This isn't to complaint about the price reductions, other than to ask, does anyone else feel like they basically render the tax credits pointless? By Tesla adjusting the prices to reflect the dwindling tax credits, it feels to me like they are the ones getting the most benefit from the tax credit, not the purchaser. I feel like it almost negates any benefit the tax credit provides, because the car is going to be the same price for everyone, regardless of when they purchase, regardless of tax credit.
One of the reasons we took the plunge and ordered our M3 back in September was to ensure we got the full tax credit before the end of the year. I love our car, but if I knew that I could get the car for the same price or cheaper (after tax credit) regardless of when I purchased it, we may not have been so quick to sign on the dotted line. I'm sure this was the point and I'm ok with price reductions, but it would have been nice if they made the prices just so the 2018 purchasers felt like they had a teeny bit of advantage to falling into the higher tax credit bracket. Is it just me that sees it this way? I'd be open to hearing points of view that help me see it from a different perspective (without being snarky).
