What is really going to get a lot of people screaming is the recent increase in the required average fuel economy just a few years out.
Which very well could be moved out years with the stroke of a pen come 2024 or by the legislative branch even earlier, as in this fall. What is going to have folks screaming is when they get a good dose of where inflation is at in reality, and where food prices are going to be 6 to 8 months from now. Buying a new vehicle will be the last thing on a lot of peoples minds as you can not eat one.
Maybe. But I don’t think it will change the direction manufacturers are going. Most are headed down an EV only path as far as cars, SUV’s and probably half tons.

Market not so impressed. Tesla shares promptly dropped 1.62%..

I zoomed in on it Sam. They wrote your name on the left quarter panel. I’m sure they’ll be sending a delivery notice soon. :).
In other news. Just saw a pic online of one of the newest Superchargers that went in up here. Looks like there are two trailer spots. One on either end. Maybe max 22 to 24 trailer though. Meh. It would work for our combo which is 18 feet They need more pull thrus.- Thanks @Van!

Oh well, there is always next year and I accept Elon Musk's apology for the delay. - Prices right now are heavily influenced by the supply vs demand issue. I recently read that 82% of new vehicle sales are priced over sticker in spite of factory price increases. In normal times I expect at least a 15% discount. Since Tesla sells at sticker price they go ahead and share the true price before you even leave home while the rest ambush you with it after you get to the dealership. If you prefer that go buy from those guys.
Even at the high prices and 60% output increase Tesla is still sold out for months to come. However, when they get caught up I expect to see some big reductions. That is called free market capitalism.
What is really going to get a lot of people screaming is the recent increase in the required average fuel economy just a few years out. I expect Tesla to be selling a bunch of carbon credits after that takes effect. I don't like it but that is the way our current management wants things to happen.
