We just happened to get lucky when we ordered ours! We kept holding off for over a year. We even quit looking at the site to check the price. Then we had to make a trip to Dallas the first of April. I told my wife we should go drive one and see what it was like. We contacted the SC’s in the area and they didn’t have one to demo. So without hesitation I told my wife that I would find a well used one sitting on a lot so we could see what the car was like after some wear and tear. We happened to find one with 50k miles sitting on a lot about 3 miles from our hotel. We both drove it briefly. We went to eat dinner and discuss our thoughts about it. We ordered the car while sitting at the table (Cheesecake Factory)!!! I loaded the Tesla page and it was 14k less than the last time I remembered looking. Of course every other vehicle we were considering has gone up 20-30k. So for us we were glad we waited a year. Then while on order the 2 quick price drops happened….so we did full PPF. Also bought some more Tesla shares with the savings.Yes! That's exactly why I caved and ordered on 5/1. Feels like they're going to raise prices on the Y. If it was all part of Tesla's master plan, I absolutely fell for it.
I know I could care less what happens with the prices now that we purchased. If they go down in price from here, I know I bought at the time they were the cheapest they had ever been. I do feel bad for those that bought last year but that is a risk when making any large purchase.
