The rest of the world?I would have guessed those that were waiting for the $7500 tax credit jumped already. Wonder what type of buyer is now left.

If you config a 2025 as close as you can to an FS, the price is basically the same, I estimate lifetime connectivity at $1000. So a 2025 isn't cheaper as apples to apples. Now if you spec it any way down, it becomes a better option. If I were to build my own now it would be without Cyberwheels or FSD and be 10k+ less. Replaced the wheels already and FSD isn't something I use as mine barely leave 5 square miles of my house.If it's cheaper to buy a new 2025 version, why would anyone purchase a discounted 2024 even if it less expensive than before especially since it doesn't qualify for the $7500 tax credit?

I bought a Model S LR and a Model Y at the height, lost over $50K in 6 months and that’s just from MSRP to MSRP that doesn’t count depreciation for being used.Early plaid buyers may have gotten the rawist deal in the history of automotive sales. Absolutely brutal!
If you had bought a plaid in November ‘22 and had FSD you would have paid close to $60,000 more than I paid for mine in September ‘23 when they gave the “one time only” option to transfer FSD which I did from my ‘21 M3P.
I guess, Fiker Ocean buyers got F’d harder.

Here’s the whole sordid tale for anyone who wasn’t following this at the time:
My Build Details:
• Full‑Spec Model S Plaid with 21″ Arachnid Wheels and Black & White Premium Interior
Price Timeline for This Exact Spec (Vehicle + FSD):
1. November 2022:
• Vehicle Cost: $143,130
• FSD: $15,000
• Total: $143,130 + $15,000 = $158,130
2. January 2023:
• Vehicle Cost: $122,130
• FSD: $15,000
• Total: $122,130 + $15,000 = $137,130
3. March 2023:
• Vehicle Cost: $117,130
• FSD: $15,000
• Total: $117,130 + $15,000 = $132,130
4. April 2023:
• Vehicle Cost: $104,990 (base) + $7,140 = $112,130
• FSD: $15,000
• Total: $112,130 + $15,000 = $127,130
5. May 20, 2023:
• Vehicle Cost: $102,130
• FSD: $7,000 (major price cut)
• Total: $102,130 + $7,000 = $109,130
6. September 2023 (w/ transferable FSD):
• Vehicle Cost: $97,130
• FSD: $0
• Total: $97,130
TL/DR: A buyer in Nov. 2022 would have paid about $158,130 for my spec by September 2023, (even with FSD available for purchase at $7,000), the cost would have been roughly $104,130. But transferable FSD reduced the total cost to $97,130 a $60,000 haircut in less than a year!!!

That is a very small percentage. I've seen youtube vids and articles on exports and additional cost to make it compatible with local laws. With no Tesla Service Center support and a new vehicle with a lot of bugs still that is a nightmare. See service bulletins and problems on this site.The rest of the world?
Wow. 3 rows of them as they went down and up the next lane over.Interesting tour of the parking lot at the San Antonio Airport Blvd SC, posted earlier today.
The first year of manufacture of any auto is at risk for price changes and quality issues, The price you pay for being an early adopter. I'm still happy to get mine in 2024.Welp. There you go boys, we’re all down 7K - minimum.
I would venture to say that 2024 CT inventory nationwide is in the thousands. My brother in FL claims his SC has over 50 CT’s collecting dust on the lot.I am not so sure about that, I’ve been to Fayetteville and Savannah GA and between the 2 locations they have over 100. Kennesaw GA has around 30. Georgia alone has hundreds.
Troy Teslike is an independent analyst who tracks Tesla production and sales. Most of his analysis is paywalled. However, he made a public post in mid-December 2024, which estimated that there were over 9,000 unsold 2024 Cybertrucks in Tesla inventory.I would venture to say that 2024 CT inventory nationwide is in the thousands.
For that 7k we got to feel like celebrities for close to a year. I have never before and never will again have:Welp. There you go boys, we’re all down 7K - minimum.
