Tesla dropped Price, Others to follow?

[BabaMike]

Looks like a rocky road ahead with car prices. Are we confident with making big purchase of R and ADM ? (20K for me)
I’m excited for my R being built soon but making me think for sure.

Tesla has other issues. Heck they dropped their prices 30% in China overnight.

That doesn't equate to an R and you know that. Ford isn't in the game of dropping prices...and sure don't need to when they can't keep Raptors of any flavor on the lot...much less an R.

It's called a recession...it's here, it's coming--whatever flavor you prefer. Will that slow car buying down? Yes. Will it impact the top end of the market with people who have money to burn no matter the economic state, probably not.

This is why I only would order one if I could get it at MSRP. Even then, there's exposure to risk, but it's far reduced in comparison to any ADM.

The R seems like it will be somewhat limited in production if we have the current Gen 3 Raptor delivery flows to go off of - but that could change at any time.

Its interesting hearing this...

Vehicles are liabilities. I can't measure a thing in the eco that involves a liability.

all electric cars are going to sink in price.

If you wake up tomorrow and loose $30k, does it change your life? If so, then reconsider. But I would assume it doesn’t.

As @GTTXRAP said, Tesla and others are not a good litmus test for valuing the R. We have been waiting for this truck since the Gen 1 was discontinued in 14. The limited production coupled with everyone knowing that is the greatest production truck ever built, the numbers for these trucks will be stupid.

If a 70-mile 9 year old truck sold for $81.5k. What do you think an R is going to sell for?

Gov will mandate electric...

or get fined for polluting the air....

yeah probably. but... theyll also make them cheaper so people take the bait instead of nibble. more of what I was trying to say.

The key is no ADM
MSRP yes no brainer in any market for these trucks.
Specially if Ford is only making MY 2023 and that’s it.

If this is the case then perhaps adm also worth it.
