Or just taking advantage of gas prices 
Expensive petroleum affects the cost of everything.

Shame on penfed only paying me .55 apr 
I remember when I could have pulled the trigger on a SR Y 7-seater for $43k barely over a year ago. Lol
Jesus this pricing is insane. But the chances of it going back down are 0% (I think?). So theoretically youāre getting some of the hike back via an increase in resale value. I thinkā¦?
If I bought a car, say an X5 via an order which is at MSRP now, the resale value over the next year or two wonāt increase simply because Iām paying a lot for it (vs the 5-8% discount that would come back once the market stabilizes in some time). Hence the Tesla is still the way to go from a resale value POV?
Challenge my logic guys!

Theyāve reduced pricing before in early '21. Iād never say die.
Got my SR MY in early 21 right when they did the decreaseā¦ but since itās been out, I havenāt seen a decrease prior or after.
Wonder if Tesla anticipates EV credits to come back. I donāt see how they can compete with other EVās at this point without that. I was pretty set until the $4K increase happened in a week and I didnāt reserve 
The thing is compete against who? Other automakers are either struggling to get out of the gate or have underwhelming rangeā¦I agree these price hikes are wild, but they do it cause they pretty much can at this point, who knows if itāll last long

They have more demand than they know what to do with right now. In a couple years? Who knows.
Range is irrelevant for the majority of EV drivers.
Most do not travel more than 100 miles a day, let alone 200 plus.
Whenever they release more then the 2 cars they currently have that kind of compete with the model 3 then yea probably at some point
Thereās also a reason gas cars have over 250 range per tank right? Same way each model year for any electric car always adds more range. If it didnāt actually matter then no one would actually care.

After 11 hours since mega-drop, 74 M3 left, but only 9 MY.
MY is clearly still selling well.

After two price increases in a week, folks may be buying in order to get one before the next price increase they fear may be coming. Classic case of fear of inflation leading to actual inflation.

depends where you live. if you are in the heavy cold, a 300 mile range can get close to 100 pretty fast. If they could get it to where a model 3/y/comparable can get 200 miles of true range in any condition, ie heavy cold, then I think weāre in a good spot range wise. We definitely arenāt there though.
If you live in cali, sure.
I wouldnāt bet a red cent on that one.
As for competingā¦Theyāve been competing just fine since 2020 without any federal BEV credit.

CPI will be above 10% before end of year.
PPI just hit record of 10%. Those producer cost will trickle down to consumers. More MSRP increases incoming.
