Buggrit, Across the Board Tesla Price Increases

[Ogre]

Buggrit, millennium hand and shrimp







That kind of tears it for me. I’ve been a long holdout, but now I’m reindexing my expectations for Dual Motor Cybertruck to the Model Y AWD at this point. If that happens, the only way I’m getting the CT3 is if I hit the TSLA Jackpot (we beat the previous ATH before my truck is delivered).

Hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised.

Quietly slowing demand or capitalizing on the gas increase triggering an EV purchase spike?

Musk just made a comment about Tesla being under significant inflationary pressure.

My thinking here is they just pushed through the 2 new versions of the Model Y so they could release a lower cost version of the Model Y. Good chance that even though demand has been strong that this last change is going to start to take it’s toll on buyers. We’ve gone up 13,000 in 13 months on the Model Y.

That is Nutso.

RJ Scaringe is probably looking at Tesla price bumps on Twitter and screaming.

They blundered their pricing swap so badly now they are bent over a barrel.

one method of conditioning the base an increase is justified. Another is sending Tesla employees here to sayTesla needs to raise the CT price.

(while I am pretending to be irrational, there were no surprises)

I will be running through through GigaTexas taking ALL pens from every desk I see. I will also arrange a pool for charity to predict how far and how many pens I will liberate before being tackled.

(I really would do this if they knew this was for fun, I would not get arrested, and done in a state with one or two firearms)

yes, as the stock goes down the prices got up.....along with gas.....I think I ma going to say goodbye to the CT......we still dont know what the price will be

You know I’ve held onto hope about the price for a long time. It’s still there… a flickering little ember.

But I’d prefer any future surprises regarding price be pleasant ones.

My theory is that if I can’t afford the Cybertruck when my number gets tapped, my Model Y will have appreciated enough I can trade it in and the equity in my MY will be enough to make up the difference.

The crazy thing is with the number of people who have bought a Model Y to hold them over until the Cybertruck launches I might not be alone.

thats true....my MS is a 2020 FSD, free life time supercharging and premium.....it will be interesting to see what I could get and maybe I will proceed

Why not wait until we know the price to make a decision?

The idea of using a car as an appreciating asset to hedge against inflation is… just bonkers but here we are.

but in today's reality, that's what we are seeing

Also… just noticed your comment on the stock price.

Keep in mind these price increases are incredibly BULLISH for the stock. It demonstrates Tesla‘s pricing power. In general I think Tesla is in a really good position here stock wise.
