Done! I just changed my order. Hopefully my delivery date doesn’t shock me with regret. I got the old pricing too

Done!Let's just do this together man.... Gonna upgrade to the P.YOLO. I've gone through about 30 cars between me and the wife in our life, and have never owned the top tier trim before.
Me and the wife the same. This is the first top trim I’ll ever own! Good luck.
I ordered my Red/White M3P a few weeks before the price increase. I believe the M3P was raised 3,000 from when I ordered to a few days later. I just checked the configuration tool at the price of the car is now 65,990 as configured. Mine is 61,990. I could have sworn that when I checked last week that same configuration was 64,990.
The price went up again last week.
I absolutely love my Model 3, but with the price increases, coupled with the fact that it has become our primary family car with gas price increases and my wife's MB GLE350 getting a whopping 16 mpg on premium - I'm strongly considering reserving a Model Y at this point and using what should now be equity from my 3 to trade in for it - as I got my Model 3 LR at 50k (was a left-over 2021 demo in December)
Dang, I should see what my SR+ is worth now. In 2019 it was $39,990, after the $3,750 tax credit we only paid $36,240. Some folks were buying SRs off menu for $35k less the $3,750 tax credit, $31,250. I went for the SR+ for the included Autopilot, heated seats, fog lights and 20 miles of extra range. It is hard to believe only 3 years later the same car with a little extra range is now $47k plus delivery.
While it may be good for resale I am actually disappointed that pricing is going in the wrong direction. The car itself is decent but it becomes hard to justify paying a huge premium for this vehicle over a quality economy ICE based vehicle. I mean you can buy two Toyota Corolla Hybrids for the price of an M3 SR now.

Wow...16? I shouldn't complain too much then. I get 15 on a loaded down Tacoma with a 2" lift using 87 octane.
The thing is just an absolute pig, and most of her driving is stop and go around town. Its rated at I think 22 hwy/18 city and we've never gotten anywhere near that. On the bright side, we've learned to get by on less space in a car as a family of 4 with the Model 3, even planning to take on a road trip from Cincinnati to Charleston SC in July.
We had been looking at getting rid of it, but really struggling with what to replace it with because we very rarely have to have two cars. That said, I still like having the utility of an SUV when we need to go pick something up. I feel like if we just sold her SUV and replaced it with a small second car that only gets driven when necessary, we'd be missing out too much on utility. If I were to trade in and get a bit of extra towards the Y though, that would open us up to where we could literally get anything for a second car.
@raptor5244 Buying two Corolla hybrids won't make either of them as fun as a Model 3.
If cars are just transportation appliances to you though then I agree, Model 3 pricing would be difficult to justify over a hybrid Corolla or Prius or such. You have assign some value to the fundamental EV benefits, and/or to it being much more satisfying to drive.
True, although this may be the first Corolla that is actually fun to drive. 300hp, AWD with a manual.@raptor5244 Buying two Corolla hybrids won't make either of them as fun as a Model 3.

Oh yeah that one looks like legit fun. With 3 LSDs including a center diff that can fully lock it's a shoe-in for an STI or Evo.True, although this may be the first Corolla that is actually fun to drive. 300hp, AWD with a manual.

But no way will you be buying 2 of those for the price of a Model 3. Not anytime soon at least, and not the good version with the full set of limited slips.
Ford Maverick Hybrid? Small pickup that gets 40/33mpg, MSRP $22k-32k, but hard to find.
Toyota Sienna Hybrid? Van that gets 36/36mpg (35/36mpg with AWD) and more usable space than most SUVs.
Or sell the GLE350 if you do not really need another car and rent a van or pickup as needed.

argghh! They won't let me do it. I even called and texted them again and they said pricing would change to current pricing. Why does everyone there all have different info.

Did You try to change it online? That’s what I did and it gave me the old pricing before I accepted the change.

It didn't give me an option to change.
But I'm out of town and of course they assign my VIN for the LR the day I start vacation. I think that's why. I'm gonna give up this VIN and see if I can change it to a P after.

Oh man. Yeah that makes sense. Since you already have a VIN it’s not letting you change. Good luck and I hope you get to change with the old pricing. Keep us updated.

Shows $275 (US) and out-of-stock in the Tesla store. Wonder if this is a temporary change just so they can keep shipping cars?
