Why did you pay more than 6 BTC?
Because Tesla (and all electric vehicles) is one big ponzi scheme and clown Elon tricked many people by adding, then removing Bitcoin support from tesla website, and dumping bitcoin.
Everything about Elon is fake, but if some people like to waste money aka bitcoin on steel junk that will become useless soon, go for it.
I am in the same boat. I have a very low order number, ordered it within minutes of the prices being shown. I have the ability to configure in my account now, but don't want to spend $20k extra and lose the $7500 federal tax credit. In other words its $27k penalty to order now.
Of course someone just sold one for $200k plus.
Damn, you could buy it and don’t? That’s crazy. You get full self driving, lifetime premium connectivity, and a few other things thrown in with that $20K. In reality, it’s probably only a $12K penalty to get it early and you could sell it for a profit and rebuy one when the price drops probably for free before you wait for a regular invite. Only reason I’m OK with waiting is because I think I’ll end up paying less than 1 BTC for mine the way things are going, but if I got the email invite I’d configure immediately.
What was the first 5 digits of your preorder number? I’m 11322.
While I have purchased my last six vehicles brand new, the most expensive one was $23k (MSRP $27k). I was doing a 'Tesla stretch' to get the $50k cybertruck. I would still be buying at $67k now, but $100k ($106k with taxes) is just too much. Bitcoin is the wildcard though. I would not need to sell any to buy in my budget as stated. And that is the point for me, being responsible based on my own finances. Yes, I still have considered splurging and selling Bitcoin to get it, but don't think I will.
I will probably be ordering a lowest priced inventory model Y before the end of March, getting me new wheels for $35k, making the $106k even more crazy.

Totally understandable. Thinking about it, I guess there is a big risk if you did buy, by the time you take delivery they aren’t selling at a premium anymore. If it doesn’t fit your financial plan, it doesn’t fit. If you don’t have anyone giving you a referral for that model Y, let me know. 3 free months of auto-pilot and me a step closer to getting one of these beasts to showcase for the community.
Thanks for posting your order number. I’m still so far…
