Ah man..... See this is why I dont need to be in this thread lol. I also remember that thread I was in there talking about getting a Tesla back then...
You have the SUV hybrid or the Car?
Tesla Models S and Y drop price by $10,000 Again.
- Thread starter jagu
- Start date
You have the SUV hybrid or the Car?
The full EV sedan. A loaded Taycan 4S with 5 year Porsche warranty. This is my first time without a bmw in 28 years.
I actually recall that thread you was def a hardliner. Thats dope man. I feel like maybe I shouldn't even think about going to the Porsche dealership.... But Im gonna go anyway lol. Did you contemplate going hybrid? What pushed you to go all EV?
I had been looking at Porsches EVs but not seriously. Then I rented one from Turo and really loved the idea of charging my car in my garage and never having to buy gas again, considering that I drive 76 miles a day. So, I saw a nice one year old CPO in June but price was high. They kept dropping the price and took it off the ad and I thought it had been sold. Then it reappears again at a much lower price and I bought it on the spot. They sweetened the deal by giving me an extra year warranty for just $1500 more thus making it a 5 year unlimited mileage Porsche warranty. I trucked it down from Boston at my expense but it was ok.
‘I sold my bmw 750 to the first guy that came to look at it at my full asking price. That’s why I always buy only loaded used cars with every almost option .

Congrats to my Brotha Jagu lol I’m in shock honestly but Porsche is always the progression from BMW. I want that Audi E Tron GT
If I’m not mistaken the US is less than 8% of the EV market. You do realize that China owns 60% of the EV market. They’re expecting 9 million EVs to be sold in China this year. And what percentage of that do you think Toyota, General Motors, Ford, and Lucid have?

Thank you sir. I really thought about the Audi and it is super nice. It’s basically the Porsche for less price but I had always been curious about Porsches so I decided to go that way. So far I like it and it is basically a 911 with 4 doors but slightly heavier. I got the performance package with Porsche torque vectoring , 4 wheel steering, and dynamic chassis control, head up display, thermal insulated glass, premium package with Bose stereo and a whole lot of stuff. Sticker price was $147k got it for less than 60% of that with only 12k miles and it’s a 2022. I was shocked that it was still available for sale when I called for it.
The thing has two modes, go and stop, no middle mode lol. And let me tell you, the attention that it gets is almost like you’re driving a Ferrari Or some shit like that.
I was interested in the Tesla S too and I really thought about it but I can’t do vegan leather interior.
Yep. I told y'all the japanese would wait and watch and drop a reliable EV at half the cost of tesla. The other makers are doing exactly what their DNA says - germans are making lux performance and Italians are making gorgeous coaches, Americans are making gaudy-looking shit that will fall apart in 2 years.
When will people remember that conman musk has NOTHING to do with the technical aspects of tesla?
Look at these stats.

I don’t follow him that hard , I’m just interested in his stocks.
Yes I heard but I took advantage of his shit. I sold some of his stocks to buy a Porsche. Lol.
I still kick myself for not selling it 4 years ago.
This is all for naught,If you are looking to by aTesla, they are going for a bargain these days. The model S is a car bargain for a performance EV car.
TESLA
The price of new Teslas has been up and down and moving all around. Over the past year or so, the company has adjusted the cost of its four models myriad times, and now the Model S and Model X can be had for $10,000 less than last week following the introduction of new Standard Range models.
- The Tesla Model S and Model X's base prices have dropped by $10,000 due to new Standard Range models.
- The Model S now starts at $79,880, but its EPA-estimated range is 320 miles compared with the pricier 405-mile model.
- The Model X now starts at $89,880, but its EPA-estimated range is 269 miles versus the more expensive version, which has a 348-mile estimate.
Tesla Model S and Model X Base Prices Drop Once Again
The short-lived short-range Model S and Model X are gone, but long-range versions now start even lower at $76,380 and $81,380, respectively.www.caranddriver.com
Rivian, Lucid, Ford, Toyota, Polestar .....etc
Got their knees on Tesla's neck.
The supercharger network is currently the only advantage Tesla has over the others......
The Model S has been damn near the same car for 20 years, no vast improvements in range, exterior nor interior design.....
So now they drop the low end price by $10K?!!

