Upcoming UAW Strike

Ok I don't want to see anyone go broke but the greed of both sides is insane.any I'm sure the public sees this ....very short sighted on both ends .

 

Explain why Tesla is cheaper now! I get your point as well but not always true.

 

Here is the link to what I was talking about on Tesla.

US: Tesla Reduced Model 3/Model Y Prices Again By $2,000-$3,000

US: Tesla Reduced Model 3/Model Y Prices Again By $2,000-$3,000
The Tesla Model 3 RWD starts at $39,990 (+DST), Model Y AWD starts at $46,990 (+DST).
For the second time this month, Tesla applied price reductions on some of its electric cars in the United States, bringing Model 3 and Model Y prices to an even lower level.

According to the company's website, the entry-level Tesla Model 3 RWD is now $2,000 less expensive and starts at $39,990 (down 4.8 percent from $41,990), without including the destination charge and order fee. There is no price change for the Performance version, while the Long Range AWD remains unavailable (but expected to be re-introduced later in 2023).

In the case of the Tesla Model Y, all three versions of the car (AWD with 4680-type battery cells, Long Range AWD and Performance) received a $3,000 price reduction. The Model Y AWD now starts at $46,990 (down 6.0 percent from $49,990), without including the destination charge and order fee.
Here are the changes:

• Tesla Model 3 RWD: $39,990 (-$2,000 or -4.8% from $41,990)
• Tesla Model Y AWD: $46,990 (-$3,000 or -6.0% from $49,990)
• Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD: $49,990 (-$3,000 or -5.7% from $52,990)
• Tesla Model Y Performance: $53,990 (-$3,000 or -5.3% from $56,990)

This is the second price reduction this month and one of many applied so far this year. Let's recall that there was a significant reduction applied across the line in January 2023 (and prices were tweaked a few times later - here, here, here, here, and here).


Some analysts question whether Tesla will be able to maintain its relatively high profit margins now. We guess that this might be answered later today, during the Q1 2023 financial report.

Below we gathered the prices for all Tesla cars.

I thought the Cadillac plant went to California.

 

Tesla currently has the worst reliability record.

 

Many think it’s a crime for anyone to expect decent pay and work with dignity. Much easier to criticize those who do, than demand it for themselves. People fail to realize they can’t build themselves up by tearing someone else down. Much easier to attack others than facing the truth about their own crappy paying jobs with crappy treatment and overall crappy life. They deserve what they get. I doubt the UAW workers really care much about anyone’s opinion. Being a sucker waiting for the Bossman to throw you a bone has never work out well. 40 years of decline in wages, and still many are happy making peanuts. They’ve bought into the idea that they’re worthless. Totally Brainwashed.

 

They have to drop the price for one reason only. Same reason anything doesn’t sell. Price is too high.

 

As explained. The market for Tesla's is fuller than before and if they want to keep selling at the same rate they have to drop the price.
Ie they are now selling at what the market will bear.

 

Depends on which one I guess. Some are made in Lansing at the Grand River facility.
Actually I don't think GM has a California operation anymore (except probably spo stuff (dealer parts) but I could be wrong there.
