@Talax74 The base price graphed includes all features that are standard and included at that time. As AP was NOT a standard feature prior to 04/11/19, the base price reflects this.
02/28/19: $37,000 SR+ Introduced (AP not STD)
03/21/19: $37,500 All Trims (except SR) received an average 6% increase (AP not STD)
04/11/19: $39,500 AP Std. for Model 3 except for OTM trims ($3,000 added to SR+ base price).
05/14/19: $39,900 increase of $400 for all Model 3 Trims (AP included).

See this is what I was trying to get at with my first post. Your graph should include a consistent feature-set per model for comparability purposes.
For example, you should re-add the cost of AP to the SR+ models that originally didn’t come with AP standard.
That’s kind of where I am at. I am fine with a flat white vs a pearl white. That’s means I Save $2000 plus tax, so I come out ahead of the June 30 deliver cut off.
That being said, grey is growing on me

The price, inclusion/exclusion, and selection of all options will vary over time. The graph would be very messy if I included every permutation or option a person wanted. The base price is only graphed for simplicity for the active (and OTC) trims.
For instance, since white will be considered a standard color, should I add $1,000 to the price of all trims to get the previous standard black color? Should I add the cost of the previously standard (such as homelink, charging adapters, phone cables, etc.) options? How should I factor the "loss" of alcantara headliner, the changes to the Model 3 seats, or the adjustments to the suspension?

No worries. Perhaps I misunderstood pdx_m3s' comment. To clarify, the base price includes AP once it became standard in April 2019.

Yes, it grew on me as well. I ended up getting it, that being midnight silver metallic, a.k.a. “gray”.

We got midnight silver metallic as well! If available in the future, I would favor metallic silver for the Model Y.

My LR AWD w/FSD and White interior is $2,200 less today than when I took delivery three weeks ago.

But you'll be able to claim $1,875 more in federal tax credits than if you purchased today, right?

That depends on what my AGI will be for the 2019 tax year, and what the cut off may be. Like many other tax incentives, I usually fall in the bucket where the incentives don't apply. I do see additional taxes added, however, based on my AGI. Lastly, my post just stated the facts and to answer the other posters question, no whining. As for the emoticon, that's only for the net reduction. Had it been a positive number (like it is for SR+ buyer's,) I would have put a happy face
. It was kind of a binary thing...

I updated the price graph on Google Sheets accordingly. Below is the graph for the Model 3. The base standard range (SR) model is still available off the menu (OTM). Price of the SR has not been verified.
What surprises me is that LR-AWD-P variant got a $5,000 price cut. I think $2,000-$3,000 would be understandable.
