I am a terrible Boglehead too then by this standard.I think the problem was ordering one for delivery this year. AFAIK, they are moving production from Alabama to Germany next year and are retooling the factory to manufacture a lower end EV (EQA, I believe). So, I got one of the two remaining production slots. I’m not a good Boglehead, I guess, but I don’t mind paying a bit more to get exactly what I want.
I don’t know what that translates into in terms of discount from MSRP (they’re not allowed to advertise that figure). I do suspect there is a significant one beyond the factory $12.5k rebates though, just based on a ballpark estimate.
ETA: I also tend to keep my cars for a long time, so first year depreciation doesn’t matter much to me.
On a lighter note, I see that the electric G-Wagen has been released. Perhaps it's not too late to adjust the order.
