We are in crazy time, back then. last December, I paid 49900 and waited only 3 weeks for delivery. On top of that, Tesla gave 1 year of supercharge if you take delivery on Dec since they want to show their numbers to wallstreet 
I have been doing long road trip, free supercharge really helps . I feel very lucky sometime . I also electrified all my cars, sold all ICE cars, got new Honda Clarity and Bolt EV. The crazy thing is all cars went up value, basically, after 1 year of driving, I still make more money if I decide to sell them. It's really crazy time, I never thought in my life that you can make money on cars . Just to give some numbers, I paid 2020 Honda Clarity 28K, after EV rebate + Tax Credit, I ended up paid only 18K+. Last week, I looked up Vroom and CarMax for fun, they offer me around 25,800. If I decide to sell to private party, it's around 27,800 (so basically, I made 8k after driving the car for 1 year). If you buy from dealer, it's 29K+. It's really crazy, this is like insane...

Sure, I wish I'd done that NOW, but then hindsight is always 2020, isn't it? I really didn't expect the prices to keep going up what with Tesla's mission being to bring EV's to as many people as possible. Seems counter to the mission to me, but it would seem I was wrong on that one.
I’m bummed I didn’t get in at the $48,990 time period during Feb/Mar as I was still waiting on the new headlights. But I had to go through with my purchase because they kept threatening to cancel my reservation if I didn’t go through with it and kept asking me about my order on hold every 90 days. I’ve gotten several auto cancellation emails and so decided to just go through with it in case they actually cancel my order because it is on hold too long.
this applies to pretty much every car. my 2018 prius is worth 4K more than I purchased it for after driving it 23K miles over three years. hope prices hold up until my MYLR arrives early 2022 hopefully with EV rebate and I can kind of replicate your success hahaWe are in crazy time, back then. last December, I paid 49900 and waited only 3 weeks for delivery.

More than ever before now is the time to order the Performance Model Y instead of the Long Range Model Y. If you add the cost of the 20" Induction wheels ($2000) to the Long Range Model Y and then purchase the Acceleration Boost for ($2000) after delivery you will have spent $4000, the Long Range Model Y will have cost you $60,990 US not including the $1200 delivery charge and any tax. You will have to wait until at least May '22 for the Long Range Model Y. You can purchase the Performance Model Y, instead, for $61,990 and expect delivery by December '21.
I ordered my MYLR on 9/5, white with white interior and tow. That configuration is the $1k less than the base model today. It's like I got the options for free! But seriously, with Tesla dropping the free connectivity and jacking up the prices $3k in only 2 months, something is going on. Either total capitalistic cash grabbing or the need for quick capital for growth. There's probably a bit of both at play.

Do we think this will go down once production ramps up? Didn't Musk say the goal was to be more affordable?

Prices will go up and down as the market dictates. Their goal is to make money, make no mistake about it. Tesla is a for-profit company.
anything else his crystal ball said? hahaha
i mean, it is what it is - at this point, there's no use in ordering the Y LR now and wait until spring.....
performance it is
A local dealership is offering me almost $10k more than I paid for this car at the beginning of the year. I've driven this thing hard over the past few months and the offer is very tempting.....

I do not. Why would prices go down when the demand is so high? As of 4Q 2021, the demand is probably the highest it has ever been. Also, Elon Musk says a lot of things. If you took him at his word, FSD would be light years ahead of where it is now. I don't care what Elon or the fanboys say, it's still essentially vaporware all these years later.
