    2024 Model 3 Performance Announced - Discussion thread post announcement

    If you ordered black seats you'll probably get it. White seats? August I bet.

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

    Jason Cammisa said it doesn't have as steep of a falloff and it keeps pulling on the Carmudgeon podcast, so I am excited to see that in numbers.

    The most important thing to observe here is that we were both wrong.

    Well, looks like the math worked for them. It qualifies for the tax credit and comes in cheaper than the LR.

    @eivissa Does this line up with what you've calculated already?

    > Your design qualifies for a $7,500 federal tax credit for eligible buyers. Holy *sugar*.

    Well, it’s live. $52,990, 2.9s 0-60.

    Looks like first deliveries might be May-June based on German website source code, exciting!

    Well, there went 8 PM Eastern. Damn. One more sleep!

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

    It's going to be such a small percentage of their overall car sales that the announcement probably won't even budge the stock price.

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

    Alright folks, during the new Model 3 launch, the carwow video dropped around 8PM Eastern. This coincided with the car going live on the overseas configurators. There were rumblings about Europe getting it first again this time, which does line up with the Shanghai Gigafactory lots filled with...

    Well, the French show Turbo(?) should have aired by now, I take it nothing was shown?

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

    My working theory is that it hasn’t leaked because it’s not exciting

    Would have expected it to go live by now if it were going to. Looks like it’s gonna be Monday night or Tuesday night. Carwow was the first to post on YouTube when Highland launched, I wonder if they’ll be first again.

    That podcast he linked mentioned they’d be late again because another electric car embargo is lifting on Tuesday the 23rd. Probably the M3L, but of course can’t state for certain.

    i'd like to certify my order for this car if it ever goes live

    Also, they're calling it Performance still in the descriptions... hmm.

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

    Lines up with earnings on Tuesday, April 23rd. Sigh. Guess we aren't getting anything official until then unless @eivissa happens to get more scraps to toss our way.

    Just 3 or 4 more sleeps. Goodnight folks.

    For tax credit eligible buyers this is the Y btw (for now).

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

    They wouldn't be slashing a majority of the cars they sell by many thousands of dollars. The 3 is much less popular than the Y. Also, I do wonder how many Tesla buyers actually qualify for the tax credit, that would be some interesting data to see. A few possibilities: - They lower the cost of...

    Tesla gets less money at 59,990 than they do at 54,990. They have to price it more than $7,500 above 54,990 to make up for the lost EV incentives. This puts us in the 65k range, which I don't think they'll do.

    The turnaround on a newly ordered highland is about 2 months right now, so this wouldn't surprise me.

    Is this view on the UK Model 3 order page new? Looks pretty different from the US view...

    I am now concerned the issues ramping the refresh are causing them to delay launching the Ludicrous

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

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