Did you get your $5000 rebates and original price below MSRP? If not, you got taken as that is exactly what is offered right now.

The offer is what took me there. You can take the 5G or a 0% financing plan with more bargaining power yet. They're not trying to hide the offer from anyone, they tell you as soon as you walk in.
