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.

Here is my situation. I bought the y performance in or around 3/2022. Paid 70k as i got the white interior and blue exterior, both were upcharges. I only have 3k miles on it now, and was considering either the X or S now that they have dropped towards my budget which was near 70k. The issue is if i want to get rid of the Y now, its about 9k underwater due to all of the model y price drops. The good news is when i bought the Y in 2022, rates were low. Im at 1.9% apr 60 months

So would u guys:

1) stay put in model Y and hope that the low mileage eventually recoups some of the negative equity. I will be averaging 5k annual miles at most. I enjoy the model Y and its perfectly nice and enjoyable. Just prefer the X/S.

2) wait for a further price drop on model x/s once fed tax credits expire.

3) go for the model x/s now and roll the negative equity into a new loan.

Appreciate feedback
Number 1. It sucks what happened, but no need to throw good money after bad.

Rolling negative equity is never a good idea.

I would just enjoy the car and pay it off. Then consider your options.

Youre missing the desirability of those cars vs plaid. As an analogy- let's compare a fine/rare mechanical watch vs a smartwatch.

The smartwatch has way more features but is simplistic in nature.. it's a high volume produced circuit board and OLED screen, a couple sensors and thats it. Becomes outdated quickly, disposable once the latest chip/revision released. Doesnt hold any value really long term.

The mechanical watch has a lot more moving parts, but its desired because of craftsmanship, looks, noise (if you listen closesly), rarity..there is something to be appreciated with the inner workings of it. Can it do more than just tell time? Hell no but you wont be seeing a smartwatch sell/bought for 6 figures by a collector as some mechanical watches do.

Same goes for GT-Rs, Hellcats, Vipers, Lambos, Bugattis, you name it. Fast isnt everything.

That is actually a GREAT analogy.

In the long run very expensive to maintain. You will regret it

Which means it was grossly overpriced initially.

Just to put this "fastest car ever made" to sleep...

The fastest internal combustion engine car ever made from the factory WAS the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ but has been surpassed by the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut

"Fast" is not "quick" - when you're trying to get your point across about 0-60 times, that's a reference of how "quick" it is off the line. It means nothing about the top speed.

There are plenty of 300mph cars out there - ICE / top fuel, jet /turbine engines that can surpass 300mph easily. Those are the "fastest cars ever made".

300mph production cars... (no Teslas)
https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shop...ction-cars

Also, the land speed record was set in 1997... at 763.035 mph - 1227.985 km/h
Tesla is orbiting the planet at what exact speed?

Edit: until someone can show a vehicle traveling at a higher rate if speed (distance covered divided by amount of time) or even a vehicle that has accelerated faster than a Tesla, Tesla will hold the record for quickest and fastest.

Model Y LR AWD is currently around 47K + 1390 destination charge + 250 online order fees. Is that a good price to buy without any Fed incentives?

Did you compare a dodge hellcat to a fine timepiece?

It's a 4400lb dodge with a high power engine slapped in it; it couldn't be more 1-dimensional and basic. "Fast isn't everything". Fast is literally the one trick it has.

So if I were to buy a Model Y, what would the referral credit get me?
Are they going to offer any supercharger credit?

I just got quotes from carvana and even teslA. Its $9k underwater only. Idgaf if u believe me or not. Its Likely only 9k because of low miles. I dont feel dumb buying it at all because i cant predict the future. If i could, i would know that id be responding to a bunch of needle dick idiots on a sd post.
Just curious. What quotes are you getting for your Model Y performance? I have a 2023 MYP with 6k miles and got quoted $45k for trade in with my enhanced autopilot. Bought it in December 2022. Would've considered trading it in for the Model X if I hadn't lost so much equity. At this point, better option to just keep it since we enjoy the car anyway.