What’s funny? I’m self employed and very good at what I do. Do you think I’ve been sitting down on my ass for the past 22 years since I’ve been in practice? I bought a more expensive car in cash.80k being a bargain? Nigga how much you make

The lucid pure is getting great reviews, has better range and a fresh design....... Tesla now has to compete and I doubt Elon is really focused on it
......
Spending $X millions to retool factories and update the designs
.....
He's got his hands full turning X into a raging dumpster fire
I would avoid Teslas like the plague at the moment.
So the reason you're seeing a lot of these price drops is because Tesla is now having to compete with actual car makers putting EV cars out on the market. The one thing that Ford and BMW and a lot of these other car makers know how to do is to make a quality car. If you look Tesla cars always have problems when it comes to the fit and finish. Crooked doors, squeaky dash,sunroof that leak, Tesla has always had these problems. And now it's been coming out how Tesla has been pushing people to not bring in their car for servicing because people thought they had a bad battery but what it really was was Tesla has been lying about the battery range in their cars for years. Between that and the fact that you had to sign an NDA to get your car repaired at Tesla tells you that they've been hiding a lot of the problems with that car.
Also all the racism at the Tesla plants there's no way I could give my money to a company that knew about that happening and let it continue.

Tesla's Non-Disclosure Agreements About Defects are "Unacceptable," Say Feds
A letter Tesla sent a customer raised a red flag -- after the letter was made public.

Tesla’s secret team to suppress thousands of driving range complaints
About a decade ago, Tesla rigged the dashboard readouts in its electric cars to provide “rosy” projections of how far owners can drive before needing to recharge, a source told Reuters.
Yep. Its a company that embodied that moron Elon and thought its shit didn't stink. Now all the info coming out about the cars being badly built AND Tesla has been faking their milage numbers is a real problem.
That’s why I sold some of my Tesla stocks to buy the Porsche. I wish I had sold them all 4 years ago, but I’m still good now.
‘Their cars are still good buys though, if you want an EV.
Elon Musk just lost $28 billion as Tesla took a beating. Now Toyota says ‘people are waking up to reality’ that EV adoption will be an uphill battle
"We’re transitioning to a brand new technology. It’s expensive. It requires people to have a different relationship with their vehicle that has been largely unchanged for decades," one expert said.

Competition is killing Tesla. It used to be the Gold standard for EV cars for years.
The competition is doing as well or in a lot cases, better than Tesla ever did.
Tesla charges a price premium with shit build quality.
Now some customers are losing their asses after that big ass price drop. Their brand new 130K Plaid is now only worth 90-100K!!!

I think they appeal moslty to affluent people. In the upper middle class areas where I live it is all Teslas. I think the average person either live in a apartment or cant afford to install the charger at their house so their only option would be to go sit in a parking lot for 30 minutes just to charge the car. Aint nobody got time for that.Competition is killing Tesla. It used to be the Gold standard for EV cars for years.

Im a big Tesla hater, but the fact remains that I see more and more of their cars on the road. Their charging network, FSD tech and soon AI will keep them relevant for years. I want to get hyped about other car makers taking market share, but they will all be in bed with and licensing tech from Tesla.

Yeah driving around it looks like they're giving away the Model 3's for free.
Yea makes sense. Personally not for me (just don't like the look of em, and out of my price range anyway I ain't gonna lie), but I also truly don't know how they're ever gonna make the FSD work in the real world. Not just them but auto makers in general. Liability-wise, I think insurers are going to charge both arms AND legs to cover that shit. Not to mention getting that past regulators.
Might be the old-schooler in me, but I wouldn't want to be on the road with a bunch of heat seeking missles tambout "Sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that" coz of some software glitch. I know humans are just as prone to disaster, but again they gonna have to REALLY convince folks that tech is trustworthy and sound. And that they aren't just selling a fairytale.
Time to cop some more TSLA. I’m trying tell y’all get out your feelings and look at the fundamentals of Tesla. The semi hasn’t hit full steam yet, the Cyber Truck is dropping next month and every major automaker is switching to Tesla charging standard aka supercharger business is about to be booming. Next year will be shitty in the stock market in general. Time to buy what’s on sale 2008 2.0 is coming.Elon Musk just lost $28 billion as Tesla took a beating.
