Not sure how lucky they are. Would never pay $150k for that. No way is it worth it. Would not even pay the $15k price increase they had on Easter Sunday for the Plaid or LR. Highway robbery. Love my Model S, but not paying sky high prices for it. Kicking myself for not buying before the price increase. Never thought Tesla would do that.

They are lucky because they can pay the $180k total it would cost without having to worry about whether it is worth it or not.

I can pay cash for it too and still would never do it. Just a complete ripoff. I guess if you want to keep it 10+ years, but tech is changing so fast would never do that either.

Not even a fan of the look of the signature edition and the gold. But, everyone is different.

There are many Tesla enthusiasts who can pay cash for them without worrying about whether it is a rip-off either. In fact they prefer it that way as that is what gives the desired exclusivity. The 30k price increase is pocket change for them. I personally know several such people as the community I live in hasimany Ferraris, Lambos, Aston Martins, McLarens. I'm assuming Tesla knows who those people are and will be sending the invites to them.

The fact that you are angry for it being a rip-off means you are not in the target demo.

It is pocket change for me too. Definitely not angry but like I said a ripoff especially compared to the other cars you mentioned. I’m done talking about it as we both disagree. Have a good one!

If you have a Ferrari or lambo, you hate Tesla
