    Tesla dropped prices on all models from $3k-$30k two days ago. Some vehicles now also qualify for $7500 tax credit.

    I ordered a Model 3 Performance from new inventory which should be delivered in about a week.

    Bough a model Y last year which we love.

    If your interested I'd suggest looking into ordering ASAP as waiting list might blow up and tax credit may be reduced in March.

    Tesla used to be considered luxury brand competing with BMW/ Benz. Now they're ramping production to overtake GM/ Toyota eventually as #1 auto maker.

    Honestly I'd be glad to see the united Auto workers companies go bankrupt. Can't stand ICE auto dealers, car models being replaced so often, the terrible software in cars that's never updated.

    Have a hundred complaints about Tesla too, but prefer them to everything else right now by quite a bit. I've always been a car guy. Hopefully in a number of years new companies catch up.

    All those Tesla owners were happy to pocket the profits when used prices blew up a year ago and exceeded what many paid when new. I don't remember any customers offering to pay Tesla extra for having previously sold them a car that was later worth much more.

    I have read some stupid shit before, but this has got to be one of the stupidest things I have ever read. Does this woman tweet this same thing to Walmart each time milk changes prices too? What a dumb ass!

    The only time id do it is if it made sure Elon didn't see a dollar of it.

    Tesla had to find a way to cut costs for discounting the price of the car by $10k, guess their chosen method was removing the bolts for the steering wheel to the steering column.
