Hardware is overrated
It’s really looking to me that Elon knows fully well Tesla is here for a good time, not a long time and all these moves are simply cost cutting to increase profit margins while making the vehicles worse for it. The 100% camera based system has no chance of ever outperforming proper systems that use both video and sensors. It’s the only vehicle with adaptive cruise control I have owned that phantom brakes and I had a Subaru with their old eyesight and it never even did that.
Sticking exclusively to the visible spectrum does seem awfully myopic

In mid-2022, Model Y Performance rear calipers were quietly changed from being upgraded Brembo units to being the same as the normal Model Y LR calipers, plus a bolt-on caliper cover to make them look bigger. So now the entire Performance brake package is exactly the same as the LR, just painted red.

haha, cost savings to pay for twitter.
and I was so close to buying one of these garbage dumps.
All manufacturers do this. It's funny how much people pay attention when Tesla does this.
I'll call them garbage dumps too. Doesn't change the facts on the ground.
Looks like Tesla has now moved discounts into Canada. Up to 21% off.
This not only puts pressure on EV competitors but will also have a significant impact on used Tesla prices.

I strongly support lower priced EV's.
i strongly do not support fucking gov't incentives for cars.
fuck sake.
Oh wow I didn't read that they just dropped the price barely enough to qualify for the incentive. Probably smart, but yeah I don't think gov't needs to be in the business of subsidizing vehicle purchases.
Bottom has fallen out of the market.
G-Wagons will be $100K soon instead of $300K and 911s should be in the $50K range. lol I've got my cash ready.
Guy who paid $85K last month for Model Y LR because of year end $5K discount.

It looks like deliveries are almost immediate and the prices are actually reasonable again. Hopefully this bodes well for EV car prices overall. I don't really have an interest in getting back into a Tesla, but I am glad for the experience I had with it. By far the most tempting thing with Tesla is the smooth experience through the ordering process. I tried to price out an i4, but the BMW website and dealer websites are garbage.
