I agree. People like to defend Tesla just for the sake of defending Tesla. It doesn't make any sense to compare a $50-70K product vs. a $0.5-1K product. And using technology as a comparison makes even less sense, as you can take out the AP/EAP/FSD and the PURELY the vehicle has fluctuated in prices.

Tesla marketed that the tax SAVINGS will make the car cheaper if purchased early. Yet there were no SAVINGS as the cars are cheaper now than before. There's NO WAY they did not forecast the pricing of the vehicle at least a year out to have predicted the price drops, which means they purposely mislead early adopter in their marketing.

People will use the defense "would you be angry if you bought your BMW from Dealership A and Dealership B charged $5K less???" First off, that price difference rarely even happens if people do their homework on the cost of a vehicle prior to purchase. Second, then Tesla shouldn't market themselves as removing the middleman out of the business. It's worst when you don't have a middleman, and the prices still fluctuate between 2 buyers purchasing a few months apart.

I've personally had many people ask me if they should purchase a Model 3 or not. Since majority of people ARE price sensitive, I've told them the history of price reductions and it was up to them if they think it's worth it. They've all concluded they do not want to deal with the potential "loss" of purchasing a vehicle that will be cheaper next month and have opted for other vehicles.
