Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

This what I'm seeing.

I did think of the whole "after savings" nonsense Tesla do.

But when I did progress to order the after savings price was 38 k on a RWD.

BTW is it normal for Tesla to *not* mention anything re heat pump in the spec and features.

Or am I not looking in the right place....

My god. What a huge drop. I had expected it to be decreasing to 49k in white. Massive hit incoming on second hand market., particular 2021 2022 refresh models. I noticed a few sub40k 2019 sr+ this week too.

Think he will need to change his price reduction line and credit Elon for the next price drop he is going to have to swallow.

Nice one - Tesla have just depreciated our cars by €10k (extra) overnight...

Under 40k after the grant?

Technology should be deflationary, it's only the current money system baked-in inflation that has prices going up year on year.

Luckily we have Elon...

I imagine a lot of people want the SUV CUV shape, and have forgotten how to sit into a saloon car with their 105 year old spines, though I recognise that the EV6 and Ioniq are not high sitting compared to Zoe, LEAF, etc. On the other hand, that confirms that the M3 will soon be like an upmarket Ford Focus circa 2010 as it will be ubiquitous and part of the suburban furniture on every street. I wonder what effect it will have on the mid-market sales. I'll probably want to sell the LEAF e+ quick now to retain capital for a new or a decreased price refresh RWD. Mental to think that a new LR is now the price of the old RWD.

My local credit union does an auto-loan for 3.95% APR, a model 3 now works out at €447p/m with no deposit over 10 years with that offer... It's still too expensive for me personally but there's plenty above me who will fall into the net now and will hopefully trickle down to the lower priced cars further reducing in price

VRT documentation and tyre recycling fees almost make up the 5k, it's €44,370 when all this is taken into account

Hard on any of us who have bought recently, but at least I got in sub €50K last March. But this is going to shake up the whole market, cannot see the excellent trade ins continuing.

But I am just going to continue enjoying my excellent car was too much to expect the excellent depreciation continuing.

I've my car for the long haul anyway, not as an investment, so not too worried about depreciation (in the over inflated market that existed). With this price drop, however, I'm glad that it brings most of the range of M3/MY back under the grant level and can hopefully spur other manufacturers to also compete on price.

I'd say going forward it will be a very difficult job to get a good valuation for Tesla from 2nd hand car dealers. Burnt once etc. etc.

The market will fix itself and as the makers of ICE vehicles will absolutely need to get their houses in order. That 95 g/CO2 emissions average is not going to happen by itself. And now as there are no multipliers in place anymore for the BEVs sold so they absolutely need to start selling electric vehicles. And to do that the volume need to go up and prices will have to come down. I think Tesla has just preempted that with these price cuts and now there must be some sleepless weekends coming for others. Which one would you choose: A Model 3/Y or an eNiro or a LEAF when the price is the same?

Make that €46,198 !!!

Sorry had wrong seats selected...
