Tesla Price Drop

Tesla recently lowered their prices on the Model S and Model X. The new price for a Model X Plaid is “only” $90k. I was contemplating a purchase at $110k so it looks like Tesla dropped prices by about $20k. I do not really need a second car, although having an SUV would be handy for moving things and carrying more passengers. However, the Model X Plaid only seats six as the second-row seats are split. I could also just borrow my sister’s Acura MDX if I need more cargo capacity. The main reason I would get the Model X Plaid is for the ridiculous acceleration. I would get the Model S Plaid, but I already have an old Model S with terrible range. I want to keep the old Model S for road trips since it has legacy free Supercharging.

The other option is a manual two-seater like a Mazda Miata or the new Nissan Z.

I believe if I refer myself or purchase it though the app while logged in on my account, I will get a $500 discount. This sounds cool until you remember Tesla does not include a charger with a new car anymore. When I purchased my old Model S, I received a high-power mobile charger. Now the only option is a lower power mobile charger, and you must pay $230 for it and probably more for a SAE J1772 adapter.
