    New Model 3 SR+ with rear motor 3D5 instead of 3D1

    AAZ is slower than AAQ. 0-100 kph in 5.9 while Tesla is still advertising 5.6 on their HP:

    New Model 3 SR+ with rear motor 3D5 instead of 3D1

    I absolutely have no idea why anyone would compare minor revisions with an engine change, is that some kind of hobby in this forum? This time the engine was changed. The COC changed. The maximum power output changed. The type code number (not sure if that is the correct English word) changed...

    New Model 3 SR+ with rear motor 3D5 instead of 3D1

    That sounds promising that really nothing has changed - but could Tesla just inform transparently about these changes and confirm that it won't change anything about the car (if that is true) instead of secretly changing things? Edit: and wait, the drop on maximum 30min power must have a real...

    New Model 3 SR+ with rear motor 3D5 instead of 3D1

    Well I focused on performance (and efficiency and generelly wanted a car that has a good adaptive cruise control and is a nice place to be in). I wanted an electric car with high performance and the SR+ price is the limit I am willing to pay. Every alternative does not nearly offer the...

    Snippiness 2.0

    Screw your wallnuts and other peanuts. When did any other car manufacturer do something like putting a 335-engine in a car that always had a 340 engine without telling customers (never ever)?

    New Model 3 SR+ with rear motor 3D5 instead of 3D1

    So this is the fanboy culture I kept hearing about... The resell value of some wallnuts are irrelevant for consumers. That's not even comparing apples with pears. Just imagine BMW suddenly selling 335i engines in 340i models without telling anyone. Never happened, never will and rightly so.

    New Model 3 SR+ with rear motor 3D5 instead of 3D1

    A person who got the Model 3 in spring this year (no power drop) is not an early adopter. By this logic, Tesla should tell the customers what they get, nobody wanted to nerf early adopter's cars. Frunk mats cost a few dollar, ridiculous to compare this to a motor upgrade. Why would anyone...

    New Model 3 SR+ with rear motor 3D5 instead of 3D1

    New Model 3 SR+ is slower from 0-60 than before (5.6 seconds instead of ~5.2). And if you say "but Tesla did not promise 5.2 - that's not the point. It is a drop in power output. Without telling the customers. Resell values are going to be worse if there is no "compensation" like a better...

    New Model 3 SR+ with rear motor 3D5 instead of 3D1

    Imagine any other manufacturer changing the power output from 239kw to 208kw without telling the customers... Naturally, everybody thinks (s)he is going to get the same power output anyone got before. But since it's Tesla, I hope we get some good news on battery day, like from now on, the new...
