It will increase again when the government subsidies end (makes buying an alternate EV more expensive).
It will tank HARD when the first Model S gets delivered.
It will tank HARDER when the all the Roadster owners on the Model S waiting list all get their Model S at the same time and all put their Roadsters up for sale at the same time.
It will tank HARDERER when the first Roadster battery pack finally dies, needs a new one, and the replacement cost goes public.

I would bet that most Roadster owners who have ordered the Model S will end up keeping both cars at least for sometime while the battery pack is still usable.... so maybe it won't tank all that much for the first 2 tankings you listed. Tough to say about what happens when battery packs start to need replacing though.... if more powerful, lighter packs are offered it could actually turn it into a better car and create additional demand. If a similar pack to the current one is sold either by Tesla or somebody else for $10,000 or so (which I know is not likely), then perhaps people keep their cars also keeping supply down and demand up. Howerver, if a similar pack to the current one is the only option and it's $30,000 or more, then you are probably right --- many owners will pull the plug and swamp the market with cars.
