Yeah, we knew. That was the twitter fight Elon had with some guy named Fred who runs a tesla blog.
Fred: This price drop is BS and punishes early adopters
Elon: But you got free supercharging
Fred: That's BS. You used to charge just $2k for free supercharging
Elon: Fine, if you want to give up free supercharging you can have your $5k back
BOOM. And he followed through.

How much does supercharging cost? Is it even comparable to the point someone with a working brain would even think about it?

Supercharging depends on how much you use it. I will almost never use it, so it's worth nearly zero to me. But even if you use it a lot it would be hard to use up $5k worth. It's also not transferable if you sell the car.
Now guess who is pissed off and won't stop complaining - those who didn't buy the $5k performance upgrade package. With this refund they will have paid the same* as the people who ordered the PUP, but they don't get the package.
*Minus taxes. They don't seem to be refunding taxes.
