Model 3 deals Q2 2020

[tuffcalc]

Anyone forsee any Q2 deals coming up? Thinking of getting into a performance m3.

 

[TexanEV]

No

Wait until the last few weeks of the quarter, that is the only time I've heard of "deals" and even then it's pretty random.

They should really make a “deals” sticky to throw all these post into.

Why would they have discounts if almost no cars were made this qtr and unfulfilled orders are pending?

Think McFly.

...because I see 8 performance M3s sitting in inventory for the last two months.

Nice McFly reference. You must be old.

Right now I see 65 performances available in the US. So basically 1 available per State ....

Definitely time for a fire sale

Used model S are getting into reasonable price range now. Used model 3 might also by years end. New, maybe in a year or two the range and features might go up for same price or slightly higher.

Be patient, it’s coming. With the 3 aging( not that it’s out dated, just not the new new anymore), the increased demand for the Y being America and our love for SUVs, and the flood of low mileage used 3’s on the market. Something will need to be done to move new 3’s.

they plans to introduce a new NMC battery to Chinese model 3 later this year which will hugely bring down the vehicle price. Just wait.

Unless the buyer is in china that's not gonna help them much.

Lol they of course will use the same NMC battery on all model 3?

Will they?

Because these specific batteries everyone is recently talking about are made in china, by CATL, for chinese cars specifically.

The sources said CATL also plans to supply Tesla in China next year with an improved long-life nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) battery whose cathode is 50% nickel and only 20% cobalt.

Tesla in china. Not worldwide.

Indeed if you go back to February the CATL for made-in-china batteries was already being discussed-
CATL-Built Tesla Model 3 Battery Pack Will Use Prismatic Cells | CleanTechnica

(among many other articles)



Whereas Tesla is supposedly working on their own domestic battery production, likely with different cells.

"Cheap and light" is going into made in china model 3s (and Ys I'd expect)

Much higher capacity and discharge tech is what's going into things like Plaid Model S/X and the Roadster (and likely Cybertruck and semi).

I see 4 places on that graph that was bigger drop than now.

 

[MP3Mike]

But is this a "deal" or just a price adjustment for here going forward?

 

[Jeff Davlt]

How long before used 3 prices reflect the new, new price?

My awd 2018 model 3 is depreciating at like $10,000 per year (just based on price decreasing)
