Re: Tesla offering insane perks as sales dry up
#13I recently got a letter from the bank that owns my tesla loan, informing me that I can buy the car at the end of the loan. Previously that wasn't an option. Plus, it was for $28k (at the end of a 3 year loan).
Got another letter trying to get me to buy a new 3 with 0% interest for 60 months.
They're definitely under pressure.

#14As someone in the market for a Cybertruck, this doesn't look like desperation to me. These are fairly standard perks. Now a low APR _and_ free FSD, that'd be a serious incentive. That's what I'm waiting for.

It's about the only way to vote against him, since he's an unelected official.

Why wouldn't you - the average person has few ways to influence big players and voting with their dollar is by far the most effective.
I wanted a Tesla for years. I wouldnt consider buying one now.

I've been shopping Ford Mavericks and they have no incentives other than a 3 year lease. They are hot because they are filling a market niche that is in-demand. Incentives are priced accordingly.
Low demand, high incentives. High demand, low incentives.

Even if he wasn't morally reprehensible, the Cybertruck is probably the ugliest and worst built car of all time and the rest of the lineup has a history of major quality issues as well. Meanwhile, the competition has majorly caught up with the lead Tesla blew. In 2025 a Tesla isn't worth buying over any number of other EVs

Classic business owner fantasy:
Owner: I am going to to stiff you and make your life hell.
Customer: I don't care please let me buy your stuff at over-inflated prices. And keep stiffing me while I suffer because of you.

#20Unless he sells the company, I doubt it will survive. I wonder when layoffs will start ? That will really make for very interesting headlines.
If Tesla were to suddenly score a large government contract, that could keep them afloat.
The Postal Service, for example?
Any agency facing DOGE cuts would be motivated to buy Tesla.
