Even with a $25k lower price than the current MSRP, it’s still a very expensive car. He pays the car with his own money and IMO he is entitled to feel whatever he wants. There is not only one intended use of buying a car. Some people wants to keep it for a long time (which means ‘22 or ‘23 won’t make a big difference) but some people only keep their car for a short while only, maybe even only a few months while waiting for the other EV to arrive. I picked up an MYP in February 2022 while waiting for my Model X. I’m about to sell it now after only 8 months because my Model X has arrived. In a case like this, a year difference in the VIN will make a difference.
