The other people responding are correct; the paying customer dictates when to launch, not SpaceX's hobby projects. You should treat reusability as a hobby for them, until they start getting paid contracts specifically to test reusability. Additionally, I should add:
> another day or two
At this point, due to the moon's orbit interfering with the trajectory of this launch, they have to wait another week or two, not a day, if they scrub this evening's launch. Waiting 1-2 more week for this launch might mean pushing other customer's launch dates back even further, thus incurring more delays and more cost overruns won't help SpaceX improve anything faster.
