Well, they obviously have jacked up the price for the Founders Series as the cost/unit remains high early in the ramp. From an investor perspective that's good. From a reservation holder perspective, it's probably frustrating unless you have $100k to spare.
For reservation holders, I think the problem might extend beyond simple frustration.
I know at least one reservation holder that is foregoing the CyberTruck based not only on price but on range and features. And that one reservation holder - who I know intimately - is now considering a Rivian or Lightning or even a Silverado as a more rational choice. And he’s in no particular hurry, since an ICE pickup is competently handling his needs for now.
And the reality is such a prospective buyer may simply leave the Tesla fold and find greener pastures elsewhere. And winning back a disillusioned former owner is never an easy task.
