As of today Teslas cost $1,750 more than yesterday. It is effectively a price increase in the US. The tax credit went down, raising the price by $3,750. Tesla lowered the price by $2,000.
$3,750 - $2,000 = $1,750
This doesn't signal a ceiling for price as the title implies. I implore the mods to change the title. It's misleading clickbait.
You can tell from the url the original title was much more reasonable...
"Tesla cuts prices as model 3 deliveries narrowly miss estimates"
- baking 8y agoI clicked on the title ready to judge it as click-bait like yourself, but I think the text makes a good point that the majority of reservation holders seem to be willing to wait for their $35,000 Model 3s. Too bad they didn't get their $7,500 tax credit though.
- andrewtbham 8y agoMy main problem is with the title of the article... more than the article.
- baking 8y agoI agree. At first glance, the "price cuts" wouldn't seem to signal anything. But the price cuts combined with the outstanding reservations does seem to imply more cost sensitivity than we have seen in prior Tesla sales.
