    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    I took delivery of my m3p in January of 2021. It was 20 degrees. They shouldn’t be allowed to sell you a car with summer tires on it under those conditions. The Audi dealer in town makes you sign a waiver if you decline to change the tires out. Would offering an AST option be such a difficult...

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Looks like a solid upgrade and zero to complain about. The suspension improvements have me most intrigued as that was the old P's biggest weakness. Congrats to those placing orders. I don’t qualify for tax credits so I’ll wait for these to hit the used market where the credit will be baked...

    It won’t. It’s a niche car. The press will be all over it. Lots of YouTube’s and magazine articles but it won’t register as more than a blip otherwise. Probably best for us here that it stays under the radar anyway.

    Originally you had to lease and buyout to get the $7500. Now they are doing a straight 5k rebate and you can stack incentives. In short you should be able to get 10 percent off msrp plus 5000 to 7500 in cash/lease incentives. 60 to 62k for a 75k msrp i4 m50 is very doable.

    I cross shopped and ended up with an i4m50. With current discounts and incentives they are available for about 60k new. Yes is still higher than a m3 but for me I appreciate the improved suspension and traditional car like feel of the BMW. It looks and drives like a BMW and it’s still stupid...

    Ed could Tesla do something like BMW with a short term overboost function? My i4 has a 10 second boost function that adds 60 hp. Just a thought.

    I wasn’t the one making bold statements about zero to 60 times - you were. I was responding to you. Now after making those statements you are saying 0 to 60 doesn’t even matter? Talk about a bizarre series of posts. I’ll bet you $100 it doesn’t do it in 2.2 as you predict. If I’m wrong, I’ll...

    Very bullish prediction but you know, the math matters.

    Should I keep or trade in my 2018 Tesla P3D for either a Model S (or when available a Highland Model 3)?

    Cars are not investments. If this about money, keep it. Cars are emotional for me. Time for something new. The new M3P is looking like it may be better than the current Model S LR. I’d probably wait and choose between as used SLR and a M3P Highland.

    Price looks right. I’d dial back those times a bit. Maybe 2.8-2.9, 11.0. The real draw is an improved suspension. That’s worth the price of admission alone.

    MASTER THREAD: 2021 Model 3 - Charge data, battery discussion etc

    Seems more correct and certainly not normal to get 10 percent in year 1.

    10 percent seems high to me and not normal. Do you have a source for that? Genuinely interested.

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Can’t speak for the EVO but the cheapest m50 I’ve seen is about 60k. Perhaps if you custom order a base model. Also to get the $7500 you have to lease and then flip to a buy or hold as a lease. Nothing insurmountable but it’s a hassle. see above. I watch them closely. Most msrp for $75k. I’ve...

    Pretty bullish. Guess we will see.
