Pretty, but $10,000 pretty? |
So I revisited the Tesla website and respec'ed the car. In the process of doing so, I discovered their website already subtracts the $7,500 tax credit from the price, which my spreadsheet also did, so I was subtracting that amount twice.
For documentation, here's the options I'm going with:
- 85 kWh battery
- Dual chargers
- Wall connector
- Tech package
- Smart air suspension
- Parking sensors (for my wife, who routinely hits the concrete stops in front of parking spaces)
- Premium interior lighting
- Parcel shelf
- Leather performance seats
Anything not mentioned will be the standard option.
Using this new configuration and correcting for the tax credit mistake, my new goal amount is $108,743. That will be the figure I use going forward for calculating the Percent Of Goal figure on my goal updates.
In reality, this will probably change again in the future. I'm sure the price will change (hopefully, it will drop after the new battery gigafactory comes online) and the tax credit will go away at some point. And it's entirely possible I will change my mind on the options again. (I'm still unsure about the air suspension. That's a $2,250 option and I suppose I'd have to drive a car with and without it to see which I prefer.) But for now, this is what I'm shooting for.
