Also, Tesla for sure was short on sales volume for the last quarter as they were shy of the target in Q3 (hence the recent price cut few days back).
My question: if more prospective buyers wait for Jan 2024 (due to instant tax credit), Tesla would be under even more pressure to meet their sales numbers for Q4. So they have to go even aggressive to meet Q4 numbers. So does it make sense to wait?
Thanks in advance your perspective.
However, prices could go back up early in the quarter in January. Especially if Tesla is anticipating a surge in orders for Point of Sale. Might take time for prices to go back down after the initial surge. It's anyone's guess what happens but it's still a buyers market since high interest rates aren't going away.
Do you think humans just discovered electricity or something?
Pepsi, the company testing them, has multiple ones covering all the places they're driving.
That's how they're able to demonstrate MUCH longer range, and more than twenty times faster charging times than the abolute nonsense claims you made about the truck.
Once they make more trucks they'll install more chargers.
If there's ANY area no sane person would doubt Tesla it's in number and placement of fast chargers as needed.
.... you're confused by a commercial company using commercial electric rates for the charger on their commercial truck?
Why?

And at least some models (the ones using chinese battery cells) the $7500 likely becomes $3750 on Jan 1... so might be worth buying before then.
No, they were not.
Tesla had 2 of their factories shut down in Q3 for retooling for upgrades-- and they announced way back on their Q2 call they expected lower deliveries as a result of the shutdown turning off production for a few weeks.
Which is exactly what happened.
Even THEN Q3 this year was up 27% over Q3 last year.
Further- with the reduction in inventory discounts and the reduction in the discount a referral gets you, the net-net price hasn't changed significantly with this "cut"
They would not- because the problem in Q3 wasn't lack of demand- it was their two physically largest factories being shut down for weeks- which isn't the case in Q4.
Q4 is already on track (based on ships in transit and other early data) looking likely to be the best quarter Tesla has ever had for deliveries.
Anyway- as I say- if you're looking at one of the models where you might lose half the rebate Jan 1, it definitely doesn't make sense to wait.
If you are looking at one likely to remain $7500 then you don't have that concern.. if you're in no hurry then you've got one pro to waiting in that your car loan (assuming you take one) will be smaller, and thus you pay less total interest, by getting the $7500 up front so might be worth waiting for THAT.
Other wildcard- the highland refresh is not coming to the US this year. It likely IS very early in 2024.
It's unknown if prices will go UP when that happens, so if you're looking at a 3 and are ok missing the refresh changes, it might be significantly cheaper to buy now.
Where did you get insurance rates for a vehicle not on sale yet?
Was it your imagination?
It was your imagination, right?
Yeah... Moter.
Wow... my bad, it was someone ELSES imagination! Can I borrow their time machine where they somehow know the insurance rate of a 2023 vehicle not yet on the market and not even finished being designed back in 2019?
Not really. My insurance is about the same as what it cost on the Lexus my Tesla replaced.
Again insurance is HUGELY YMMV not just from one company to the next, not just one state to the next, not just your age, driving record, and # of drivers, but down to your zip+4 and (in some states) your credit score.
Comparing between people with any difference in any of those is pretty pointless.

More expensive than the average for all other cars
Which is a dumb metric.
A Bentley cost more to insure than a Kia too.
Like for like the insurance costs aren't especially different.

But as I say, folks trying to compare between each other, unless you have identical driving records, locations, often down to credit score, are mostly wasting their time.
As someone also posted earlier, they saw a 2x price gap between highest and lowest quoted prices just calling different companies without changing that they were insuring at all.

There is now more than 10 years of real world data to model maintenance costs and range loss for these cars.
I'm at 3% loss in 5 years. That's a bit better than typical but not far off of typical. $0 maintenance outside of new tires, new air filter and detailing.

I think there is a chance we could see room for more discounts before the end of the year.
You are correct that EV tax credit will be at POS next year. However; Tesla has said themselves and posted on their website that there is likely to be a reduction to the tax credit after 2023.
Some speculate this could be due to Tesla changing where they source certain components for the batteries in 2024 which would make them only partially eligible for the tax credit.
In any case, it is a bit of a fools errand trying to speculate what Tesla might do as they seem to constantly shift plans . I would say this represents a great deal if you are looking to get in to a Model Y. There is likely to be refresh next year with the Y taking on some of the upgrades the Model 3 (now available oversees) has but nothing too drastic.
I took possession of my model Y long range for $46,580 last month opting to purchase through existing inventory. From what I've seen there is less inventory available now and the inventory prices seem more expensive than they were when I purchased In mid September (TX).

In fact the ONLY places they found more than a few percent difference either way were the X (more expensive) and the Performance Model 3 (cheaper) compared to the most similar BMW.

And the word experimental is a correct word to be used in this situation where the semi truck is not yet a viable option to replace diseal trucks anytime soon but maybe in your parallel dimension where they have all electric battleships and tanks.
