Uhm, I paid less than 25k for mine, and thousands of others did too. Sure, I had to pre-order because I knew they would never be in stock at that price and post covid backups. If you walked onto a lot to try to buy one, yeah, you were upcharged.
Now, if you were to buy one, yes, the base price is now essentially 25k vs 20k.
Like, I knew this guy was a piece of shit, but I at least thought it was performative for the base.
Nah, he’s ALWAYS been a piece of shit.
