Well, maybe I got a little too excited. But, the M3 got reduced by 2k as well. 38k is getting close!I wouldn’t say that much... still a pricey car but I can say this much, I sure wish I waited two months before before taking delivery of my 2020...
You’re grandfather into the price and free supercharging but You’re lucky... you have the option to cancel your order and reorder for the new price. Or keep your order and have free supercharging. Personally, I would cancel for the new price to get the car cheaper upfront and less I have to fund. Free supercharging is nice but it will take A LOT of supercharging to get your $5k worthSo the MS that I have on order (no VIN assigned yet, and yes I tried CTRL+U) will stay more expensive but will have free supercharging?

Maybe so, but that’s still ~36,000 miles of supercharging if comparing to a 30mpg car just to break even.You see where he lives though? at today's price gas in US dollars where he lives is $4.35 per gallon. So UFSC means a lot more to him than people in the US.

At a generous 300 miles per hour charge rate that’s 120 hours of sitting at superchargers - $41.66 an hour for that “free” supercharging. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
I’m mostly tongue-in-cheeking, but tend to think most people overvalue “free” supercharging quite a bit.You're going to give the math teacher some math? Ok
Nothing wrong with your numbers, but here is some alternate truthiness:
Model S if it were an ICE; or a better comparison would be 20 mpg. That brings the miles down to 23,000 miles to break even.
300 miles per hour average supercharging rate? Yeah I wish. But it is a new model S with the 100 kWh pack. Let's say an average of 80kW charge rate? That would be about 260 miles per hour, yielding 88 hours of supercharging to break even.
The $ per hour is meaningless, because the person is not selling the car at that time; after 88 hours the person is now making money. (ignoring the time value of money concept, and interest on the 5 k etc.)
If the person travels a lot, and keeps the car for many years, it is thousands saved.
P.S. I never said I wouldn't prefer the 5K, but here is another option: take that 5K and put it towards solar panels. Again in my place in the world it may be 20+ years for the math to say that is when the person breaks even, but some decide it is still worthwhile to have it for "peace of mind".
Because you haven't yet taken delivery, Tesla will change the price to the new one without you asking.So the MS that I have on order (no VIN assigned yet, and yes I tried CTRL+U) will stay more expensive but will have free supercharging?
What's the point of comparing mpg, gas prices, etc to free supercharging? It's not like we can use 91 octane in our cars as a substitute.
I would definitely take $5K and give up the free supercharging. It doesn't have any value either way when you sell the car since the next owner doesn't get it.
