked up the Y. So while I would have preferred to pay current prices, I can’t go back in time to reverse that decision and I’ve already accepted it. Fortunately, we’re in a comfortable financial position, so we can afford to take a hit and accept the loss. However, I do feel bad for families or individuals who had to stretch their budget significantly in order to get into a new vehicle only to find out later that the same model is much more affordable today. They’re stuck with the current cost while the used Tesla market has taken a nose dive and they won’t be able to break even. That has to hurt. I’ll pass the MYP on to my son when he graduates college, or my daughter when starts high school in a few years. Life goes on.
Dealer markup doesn't affect the value of used cars nearly as much as changing the MSRP does.Money is money. I don’t know how it is different. Does it come greased for less pain?
What about “factory cash back” or “rebate”offers? I received $10k off a new car purchase before.Dealer markup doesn't affect the value of used cars nearly as much as changing the MSRP does.
