Fading Tax Incentives and Used Tesla Prices

[TomLewis3]

With the $3,750 tax credit about to expire for new Tesla vehicles, I’d love your opinions as to whether Tesla will find a way to lower prices (throw-in options, etc...) to offset what in essence becomes a $3,750 price increase.

If not, will used models simply become $3,750 more valuable on July 1 than they were on June 30th?

It’s not going down $3750, it’s being reduced to half.

No, the first drop was significant and time for Tesla to right-size the prices as the real cost of manufacturing surfaced.
But a $1750 drop isn't going to be a big deal, and there are so many folks that have complained about price drops, that Tesla probably just want to go through the negative press anymore.

You had an option 6 months ago to get the highest tax credits, you have the opportunity to get some more before the end if the month. And you'll keep some until the end of the year.

Yes. They will reduce prices immediately after the incentive goes away. Just like last time.

They need to sell cars.

And used cars will continue to depreciate. To think a mass production vehicle has a chance to appreciate is misguided thinking.
