Definitely not the same. 

That was a rebate off MSRP. MSRP stayed the same. 

Tesla lowered the MSRP ~20% in a day. This has an immediate impact on all owners who bought a Tesla in the past year or so. Putting thousands of owners under water on their loans.

A lot of retailers offer price difference paybacks for products that go on sale within a period of when you bought them. Something tells me Elon wouldn’t do that.
