There’s literally no negotiating on those units right now. They’re still a year out and if you want one sooner you’re paying over MSRP, which on a rapidly depreciating piece of junk, is the stupidest thing I can imagine.

You need to determine if you’re confident that a year from now what you would be ordering today, for the money you’ll have tied up, is still the best option/what you want. Full stop, that’s the only consideration. If a few thousand dollars of extras and add-one sours you, don’t even bother trying right now.
