Seriously, in a traditional car purchase one can easily drive out of the lot with the identical car as somebody who paid thousands more or less than you, because the price is negotiated.
With Tesla if you bought the car, you paid the same as everybdy else, apparently a price acceptable to the market, and also apparently more worth paying than for some competing car; why is this a bad deal?
Tesla makes cars, and needs to earn a profit to stay in business. When you bought your car they were losing money, not only corporately but quite possibly on every car manufactured and sold, for lack of scale; perhaps you should have been charged more.
Also keep in mind that virtually everything which does not become a collector item depreciates in value, not just when used but simply as time passes. This is so ingrained into our relationship with electronic/technology devices (for which a Tesla qualifies), that everyone simply expects that when they buy "today", by next day/week/year the same or better product will always be available for less.
This is exactly what happened with your car purchase, and you got exactly the same "benefit" that every buyer gets, when they finally decide to purchase -- they get to enjoy the product instead of waiting for some magical "best time to buy" -- except in fact you did not have to pay more, because of the incentive rebate.
