So, Should You Jump On This?

Here's my take: If you were ALREADY planning to order a Model 3, and you were looking to take delivery around March 31st, 2025, then this is a fantastic deal.

BUT, don't go cancelling existing orders or making rash decisions just for this. Do the math, consider your charging habits, loan rates, delays, and make sure it actually benefits you.
