No different than another manufacturer that offers a rebate the monthly after you bought, or lowered an interest rate etc.
But none of them get a better car every time there is a software update.

That is why companies do not advertise price drops in advance. Most specifically note "not applicable for prior orders".
Sometimes Tesla has adjusted pricing on cars ordered, but not yet delivered.
Consumers benefit when they have a price protected earlier order when prices go up prior to delivery. Tesla still honors the lower contracted pricing.

Although I feel your pain, be glad you bought a Tesla. The price of a leaf or bolt can change by 5000 bucks from dealer to dealer. And the dickering you need to do just to get that.
I think autocorrect changed your “haves” to “of’s” in your title. Might want to get the mod to correct that for you. Reads funny.

OP : I wonder if you'd return money to Tesla if they made the car more expensive the next day?
5 years from now it won't matter! Bought our Tesla in 2015 when Canadian dollar = USD exchange, sometimes you get lucky... but then again, bought a pre-AP Model S and sometimes regret that...

They're also including USB c and wireless charging now... always improving. I'm in the market for one too but the quality issues I keep reading about is scaring me away

You are suffering from FIA (Forum Induced Anxiety).
Potential owners read all the complaints from posters and fear that all the cars will be this way.
Reality is that some are better than others and everyone hopes they will get one of the best ones.
Loosing out on the Tesla experience by worrying about minor paint issues or a mis-aligned body panel will often cause you to suffer from an even greater worry FOMA.
Ordering a new car is often a leap of faith. If you are fearful you will also suffer from loss.

Buy used and let the original owner do all the hard work then?
We bought a used 2013 Model S from Tesla back in the days when CPO meant more than "what you see is what you get", but our S has not a squeak or rattle, there are good Tesla's on the road!! :=)

I try to never let the fortune or misfortune of others affect my happiness. You got an amazing car and I hope that it brings you joy for years to come.
This is still a better feeling than... knowing the guy after you got a $3000 discount on a Benz cause he got the right friend at the dealership.

Which model dropped $3k? I’ve been out of the loop lately. I’m going to assume it was an S or X?
That’s how it goes man. I can buy an AWD LR Model 3 for the price I paid for my RWD LR 3 today. Just the nature of the beast with Tesla. I enjoy my car and don’t regret the purchase. It’s fun being able to kick out the rear end sometimes which can’t easily be done on the AWD.
Prices fluctuate due to effiencies on their end, demand or currency. Just have to enjoy what you have now and when you want to buy again just wait till end of the quarter for their inventory deals.
Cheers.

The 3's dropped $3K, the S and X dropped about $5k, or so I have heard.
Living one’s life based on “coulda, shoulda, woulda” is a plan for living dissatisfied.
I couldn’t tell you what I paid for my TM3 or what the same car would cost now. Once I buy something, I forget the price. That deal is done.
If I didn’t think the deal was worth it, I would not have made the purchase.
If the purchase was worth it, it doesn’t matter if there is a price change.
Summer 2018 Model 3 LR RWD EAP "Premium-interior" here. Too anxious / topped budget to wait for the AWD that was coming in the fall.
Agreed upon price was the price I was happy with. Liked-spec was about 5-7 grand less 1 year later.
Don't fret about it and enjoy the the car.
EV-induced smiles are the best
