If you buy a car at a higher price and have an insurance covered accident, you will get less for your car than you paid for it, but also pay less for the replacement vehicle. The Delta will be similar as if there was no price cut.
Same thing happens when you trade in your Tesla for another Tesla.
If prices go up, then you most likely will recieve more for your last car, and pay more for your new car.
Biggest issue for Tesla is whether to charge more for their cars , and get more profit from each car, or charge less and make more profit from volume and scale.
When batteries are in short supply, it makes more sense for them to charge higher prices, but when components become cheaper and more available, they will probably switch to a higher volume/lower profit per car strategy.
