What? This makes no sense and is totally dependent on the car.

82

Lets just end it here…we clearly aren’t on the same page on anything.

83

Same page, different languages. One is implying a conditional context, the other is explicitly noting the conditional context.

Life is easier as friends, friends.

None of these comments relate to your original claim “if you’re driving a $100,000 car, an extra $10-30K depreciation should be immaterial” or my response to your claim.

85

My wealthy friends…the kinds that drive six-figure cars, really don’t care about $10-30K. They drop that on a weekend ski trip to Aspen. I know others that drop half a million to remodel a bathroom that they remodeled five years earlier! $30K will cover two hours in a Gulfsteam V…maybe.

So, yes, it is immaterial to these buyers. It makes ZERO difference to their lifestyle.

It’s a boatload of money to me, but I’m not dropping 100K on a car.

There are quite a few model S buyers at lower levels of wealth than above. Yes those people don’t care but I don’t think those are really typical model S buyers. Way more common to be lawyer or doctor, tech person making 2-500k/yr in which a 10-30k loss of equity is not nothing.

Average model S buyer is not flying around in private jets

I didn’t say it was nothing.

I said it was immaterial, which according to the dictionary means “of no substantial importance”.

If $10-30K affects your lifestyle, you probably shouldn’t be buying a 100K car.

88

Still zero relevance. You’re using a personal anecdote of some imaginary friends who do not represent the average Model S buyer.

LMAO. This is a little bit of exaggerating, if I have 30k to spend over a weekend, why the heck I would drive a Tesla MS.

Your view of the average driver of a $100k vehicle is skewed

I suspect the data above may be a bit old (based on the sales prices), but if this is true the wealthy gang are into the model X :slight_smile:

:confused: That’s a weird chart :confused:

95

is the income chart for avg income?

96

Man at 110 it seems very attractive and we are not even in the chart
My wife agrees but I would hate to see another price cut :joy:

97

Isn’t Tesla targeting 1.8 million productions in 2023? I would guess further price cuts.

98

The average model x buyer makes 400k+? At that income range there are so many other cars I’d rather have. All the people I know that own a MX are more like the 200-300k range

99

Officially. On paper. :crazy_face::joy:

I’m not sure what the rationale for this was, but I believe it is average income (and is also a few years old so the numbers today may be different). I would have thought S and X were similar, but it appears the wealthiest of the buying pool tend to go for the X.
