The base MS LR price is up to $94,990 now. Plaid stayed the same.

Model S LR - another price increase 5k

Omg… kinda getting crazy now. Crazy to think that the base S is cost the same I paid for my 2020 MX, six seat white on white configuration a year ago.
When I factor the price I locked in when I ordered, vs all the prices increases, extra sales tax i'd pay, and all kinds of other things, it is about a 20k delta. The MS LR is appreciating faster than my beach house in a hot market.
Yep, apparently, the yoke isn't holding back demand at all. I was just looking and I saw used ones (2021 refreshed MS LR) going for about 110k-120k. For that I'd seriously look at other cars like the EQS or Taycan.

Asking prices are not necessarily selling prices. There have been refresh 2021 MS LRs selling for under $100k on sites like eBay.
Also, MS availability remains quite limited right now with only around 9,275 LR and Plaid delivered worldwide in Q3, and maybe 2,700 of those were in the U.S. These are very low numbers.
Needless to say, the market is still crazy with many different makes and models, new and used, selling for more than they should due to availability issues. It will be interesting to see what happens to the market (and prices) over the next year or so. Some people may be regretting what they paid for their car in 2021. Same goes for real estate.

The way I approached this and our MY purchase was to give us a great opportunity to try a Tesla(s) with little financial risk. It was our first really deep foray into a BEV that was more than just a city car. The fact that Tesla keeps raising their prices means my risk of depreciation is likely diminished significantly even if there isn't any appreciation.
I really wanted go with a Plaid originally but the absence of any towing capability for the Model S platform in the US nixed that idea. So we ordered the MS LR and MY LR to cover the need for towing and having something with better ride quality and performance.
My hope at the time of the order that there would be significant performance improvements in the MS LR mirroring those, but to a lesser extent, of the Plaid. Early reports from owners look very good about the performance capabilities. I liked the M3P's performance at a minimum for a daily driver but wanted more room, better ride quality, ventilated seats and a dash in front of me.
I will be towing less in the future, and maybe not at all, so maybe we'll sell the MY LR if my spouse doesn't want to drive it enough. Drive the MS LR for a while and if I really like it, maybe reconsider the Plaid at a later date, and sell the MS while the values are high. Assuming we don't see a huge bump in the Plaid's price. Who knows there might be even better options from other companies in the next year or so. Glad to have so many decent if not excellent, BEV options in the market.

Feeling really good about the $920 strike option calls I picked up a couple months ago. Might pay for the car!
