It looks like they cut prices on the Model X and Model X Plaid. The base Model X now sells for $79,990 while the Plaid now sells for $89,990. All color options are included too. It also seems as if it might now qualify for a tax credit.

Edit: Model S prices were slashed too.

LOL at the hate here. Simultaneously complaining the X is too expensive and that the price dropped too much.

The X was $82,200 in 2019, pre-covid. It's (essentially) back to its pre-covid price.

Teslas are far less likely to catch fire than internal combustion (but yes, harder to put out). They may be the safest vehicles on the road, an inherent advantage of not having to put a large metal engine up front.

Autopilot is an incredible achievement and a lot of videos out there by media outlets allegedly showing otherwise don't even have it enabled. Stupid. Dojo, the training for the FSD computer, just started recently so the progress toward autonomy is (while in its infancy) now finally going to harness Tesla's clear advantage in petabytes of training data.

Are we really arguing over whether Teslas are fast? Even the slowest Teslas are fast. Not just in a straight line. You won't find cheap strut suspensions, wrong wheel drive, and poor weight distribution on any Tesla.

Dunno if this helps anyone, but I sat is the Y and X over the weekend in 7 seat configurations. No way would I buy the Y to seat 7 even for short drives. The X was quite nice but too expensive before this price drop (literally, the price of two Y's). This pricing makes more sense.

Now you're categorizing.
Is it the fastest car ever made? No.
Is it the fastest production car ever made? No.
Is it the fastest production sedan under $100k from the Factory? Possibly if you don't count the Demon 170 which is a coupe.

Also what you classify as fast isn't the same thing as I do. 0-60 doesn't mean fast to me, it's quick. Quick to get up to speed. Fast is something that can do a 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile, or top speed. I don't disagree that instant power is great, I was just pointing out the stupidness of saying it was "the fastest car ever made." I've got an Audi S4 that gets 3.2 0-60's with just a simple OTS tune, they just don't come that way from the factory.
what's the fastest production car ever made then?

I don't know what holds the current record or what standard you're looking for. 0-60? top speed? standing mile?

Either way, there are a handful on the list above the plaid in each category. Demon 170, koenigsegg gemera, ssc tutara, rimac nevera, lucid air to name a few.

I have a question. What happens 3 or 4 years down the line when the battery health is down like the phones we use. Do you pay to get the batteries replaced or is there some kind of coverage? Been wanting to get an EV but holding myself back thinking what happens next.
The battery technology and battery management in the Tesla is not the same as in your phone. Real-world data shows that Tesla battery degradation was less than 10% after over 160,000 miles.

Batteries in EV degrade initially about 5% in the first year then that rate slows down dramatically. The next 5% degradation takes 4-5 years.

Tesla battery warranty is 8 years coverage.

They last a lot longer than that https://insideevs.com/news/664106...rage-2022/

But yes, you could get it replaced, and yes it has a 4 years or 50,000 miles warranty.
4 years 50k warranty is for the car.
It is 8 years 120k miles for battery and drivetrain.

Good prices seem to be coming down. Obviously those who purchased at high prices are going to complain. Same goes of other manufacturers as well anyone who bought a new vehicle over paid in the name of market adjustment. In case of Tesla the company itself charged for the market adjustment
True but you could get interest rates as low as 2% last year so I guess it balances out.

No it doesn't. So the fool that paid $130k for the plaid and lost over 50% in value in less then 1 year evens out from 2% interest rate to a 5.5% rate now? Are you for real? LMAOLMAO
Well yeah130k is crazy. Was that the peak price?

Less than a year? The Plaid has been out for over two years already. It took about 18 months for it to hit it's first drastic price cut, before a 6kish price increase.
