My main point was that Elon is very crafty. Once again he over promised and underdelivered on a launch timeline and faced having to be stuck selling hundreds of thousands of trucks at prices that made sense for the original timeline but now look to cost him tens of thousands in opportunity cost per vehicle. But, he found a way to collect even more money with this quad motor plan by forcing all Tri-Motor early adopters to cancel their guaranteed $70k price for something that will likely be well over $100k. He profits more than ever at the expense of his customers despite his operational failures.By personal choice. I have a vehicle that has many tens of thousands of miles left in it. I was planning on waiting years to get the ct after launch originally. I chose to get a reservation later after realizing waiting any longer would mean getting it after my desired time frame, just as others have chosen to pay a premium for first in line. I bet I'll get my ct approximately when I was planning on ditching my ice vehicle. You don't see me complaining about my choice.
For those who can choose to pay premium for early access, I'm sure if there are any price increases, they will not be put out by paying for those increases if it is the case.
For those who paid the premium but are on the edge of affording it, they probably shouldn't have been willing to pay the premium to begin with.
But again, I'm not in the camp of thinking there will be big price increases.
I think $70k was a possible stretch for many people, but $100k+ will not be. Sucks to be those loyal customers I guess that are losing out due to Elon's failure to deliver on a timeline.
