I'm not surprised. This is the one big reason I'm still remotely considering a Tesla model 3 performance. Ethically I'm not sure I can justify it, but I'm in the market for something quick, electric, and affordable. And everything I've looked at is just a lot more expensive and not quite as quick. Which are the things I'm most interested in.

They may be hoping for an interest rate drop so that overpriced cars are feasible again. The rate hikes definitely put a kink in their "overcharge early adopters" plan.
