I don't doubt they will figure it out, but I am expecting it to be a completely separate model with bigger changes than just bolting in a 3rd row and calling it a day. I mean they must have figured it out to some extent since they had it in the prototype.
Have 3 kids under 6 so I'm confident it will be fine for my use regardless.. just wish details were more fluid. Got first call last week from my local Tesla SC confirming my interest/ability to take ownership (ordered in Dec), so was nice for them to acknowledge my order...
yep, just standard awd 7 seater in white/black interior. Not holding my breath on it being anytime soon, just think they are being a bit proactive in reaching out.
Do they adjust the price for our oders for the $3000 deduction? my order can not be editted on my end.
Has anyone called? I have an Aug of 2019 reservation White/Black, AWD non performance, FSD, 20inch Geminis order. Ive checked a few times and price hasnt been updated. Havent had a chance to call yet.
I sent them an email. They called me back after a few days. Basically, in order for them to apply $3000 reduction, they had to reconfigure it, which meant that I lost the $2K FSD saving since the pre-order. The net saving is $1K. I took the chance to drop the 7-seat option. After I saw the pictures of Rear-ended Ys, I do not think it is safe to sit in the rear seats..
Wondering if 7 seater development timeline has a relationship to the introduction of the bigger rear casting. Probably not?
Does anyone know or can guess what would be the capacity production of the casting machine? If the machine can product at least twice the daily production of the Model Y, may be the Model 3 would also modified to use the one piece casting part? But I doubt that the same part could be shared between the 3 and the Y, so the machine might have to be adjusted then?
