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.

The best selling model of the Y, the LR AWD, back a couple years ago was $49,990.

Today it is $50,490.

Slightly HIGHER today after the "cuts"

The only drops you've seen are from the RAISED prices that happened during the covid shortages-- right back to where they were before.


The idea there's been crazy unheard of massive low prices just ain't so.


Even on the much more expensive S, the most common model was the LR/100D model....3 years back it was $69,420.

This "price cut" today makes it...$74,990.

A price that is still higher than it was before all the covid shortage price hikes. Even the Plaid S after the recent "cut" is within a couple percent of the price it was for a while 3 years ago.


The X? The most commonly sold model, the LR/100D was just SLASHED to $79,900!

Which is the same price it was back in early 2020 before...the covid shortage price hikes.



So no, it's not like prices keep dropping like crazy.

It's like-- in fact exactly like prices are just normalizing back to the same prices they were (or even still slightly higher than they were) 3-4 years ago.
You have to expect some price increase due to inflation

We bought a used 2018 75D X early last year for the same price as a new one now. I sorta feel like as if I invested in bitcoin. Resale value just tanked for sure.
I bought a 1998 4 runner last year for 3K.....resale value is now around 10K 😊

Own a Model X 100D for 6 years. It's been one of the best cars I have ever owned. Acceleration is amazing and just the infotainment system is better than any other car maker. Driving electric is the future and makes so much sense.

I can't stand the falcon wing doors. Have had to have the sensors on both sides replaced twice and they still show faulty sometimes and will only open the doors partially. When it works, it is great. If I had to buy another tesla again, I would go with the Model Y. Just to avoid getting those falcon wing doors.

It depends on your situation. Owning a tesla vehicle will be one of the most expensive purchases you will ever make. The car is amazing and I love driving my model X but I wouldn't get the Model X. Would switch to Model Y instead. Just test drive the car and see how you like the car.

What's stopping them to drop it out further. I feel like Tesla prices are on a free fall and there's no stopping that. People who bought Y three months ago are already deep underwater.
with Tesla, it is possible they may drop prices further. The reason why they dropped the Model X by almost 41,000 dollars is that they want the car to qualify for the tax break.

I did test drive few months ago, and it didn't impress me enough to spend this much money

He also left out all the tax credits and incentives, that Tesla didn't have three years ago.

What does that even mean? You seem to just be trolling....
According to reports, the electric car covered the 1/4 distance in just 8.834 seconds, with a top speed of 161.37 mph. The Model S Plaid can go from 0 to 60 mph in 1.99 seconds. It has 1,020 horsepower and all-wheel drive.

Your understanding is incorrect- the personal EV tax credit is non-refundable and does not carry over year to year.

It offsets current year tax liability only, dollar for dollar until liability reaches $0 or you have used up all the EV credit you are entitled to.




Well-- one of them.... there's a bunch of others including superior engineering, efficiency, battery management, vertical integration, software and OTA updates, advanced L2 ADAS, they ability to actually produce EVs in volume, etc... That's why they can sell lots of cars with better specs at a lower price and still make money compared to legacy auto that can't even sell inferior spec cars at higher prices without losing $ on them, and why the majority of all EVs sold in the US continue to be from Tesla.
Oh oh. I may have misunderstood. I can still take advantage of the $7500. My liability will exceed that. I am also installing solar panels. That may have been what the accountant said I could carry over? Does that part sound right?
