Demand is off the charts unmeasurable. I've been a Tesla fanboy since (I don't know when somewhere between 2008 and 2013). I still haven't bought a tesla (for various reasons).
Just a slight dip in pre tax credit prices on the Model Y and a firm understanding that I get the tax credit and I'm in on my first Tesla (in 2023?).
Prices dip more than that and I grab a 2nd Tesla shortly after.
There are millions of people like me waiting in the wings for the right time to buy. (The cars have been good enough for me all along)
And that's not counting all the existing Tesla owners that will pick up a new daily driver or trade in/upgrade from an older Tesla.
Elon can say the nicest or most reprehensible things and it won't change my desire to replace my current daily driver.
Any one that thinks demand is an issue or that what Elon says will affect demand is clearly unaware of the huge numbers of us ready to snap up a reasonably priced Tesla.
I fully expect prices to drop when Austin Texas is pumping out full capacity, I also expect demand to be robust enough that the price drop will be minimal. I expect to pay more than I want to for my next car. But a Model Y under $40K after tax credit would be a deal I'm ready to do now.
