SR+ is such a good value when you factor in total cost of ownership.
SR is still the best value, IMO. It gets you a Tesla. 200+ mile range with access to supercharger network. And OTA updates.

To each their own. Not having AP is a deal breaker for me. I use it every day.
it makes me cry. My LR RWD was $55,700 lol. I did get the $7500 tax credit but still. Geez!!!

As a first-half 2019 SR+ buyer, I feel lucky as I'm one of the few that is still "in the money" with my purchase... paid $34,850 in May 2019 compared to $36,690 if I were to purchase today (net of federal/state tax incentives + destination).

To be honest I feel fine, too. I bought my 3P+ in April, 2019. Was $61,250 including FSD and in black paint, after $3750 tax credit. And it came with HomeLink, charging adapter, and the other small things that are now omitted from the Model 3. So really not bad at all compared to today’s prices. I’m still in the money, too.
Then again, even if I weren’t ahead, I wouldn’t care. Wouldn’t trade a year of having this car for anything.
I think it's the current first half of this year's buyers until now, myself included, are the ones that seems to be affected the most. They don't get the tax incentives, and got the price increase right before the beginning of the year.

My experience: I ordered a SRP+ on May 11th. The car still hasn't been produced, and I still haven't paid for it.
I called once, the girl on the phone told me I wouldn't get the updated price because I agreed on one price when I ordered. I said it's stupid because I still haven't paid for it, she told me to cancel and make the order again.
Then I go on my account, and notice the "edit your car design". I do it, select the exact same configuration, and the updated price shows up. I call again to make sure, this time a guy responds, tells me I can't get the discount. I tell him on the website it shows up, he says it's weird and tell me to wait. It hang up.
I call again, another woman. I explain everything, she says no problem and that the price will be updated within 24 to 48h. I still decide to update the design manually on my account, and it worked.
Don't hesitate to force and ask again and again. I would have paid $2K more if I had stopped at the first lady.

Wow... $5,000 State Rebate and no Sales Taxes. My Sales Tax in Ohio for my new LR Model Y was $4,740 that is almost a $10,000 difference!

Yeah, as long as you haven't taken delivery that's an easy ask. If you haven't been assigned a VIN yet it is effectively a lock to get it.

@TX_M3P+ I would ask for the $2k for use at their charging station. I have a midrange 2018 and don't usually spend more than $10 to fill the batteries which gets me up to about 245 or 250 miles (it used to be 260+). If I do my math right, thats 200 charges! Or, work in the deal for one of the $500 chargers for home. I'm able to charge at around 30 mph for a lot less than I pay at one of the charging stations.

Yeah, but you could also use the $2k to have a home charger installed for $1k and be able to charge whenever you want and only pay off-peak charging rates!
Plus you'd still have another $1k left over to spend on other accessories!Tell me about it. Here in seattle there is a 10.4% car tax. Same car is ~$10k cheaper in NJ!
