Hate to think this is possibly going to be the norm going forward.
At least they will honor the price if you were in que thats more than most people can expect IMO.
I really hope this is a temporary thing with just this generation of cards and things will improve for the next series.

Considering this is a Trump tariff, I am hopeful that Biden will end the trade war BS and prices will go back to normal.
TSMC is building a Fab in AZ so it is working

TSMC's main fab is in Taiwan (TSMC stands for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company), so they wouldn't be affected anyway.
That being said, as far as tariffs go, if we were going to use them to try to preserve our manufacturing sector, we really needed them thirty years ago. I am not sure arbitrarily slapping on a 10% tariff now actually accomplishes much. But if it was just the tariff it would be one thing, it's just after all of the existing shortages and price inflation that already took place, it feels like another insult added on.
I don't know, with how fast the queue is moving, a lot of people may not end up having the price honored. They still haven't gotten done with day one step-ups. Frankly it seems like the speed of step-ups is actually slowing down. Hopefully it was just the holidays.
I guess my 2080 Super is still going strong, at least. Glad I opted for a 2080 Super instead of a 2070 Super!

I'd be all over 3060 / 3070 cards at near MSRP pricing.
