I can empathize with the anger over a price reduction when you just bought a product. I bought a truck and a month later, the dealership had an additional 5k in rebates. Same happens when you buy an expensive tv, and a couple months later, the price drops by 1-2k. Technology products are constantly becoming cheaper through innovation and to satisfy supply/demand economics.. why is a tesla any different? If you bought a tesla for resale value, you are doing it wrong. Buying a tesla helps the environment, furthers innovation, and provides a status symbol. |

It isn't as if the $35k model 3 is a surprise.
If you're willing to wait, tech things tend to get cheaper over time, should I be annoyed that had I waited instead of getting a 486 with 8mb ram, I could have got something orders of magnitude faster, for an order of magnitude less?
These people for what ever reason didn't want to wait, they paid more, in return they got some extra months/years of use of a more exclusive machine.
That's the early adopter deal.
Plus as you say, if you bought a tesla for resale value, you are doing it wrong.
