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.

I guess slickdeals is a kind of game. But practically speaking it doesn't make any sense to think about saving $20 when you have $millions.

If you're making, i don't know, $200k, then your time is worth $100/hr, and it would be hard to save that much clicking on stuff everyday.
Well duh, why do you think deal alerts exist. Set up searches and it automatically pings you when something you want flags. Then save money. Easily have saved north of 50k over years on big purchases due to deal and travel sites where you can have saved searches.

Folks don't get rich by spending full price. You get rich by saving both time and money Wink

There has been a quiet, but rather large price drop in new Tesla vehicles, to the tune of approximately $20,000

I placed an order on 8/27/2023 for a MX at $100,880 before any discounts. From my MVPA. at that time:



As of 8/31/2023 and an updated, the price was reduced to $80,880.



There are no "inventory" discounts that I can see at this time, but both the main web site for S/X new vehicle purchases, and existing inventory are showing such a reduction. This includes the LR and Plaid models.

Please note:

* Tesla has revamped things so you cannot take a vehicle from one State and try to have it delivered to another (registration) for that custom build
* Certain States and locations offer discounts on EVs, like NJ which doesn't charge sales tax.
* There are taxable benefits for business owners, along with deductions for vehicles under certain price points ($80K) but check w/ the professionals on this one if you qualify

Take out the Yoke steering and you will qualify for $7500 credit if AGI is less than $300K for married filing jointly.

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.
surveys on owners are showing that the battery degradation in tesla's the fear mongers were suggesting...isn't happening. So you are good to go.

Whats this saving $20 business? The Plaid was $137190 in 2022, and now its $89990. Thats a savings of $50K(including taxes), compared to this time last year.

Honestly, as a guy who has two 3000GTs in my garage... the Plaid has insane price to performance. If I could afford one, I would do it.

I'm pretty sure the plaid was going for $130k early last year. That's a big drop in a year and a half.
Yeah and every youtuber said "Great speed, horrible quality, fake range, love the car". I never got it, especially when there were more luxurious options at lower prices.

Tesla's aren't actively selling, which is why they resort to significant price reductions due to competition and lower demand than what they expected and mass produced (with poor quality). Companies don't typically lower prices to increase affordability; instead, Elon charges what he believes the market will bear. Additionally, reducing prices by 20% won't allow a company to maintain its trillion-dollar status unless it boasts a margin of 40% or higher. Essentially, anyone who bought Tesla within the past year has seen their resale value drop by 50% in just one year. All credits goes to Tesla.

That's not at all what he said, and any accelerated loss of value is not good, regardless of asset or liability. No reason to try to re-write a bad story.
Never said they did. Just stated a very popular opinion.

What is this hoopla about a 10 year old vehicle?
Why are we even talking about it?

Astute mathmatically... but you assume (or at least infer) that high earners don't have hobbies or fill in down time with less than economically efficient past times...

I make about 200k.... I have a small need footprint and don't have many bills. I find myself buying things I didn't know I needed because I can save 20/50 bucks I found here. Show me a slick deal on a DeWalt tool and I am gonna buy it if I can come with some way I can possibly use it (even theoretically - ask my three year old belt sander still in the manufacturer packaging!). By the time I pay for the gas to drive to Home Depot pick up the tool.... I may not get any savings at all. But I enjoyed the hunt and it made me do something of value (besides working on building a better mousetrap in my paid gigs). Even if it's just imagining what I might do with the object of my imaginations. If they paid me $100+ an hour for all my waking hours to refrain from trolling the latest tool and tech deal on Slickdeals.... I suppose I'd refrain because it made economic sense. But they don't. So I don't. And if we turn it into a survey of whether I'm making rational economic calculations with every minute I have... I would lose. I play games on my phone sometimes and it is a complete waste of time.

My time is worth more than what I save.... for sure. But I derive a lot of value and I enjoy the hunt... and that is worth something. I won't give up 100 bucks an hour to do it, but in my downtime, I love looking for the tool or toy that I didn't know that I needed.

If you're interested in filling some of my time with more economically viable ways to kill time... reach out. I am smarter and more diligent than any department of devs you've ever run across. I am the best project manager on wheels because I can't be BS'ed and I can do all the work myself if I have to. In the meanwhile.... I have more awake time than I have clients paying for it. They wrongly assume I want to do something other than solve problems. Smilie

When I have down time... I shop for new tools/toys or go use the newest ones. I think I might need a plaid. But first I have to find out what one is! 🤣
