I normally try to stay out of Tesla discussions on HN, and I've had more than one get quite toxic in the past so I'm writing this from a throwaway, but in what world is demand down from 2018 for tesla? According to this release, they still have more orders than deliveries which means they are still taking more orders than they can produce and deliver right now, this quarter had a record setting number of deliveries for the company, and i'm not sure what other markets they are currently delivering to in huge numbers other than the US and Europe (The UK just recently started getting deliveries, and I doubt a large portion of Q2's deliveries was from the UK, but I fully admit I could be way off base there). There also aren't really any "discounts" they are offering, especially not on the SR+. I just helped a friend go through the process of picking one out, and he waited until near the end of the quarter hoping there would be discounts, but there weren't any, even for the few inventory cars that were available (Tesla's website shows literally 0 inventory cars within 200 miles of me in Florida right now...) In fact over the course of Q2 they INCREASED the price of the Model 3 (SR+ included) by at least $400 in the US. I can't speak to their financials at all, for all I know Tesla is losing money at crazy speeds, but demand seems to be there just fine, still over what they can produce, and they sure as hell aren't discounting any car that my friend or I was able to buy. If you answer nothing else, please at least answer where you got the idea that they are heavily discounting anything at the company, ESPECIALLY the SR+ Model 3? Because that seems almost entirely made up and 100% against literally everything I can see myself. Unless you are somehow counting the lower price of their "refresh" Model X and S that they announced march 1st, which seems to be literally the only time prices have gone down for their lineup over the past quarter.
