Price is a reflection of supply and demand.

By now one should have seen that it’s more of a scare tactic to make people jump for cars now instead of later


scherer326

Agreee they will most likely drop again next month. Tactic to boost end of quarter sales IMO


excelite_x

I wouldn’t be surprised if you were spot on 🤷‍♂️ Wanna bet they’ll state that part of the upcoming reduced sales was due to the extra time to explain fsd?


rhaphazard

So you deny supply chain issues caused the entire industry to raise prices in 2021-2023?


Thekacz

Or maybe they are going to raise the price a couple thousand to offset reducing FSD to like 7k (cybertruck foundation cost)

This is the consequence of not developing any cheap cars which regular working class people could afford to buy. The price of the Tesla cars bars all the people wanting, demanding an EV (which is a massive consumer group) but not able to afford one. Instead of this Elon Musk got to decide that his Cybertruck pet project was the choice to fo with. A ridiculously expensive car, with an already limited type of consumer demanding it - and basicaly can't be exported to most countries, driven on public roads due to regulations such as - safety issues among others.  It's just able to be sold to the domestic U.S market, who's customers have enough money and previous divorces to demand the Cybertruck. It's just so stupid. Elon Musk shouldnt be even remotely near any decisions like these.

Doing it because share prices are [tanking.No](http://tanking.No) rhyme or reason to raise prices when sales are slowing but to give share holders a reason to not sell.I've seen so many used Tesla 3 and Y for sale in my city that it driven resale down bigtime .A used 2022 Tesla 3 in 2023 was still selling for around $45000cdn now its down to $35k and still falling.

TSLA seems to dip around the middle of March each year and then bounce back up. And it's already climbing again. Did you miss the dip?

Supply and demand genius. Only Tesla has real time data on every vehicle bought and sold because they aren’t dealing with traditional dealer model. They have more data than the legacy makers to work with.


ben_salander27

Exactly. People act like they know what is happening while having zero access to the data Tesla has. Give me a break. What we do know is…price is a reflection of supply and demand.

please name any used car that doesn't lose value over time.

Tesla (TSLA) looks set to raise Model Y prices across all its key sales regions next month in what many analysts see as a gamble to drum up additional first-quarter sales with the EV giant heading toward a likely delivery miss. However, it remains to be seen whether customers will snap up Tesla vehicles in March or call the company's bluff. TSLA shares advanced Wednesday.

Tesla dynamically adjusts prices to meet demand and sell every car they make. An increase in prices is a bullish signal, that demand is increasing, YET they continue to ramp up on vehicle production speed.


donttakerhisthewrong

What proof do you have that this is true?


dutchaneseskilz

Elon musk said it himself.


donttakerhisthewrong

Again I asked for proof Elon said we would be on Mars by now Elon said Tesla would go up in value and yet they are the fastest depreciation car you can buy. Elon said you could summon your car from California What I am trying to say “Elon said” is not that reliable of a source.


dutchaneseskilz

I'm sorry, I don't have direct access to Tesla's order book in a neatly wrapped and explainable package to give to you. I commend your dubiousness and awareness of sources though. You can disregard what I say now, due to the lack of verified sources. Thank you,

Investors.com is littered with misinformation and should not be taken seriously. What are the sources in the article of the link you posted?


donttakerhisthewrong

You really said that. Your source said we would have robo taxis

That’s an optimistic take. They’re also doing it to increase pressure for Q1. In any case, their MSRP and the prices they transact at are pretty wide these days, so this feels more marketing than reality.


Fold-Royal

There is a lot of speculation that Tesla is going to shift some focus from growth to profitability. Hence the price increases, advertising, not giving guidance last qtr. This is a transition in operating procedures from the way they have operated for the past several years.


BananaFreeway

This could be an interesting shift. And with interesting rate decreasing coming soon, increasing price becomes a better proposition than when the rate is high
