actual price of SR (non-plus) version after recent news?

[xanatos]

So after the recent news, it's bit confusing how much the SR (the off menu one where you have to call them or go to a store) actually costs now and what it comes with. I keep hearing different answers from different posts. What do you guys think? still 35k or 37k now? if 35k, includes AP or is that just a system glitch?

These are the old prices:

• $35,000 for SR
• $37,500 for SR+

Based on Tesla's blog post, all Teslas now include Autopilot as standard for an additional $2,000 instead of $3,000 when Autopilot was an option. That means new prices should be as follows:

• $37,000 for SR with AP
• $39,500 for SR+ with AP

Tesla: All Tesla vehicles now come with Autopilot bundled as a standard feature for less than the prior cost of the option. Source

that's what I thought too, but I am seeing reports of people calling in orders today and still being able to buy 35k SR without AP, along with others who already had SR orders and had it adjusted to become 35k SR WITH AP, and some being adjusted to 37k SR WITH AP. Plus there was an article where a Tesla spokesperson supposedly said SR is not affect by automatic bundling of AP. So it's all over the place right now...

...bit confusing...

The blog talks about "exclusively on the three Model 3 variants customers want most."

All 3 models on the web have Autopilot included as standard:

1) Standard Range Plus
2) Dual Motor Long Range
3) Dual Motor Performance

The blog doesn't mention Autopilot for off-the-menu order so it's best to assume that it is not included.

I believe the $35K SR including Autopilot was an error caused by Tesla moving quickly without putting all of the details in place. I have no idea how they are going to handle all of the orders they have taken so far that have stated Autopilot is included. Here is the latest article from Consumer Reports confirming AP is NOT included in the $35K SR model.

Thanks so much for confirming!

Relevant lines from the article for anyone interested:

Even though Tesla says on its website, “All Tesla vehicles now come with Autopilot bundled as a standard feature,” the company confirmed with CR that the $35,000 Standard Range version will not come with Autopilot, maintaining its entry-level price.

Several articles indicated that Tesla spokesmen told them the same thing.

Tesla contacted us this morning to say that in fact you can get a $35,000 Model 3 with no autopilot ...

AZ Phone rep said they would send it to order modify ops. Once they change the order I'm hoping it will be $35K w/ AP like others in this thread.

Just in case I added AP from the web page to my SR+ order, if the price doesn't update I'll ask them to take it off b/f delivery and take my chances.... Fingers crossed... Good bye CPO MS option

Elon promised a 35K car which would be safe. 35k includes AP since AP is standard. Autobraking/ Safety is standard will be a fed rule in 2020 I believe

Yes but you don’t need TACC and autosteer to have AEB.

 

[vickh]

Yes but you don’t need TACC and autosteer to have AEB.

So AEB is included without AP?

Correct. All Model 3’s have AEB, Lane Departure Warning, and Blind Spot Monitoring. It’s part of their standard safety features and unrelated to AP or FSD.

So now we have ‘all’ like ‘is’? JFC. This is crazy. They clearly said ‘all csrs’ Guess they meant all cars on the website menu. But good grief, people will think all means all.

That's why they took the base SR 'off menu' though. It's effectively a 'custom' configuration, thus not subject to 'all'... For what it's worth people getting miffed over the base SR not having AP is really annoying since we all know Tesla is losing money on the base SR and is just selling a few of them so they can check the proverbial box. Seriously guys, even the SR+ (which I received on Monday) is a phenomenal car for the money. The technology that you are getting on the drive-train and batteries is second to none.

The price is 38k with AP. None of poll choices are xorreco

35k, no AP is..


None of AP poll choices are xorreco

I have a similar question though, what if you have a non AP reserved SR+ prior to the increase?

Well, I could argue that the price decreased if you planned to purchase an SR+ with AP. If you don’t want AP then maybe just go with the SR. It’s a great deal at $35K.

if you have a non AP reserved SR+ prior to the increase, do you get AP at $?

I can answer the i think. I was a non AP SR+, and I called yesterday to enquire about price adjustments. I was told I couldn't stick with what I have and get the -$500 paint adjustment (MSM went from $1500 to $1000), I'd have to go up to the SR+/AP which would have increased my buy price by $1500. Not huge in the grand scheme of things, but I decided the relative value of the SR base was compelling enough to go ahead with a downgrade. In sum:

SR+ old price/no AP/MSM: $39k
SR+ new price/AP/MSM: $40.5k
SR/no AP/MSM: $36k

And I chose the third option. Saving $3k and keeping the partial premium interior seems compelling, even if it's without heated seats.
