Your reasoning/logic is actually quite sound and I agree completely.
I think you can actually do better with pricing if you wait towards the end of the year. But then there is that whole waiting part...
Haha you can always wait longer and get it cheaper, but then the next thing comes out and now that is only a few more months away! I do really want one pretty soon after renting a model S on Turo in December, and I'm willing to wait a few months, but I definitely do want to enjoy it this summer and I think those price points I set will be reached before then.
