Your thinking about it too much. They are willing to provide you exactly what you ordered. They are also willing to let you change it to the newest, latest model at the current pricing w/o penalty. Buy the car you want, when you want it. If this doesn't have the feature set you want, take a pass on it and see if something better comes along.
When you buy a <insert major upscale car brand here> your likely getting a very very different price from the next person that walks through the door. I paid about $4k more for my BMW M3 than a friend of mine that bought his a month later. And mine was priced just below what my research said was reasonable. They just had a new shipment and wanted to move more cars right after I purchased. They weren't willing to give me any money back. Of course, spy photos came out with the new M3 body style shortly thereafter as well. But, I was still happy with my M3 (except for the rate of tire consumption). Buy what you want at the price your ok with and don't look back.
This is a bit more gut-wrenching as it's difficult to put a price on "unlimited supercharging" - it's going to be different for everyone. Personally, I won't benefit from unlimited SpC. But the one part I'm concerned about is if they happen to become super popular on the resale market. On the other side, I'm thinking the 100d has better longevity due to the new battery pack design.
How do I know...
I'm in the same boat, except my deposit is non-refundable at this point and it will cost me $500 in addition to loosing the super-charging. But still, it's what I expected when I started looking at the car. I was hedging my bets. I was expecting a s100d that would no longer have unlimited supercharging and cost $7500-$10,000 more, a proposition I would have passed on. But since it's coming in at $3k ($4k including repricing and my $500 change fee), it's a really really hard decision.
All very fair points, and I am probably being a bit unreasonable. I probably will cancel because there is no sense of urgency right now, and reorder when the next "thing" becomes available, or maybe I will just stick with it. Not sure yet.
