“@dennishegstad @Tesla Other automakers change prices constantly & substantially by varying rebates & discounts according to negotiating strength of buyer. Tesla is transparent & consistent.”
“@dirtnapdragon @Tesla So if we raise prices in the future, will you cut Tesla a check? Can’t have it both ways.”
“@andrewmackenzie Every car company is constantly changing prices, but nobody cares”
“To be clear, this doesn’t affect Tesla website order prices. Existing inventory prices are currently slightly lower than on website. This will bring them in line.”
“Please note prices on all Tesla inventory cars worldwide rise by ~3% on April 1”
“Reminder to buy our S3XY cars before midnight on Monday! Prices rise slightly worldwide on Tuesday. You can order online at https://t.co/46TXqRrsdr. http://Tesla.com”
“@DirkSmit76 Our “list” prices are our actual prices. Software (and automotive) vary prices frequently by changing the discount or rebate.”
“@FredericLambert @jeffborden_cga @marc_benton @MrTommyCampbell @Tesla In retrospect, lower price shouldn’t have been offered. Was done so because some simply couldn’t afford it. Prices revert to normal on Monday.”
“@johnny0129 We are still closing stores, just not as many as before. This basically splits the difference — about half as many stores closed, but then can afford only about half the price reduction. Was discussed with exec team & board.”
“@jeffborden_cga @marc_benton @MrTommyCampbell @Tesla When prices go down, those who already bought want the lower price, but, if prices go up, those who already bought don’t want to write Tesla a check. So it goes.”
“@marc_benton @MrTommyCampbell Those prices will revert to normal on Monday too”
“Tesla car prices go up ~3% next week, except for $35k Model 3. Order online at https://t.co/46TXqRrsdr before then for current prices. http://Tesla.com”
“Detailed specs & pricing will be provided, as well as test rides in Y”
“If you bought a Tesla before yesterday’s price reduction, you can have Autopilot or full self-driving at half normal cost (up to $6k less)”
“@notNahuel @SnazzyQ Exactly. Both prices are shown right next to each other & lower price is *actually* the real apples to apples cost vs a fuel car. In fact, for many states in the US, it’s way better.”
“@Paulojvn Which country? There is a 10% import duty, ~20% VAT (US prices don’t include sales tax) and about $2000 in extra shipping cost, but it shouldn’t add up to $25k.”
“@vincent13031925 @Teslarati @panasonic To clarify further, the long-term goal for Tesla mass market products is local production for local markets (at least at the continent level). This is critical to make pricing as affordable as possible.”
“@dennishegstad It’s kind of like the post office. Same price for delivery to Maine as the SF Bay Area. But you do get a free Tesla factory tour, which is really fun to see.”
“By revenue, taking publicly available selling prices, Model 3 actually outsold Camry by a factor of two https://t.co/1ZTDk8HvJh https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-10-03/tesla-s-model-3-is-becoming-one-of-america-s-best-selling-sedans”
“Moving 2 of 7 Tesla colors off menu on Wednesday to simplify manufacturing. Obsidian Black & Metallic Silver will still be available as special request, but at higher price.”
“@Gubisoul @monongahelaEX @AntVenom That is why it is critical to support competition. Excess profits draw in competitors who then drive down prices.”
“@G_Whitehead5 @DMC_Ryan @Model3Owners @Tesla Yes, AWD P first and then AWD. Production costs are always high when line first gets going, so we have to sell higher price versions first or each car will have very negative margins. As production efficiency rises, we can make lower cost versions & not lose money.”
“@plot_qasc It’s only slightly more expensive to Tesla (same price to car owners), but owner happiness is way higher, so worth doing”
“The Swiss police are smart. Electricity vs diesel & maintenance more than make up for purchase price diff. Plus, the bad guys will def not escape. That’s worth a lot … https://t.co/fE6zmM8C3F https://apple.news/Aefkre1PBRaKYSF7SDBZ8iQ”
“@ElectrekCo @TeslaRoadTrip Am feeling optimistic about beating the Semi specs announced at the unveiling for the same price. The Tesla Semi will be something really special.”
“@ismailnathij @stapf @Tesla Tesla always charges the same price for a Powerwall (only taxes & shipping costs vary), so something is messed up here. I've asked my team to stop shipment to any installers charging excessive premiums.”
“@YasserHZain @verge Homes on Jupiter with solar-power *and* a Powerwall going right now for great price!”
“@skynetcomputer Yeah, it's better than a Model 3. We can put a lot more in a car at a higher price.”
“@NickHOrford $US price in $AUD plus import duties and sales tax”
“@yoda It's who is first to pay full price for the car. Hard rule. I have first Roadster and X, but not first S.”
“@ForIn2020 @waltmossberg @mims @defcon_5 Exactly. Tesla is absurdly overvalued if based on the past, but that's irrelevant. A stock price represents risk-adjusted future cash flows.”
“@5AllanLeVito @mcannonbrookes @VGroysman Sure. Just check out my prior tweet on pricing ($250 kWh at pack level). Website will be updated soon, so there is complete transparency.”
“@mcannonbrookes $250/kWh at the pack level for 100MWh+ systems. Tesla is moving to fixed and open pricing and terms for all products.”
“@HendrikStruik The 100D price takes into account exchange rate shifts, whereas other vehicle prices haven't yet been adjusted”
“@GoodDayM Something messed up here. Tesla policy is equal pricing for all. No discounts ever unless a car is a floor model or was damaged.”
“@alansmurray If you care about auto deaths as material to stock prices, why no articles about 1M+/year deaths from other auto companies?”
“Model 3 orders at 180,000 in 24 hours. Selling price w avg option mix prob $42k, so ~$7.5B in a day. Future of electric cars looking bright!”
“Btw, price of Model X is actually only $5k more than S. Lower cost versions coming later.”
“@elonmusk $35k price, unveil in March, preorders start then.”
“Waited to say something until after we fixed some of the options pricing (too high) and colors (too many similar)”
“Also, lease price improvement is due to US Bank deal. It is *not* a discount. Revenue to Tesla is unchanged.”
“Tesla policy is to charge the same price (+ taxes & shipping) everywhere in the world http://t.co/cXOtokcBeG http://teslamotors.com/blog/fair-price”
“@lougil_ace Taking action. Will be a 7 day grace period for $2500 ext warranty. Neg margin at that price, so must unfortunately raise.”
“Am not suggesting shutting down CO2 production, but rather to price in environmental cost & shift to sustainable energy”
“@andrewliebchen @_chrissimmons Exactly. Then no need for clean energy subsidies, as externality is priced into mkt behavior”
