Ok. Finally did the research. Tesla cars are built within a quarter and shipped about a month or 2 after. The price drop in ordering for 2023 models began in the last quarter of 2022.

Now, my original statement stands. What in the manufacturing process makes them cheaper?

Edit: idc if you're in favor or opposed to electric vehicles. I'm asking for the sake of manufacturing and consumer product concerning safety.

I’ve owned three Teslas lol, you could have taken my word. As soon as you get a VIN number you’re about a week or so from delivery. Anyway, they raised the cost during COVID to slow down demand (which didn’t work), so the cars are now back to pre-COVID prices.

They also dropped the Ultrasonic Sensors, but that was like $100 savings per car.

Thanks yo.

Last edit: That whole thing about saying something confidently wrong actually works. You are loved, friend.
