Probably because there isn't really a battery deterioration problem...

False. I've had mine for 2 years and zero degradation. Friends had there's for 5+ years and very minimal loss.

Quote from Matrix80 :
I wouldn't blame them! I'm amazed someone would buy this over a 5-series BMW or E-series Mercedes! I'll give you the Performance model is wicked fast, but then that's $90K+.

I didn't even know they had a "Plaid" model with $100K Lincoln Navigator and am very happy! Long live 12 MPG.
Even the regular model S is very fast 0-60. 3.7 seconds. For reference, that's about base M550i tier straight line performance which is 77k, 79k with driver assist (which isn't as good).

If you want straight line performance Tesla is phenomenal value. If you don't care about acceleration doesn't make much sense outside of environmental/tech features. Tesla isn't for everyone but for those it is for they tend to like them a lot (note: I don't own a Tesla personally).

That's not a great price for a car. I mean, if you need a luxury car, maybe. How many of us need a luxury car?

Glad for those who can support the electric car industry though.
The price is a good value for what's included if you compare it with comparable ICE (gasoline) vehicles.

Can it double as a house during a tough economic decline in 2021?

Just have a Chinese company give you $10 million/year for 3 years for introducing them to your dad.

Quote from NoLightOn :
I think this is probably a prelude to Tesla dropping a major update to the S.

The car hasn't been refreshed in quite awhile. Likely looking to clear out old parts.

They actually refresh the build often. It's the overall interior and exterior design that's not been changed since majorly since 2012. And minority since late 2016.
