I also have a LR on order, just before Christmas.
Sure, I would love the old price (they have yet to update my Tesla Account, but I am not holding my breath). But, it is not the same car either. I appears that for the extra $9K (give or take) I am getting:
- 0.5 seconds faster 0-60;
- Better battery thermal characteristics (even if still the old cells);
- Better aero;
- A minor range bump (and yes, this is my first EV so I still have range anxiety);
- Somewhat faster charging;
- Side view cameras;
- Spoiler;
- Chrome-out (if I wanted lots of chrome I would buy a Harley);
- Glass roof like a Lucid;
- Vastly upgraded interior (even if it is not leather).
And I am sure there are a lot of little things on there I missed or have not been well publicized yet.
Should I change my mind and decide I am being screwed, the Lucid option is still there.
