I have a base model y on order for Aug-Sept delivery, if a Model Y RWD Premium from Shanghai makes its way here before then for a similar price, it would a be a no brainer to switch. With the recent launch of the Model 3 RWD Premium for $40k, it seems more likely no?
With rampocalypse and now the massive impact of the Iran war on helium supply (key ingredient in semiconductors), this hobby is cooked for the foreseeable future. Between downgrades, price hikes and outright cancellations, you’re going to see a hollowing out of this market. The only devices that will survive are ones with large margins and high demand, stuff like the Thor. All the low end, weirdo devices that are super niche and interesting are living on borrowed time and their usual follow ups after 12-18 months might never materialize.
If you’re interested in getting something, just get it now and ride this whole thing out.
