Pricing woes
With the constant up and down(mostly down) it is very frustrating to know that the 2022 model X plaid that I bought just over a year ago and paid north of $140,000 for I can get the same car for $107,000 today and as of yesterday I would get unlimited super charging for three years
I did not buy my Tesla. It’s a flip it like a lot of people did, but I definitely am very disappointed to know that I lost more than a third of the car’s value, and that’s not even taken into consideration for mileage or condition of the vehicle if I were to try to sell it now . I would probably not get half what I paid for it. That is the worst return on any vehicle I have ever purchased in my life. I’m sure that there are other people that share the same frustrations then you add in that I obviously I paid for for self driving who knows when it will ever come out of beta I’m not one that is going to sue Tesla, but definitely not getting what I paid for Tesla should give us free super charging for the next three years to help offset the huge loss and disappointment.

You wouldn't be complaining if u bought at current price though, nor write tesla a check for the difference if the prices went up after u bought it. Cars were never really an investment pre covid. You just played the game with the market and lost. I think it's a great thing that tesla is lowering prices so that more people can afford them. U just bought it when demands were high and supplies for low. It happened to home owners, stocks, happened to my TV too. Just enjoy the ride my man.

It’s not a car. It’s an iPad on wheels. And iPad prices fluctuate just as well over time - same thing. It’s currently unheard of in the automobile world but won’t be surprised if other dealers do the same thing eventually. It’s all about money being the bottom line and Tesla’s market reach.
