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 doubt that Model X will settle round $50k for the next year, given that the Model Y LR base is already $50,490.

Maybe like 2-3 years from now.

My guess is that the Model X base will drop maybe by $3.5-5k before December to let owners qualify for tax credit on the 7 seater model, and settle at around $70k by the end of next year for the time being.
What makes you think the model Y will not drop further? You own one?

Unless you have been living in a cave the last year, Telsa prices are dropping faster than Bill Clinton's pants

Model Y has about another $15K to go. Who knows when, but sooner rather than later.

But hey, if you think $80K is a good price, buy it. You know, you might miss out and the price go up. That is called FOMO

I leased a Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe for two years, and 7 months into my lease with 7500 miles, my car value dropped from $62k MSRP to $38k to trade in when I was seeing how much value it has dropped. Good thing I leased for only two years at $650 a month payment with $0 down at 15k miles per year.

Lemme guess.

You got that on Leasehackr and were gonna flip it, but you were late to the party and the bottom fell out. Right?

Nope. I don't mind because I needed an actual car at the time since my Mach E GT was totaled and I needed a car ASAP and didn't have any options in Jan 2023 that were available. I'm happy with my purchase since my lease is coming up in about a year and a half. I'll have to look for another.

I was only thinking of trading it in for a BMW iX since leasing deals are awesome now if I could get equity in my lease, but not necessarily so. I definitely need a third car now so I'm shopping for an EV currently anyways.

I got really lucky, as my insurance totaled out my Mach E GT days before the price drop and I was also claiming the $7500 tax credit. I was able to get ahead $18k because of the inflated values of the Mach E GT.

My dad bought a Model Y after the first drop in Jan. I'm now shopping for a Model X. I drove the Model Y a lot and know all the features. I believe $50k with the $7500 tax credit is a good price point for now. In fact, didn't Model Y prices smidge up a bit after another price drop? You can tell they're already close to making very little on them.

I don't think it'll drop further significantly now if Tesla can keep claiming the $7500 tax credit for next year. If not, it'll drop proportionally to the tax credit change.

It may drop $3k here or there but won't drop like what happened beginning of this year. Tesla is nearing their margins. Also, you aren't counting for inflation as well. The drop was pretty significant including inflation now.

Model X/S was definitely due for a price drop. It was definitely not worth the price when a Model Y could be had for less than half price when it was 80-90% of the car Model X was.

Again, the Model X will probably drop a little bit further given that inventory is showing a plethora of Model X bases with additional options.

If Tesla makes an affordable compact truck, similar to a Chevy S-10 or Ford Ranger I'll be interested.

wow tesla should hire you to be global director of sales and pay you millions in stock options, instead of lowering the price to capture the TAM looking at hondas and toyotas they should instead... stop doing that. Cashflow and investing in future factories? why do that? lets be completely stagnant and chase the dwindling market of people who only buy BMWs, audis, and mercs..
well..... somebody should hire you - for something; because all you are doing with your time is posting useless comments.

I am not saying if Tesla's strategy is right or wrong - just pointing information so that a potential buyer knows that they are buying a product for the masses and not a luxury item.

Price is moving the right direction. Need to drop further Tesla! Plaid version is very attractive for a sub 2-sec super car!

I would reckon that the model X will trade into Tesla much lower than $60k if you can buy a new one for $72k after tax credit.

I leased a Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe for two years, and 7 months into my lease with 7500 miles, my car value dropped from $62k MSRP to $38k to trade in when I was seeing how much value it has dropped. Good thing I leased for only two years at $650 a month payment with $0 down at 15k miles per year.
Buddy I'd highly recommend checking out leasehackr website if you decide to lease again. My friend got the 2022 grand Cherokee 4xe for 36 months at 379/month at 15k miles. Check out the "signed" tab on the website and scroll to May or June 2023 and you'll see the deal pop up.

Mine was optioned out and not just the 4xe base. I did use leasehackr. I didn't have any down. That $399 deal was for the base with a $4500 down payment. I didn't have a down payment on mine at all.

Plus I needed to have a car in Jan 2023 due to a totaled accident. Didn't have time to wait any longer.

Due to me now having a lot more financial means, I was looking into leasing a BMW iX, but good deals are hard to find unless you live in northeast for those.

I'm going to see if Model X drops any further before December and get one to take advantage of that tax credit before year end.

Bought used?

I paid barely a tad under that for my 2021 Model 3 SR+ new back in 2021. No fed rebates back then unfortunately. I got owned on this car and another luxury SUV lease I bought out when cars were absurdly overpriced.

I paid close to $90k for 2 cars over the last few years that are barely worth half that now. Shit timing. Ah well.
No i bought my MY 2021 LR brand new. Battery cars will always drop like a rock. Also with the new model 3 and Y Highland coming out real soon. It will drop even more. Just have to realistic with yourself and not in denial like some fools here. LMAO$9k underwater when he paid $70k with 3k miles on a 2022 MYP. What a joke he is. Trying to insult everybody's intelligence as well as Elon's. He got FOMO and bought the car thinking it will only go up like a rocket. Guess what? Elon got the best of him! LMAOLMAO

You can go to leasehackr. Most of the deals for Jeep GC 4xe are found in Maryland dealerships.

People should be sure to check out the "Realtesla" sub on reddit to get contrary opinions to shills (who will reply to this and complain). Tesla may be the car for you, and may be great for some (not towing due to mileage decrease), but be sure to get a balanced input.
Reddit is an echo chamber when it comes to any controversial topic or individual is pure black or white...no in between.

/r/RealTesla (and to a slightly lesser extent /r/TeslaInvestorsClub) are a more intensified version of Reddit's echo chamber tendencies. Absolute joke of a sub.
