downside of waiting might be the cut on the federal tax
batteries are still unproven tech imo, too many reports of failures right around the 100k waranty, tesla does a good job of sweeping it under the rug.
id rather have a real car than a rental where im forced to get another $15k battery every 100k miles.
Trump killed the tax credit
Not yet.
Included FSD - 20" wheels - all colors - tow hitch, white interior - $48,600 with Fed and CO POS credits.
Obviously some forced commie choices, but if you were to max spec a MYP its not bad.

That being said I don't think people who have bought on launch have ever come out on top in regards to getting a good deal. See cybertruck or people buying 60K model Ys a couple years ago... they are just catering to people with FOMO

" The new Model Y Long Range AWD Launch Series edition is actually a great deal.
It's $12,000 more ($59,990 starting price) than the old Model Y LR AWD, but you get a lot of extra stuff for that price. Here's what's included in the Launch Series:
• FSD ($8,000 value)
• Acceleration boost ($2,000 value)
• Tow hitch ($1,000 value)
• Included paint color of you choice (up to a $2,000 value)
• Included wheels of your choice (up to a $2,000 value)
• Interior color of your choice (a $1,000 value)
• Mobile charger ($275 value)
• Exclusive Launch Series badging on the rear liftgate, puddle light, doorsill plate and more, as well as custom entry animation on screen when you enter the car
So essentially you are getting up to $17,000 worth of stuff for $12,000. A similarly specced legacy Model Y LR AWD would cost $61,990, or $2,000 more than the new Launch Series Model Y, and that's excluding all the exclusive badging, puddle light, etc, and you're getting all the new upgrades in the new Y too. "
Also the 'launch edition' is a scammy package to take money from fools.
And did they kill the stalks on this model now too? Jesus these people are idiots.

But but but there is Distinctive Lighting! This new Y had a go with the ugly stick and there is nothing distinctive about it. It looks like a generic vehicle on a Donate Your Car commercial. The obsession with replacing mechanical things with electrical things where the latter is far worse is comical.
