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

Telsa has an extremely lean "just in time" business and manufacturing model. They don't pile up inventory hoping for sales.

Compared to traditional manufacturing, sure. They obviously stock piled FS and non-FS CTs and are struggling to move them now. There's probably a few hundred, not thousands like traditional companies can have.

It’s like a reverse pyramid scheme. Last buyer wins.

You spelled “desperate” wrong.

You guys are quick to forget, a lot of us in the foundation series got installer credit paid for and the hardware for power share. That is $6,500 right there.

I was an early plaid Buyer, I paid a lot more and got nothing in return. At least with the cyber we got a lot of accessories and equipment and now they did the price cut and it does not include that stuff. You can have some crappy plastic vinyl wrap.

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’s okay, I keep it for a long time And most of us are shareholders so we did okay ?

If someone can score the Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit, this is a deal.

Yes but with the extra FSD transfer still unbeatable ?. Thats the best deal Tesla will ever offer!

Correct. And just to be clear, Tesla doesn't "discount" either. Elon has spelled this out in plain language:

"There can never -- and I mean never -- be a discount on a new car coming out of the factory in pristine condition".

The idiot who started this thread gave it the title "New Discounts on 2024 Cybertrucks". Well, that is simply wrong. No discounts are involved -- only price reductions.

Seems like a distinction without meaning?

Exactly that is one of their huge competitive advantages with profitability. That’s why I laugh when others say Ford Dealerships are full of F-150’s, what’s the big deal. The big deal is that is how Ford does business and that is not the model that Tesla wants any part of. That’s why they will keep pulling levers until this dead inventory is sold. The new Y will offset some of the costs is my guess.

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.

It's meaningful to Elon. He hates "discounts", but is OK with "price reductions".
