The chip shortage might not be that big of a problem as it was during the COVID times.
They probably loaded up with microchips when they were available for cheaper prices, and chip shortage is not so severe as it was few months ago or last year,
than they increased device prices a lot after that, so now they can afford to offer bigger discounts.
I think I had an unrealistic expectation that once the chip shortage issue settles, they'd revert prices to the pre-covid phase.
- At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Model R with a price tag of $350+ on its launch date!I wouldn't buy any of their devices now, even with big discounts.

but I think there are better options on the market right now.
Even if you didn't own the Model One?
