Due to the Tax rebate going away when the volume ramps up, buying a well equipped model might actually save you money by giving you quicker delivery while the tax rebate is still available.
High line models will be delivered before the base models are produced.
Was the same way with S and X.
I'm thinking this exactly. No I don't need a maxed out car, I'd like to keep it under 40k myself, but if buying a close to base model car looses me $10k+ in tax incentives (Federal plus state here in WA) I'd rather pay $45k and get a highly optioned car now & cash in on the rebates than a 35k base car in 2019/2020 with no rebates.
