How many people do you think ordered a PM3 and didn’t join this forum? When you look at the tracking log there isn’t very many of us.

Any US Model 3 Performance deliveries in 2019?

Hang in there! It does appear that they are finally producing 2019 performance models. So it should be any time now ...
I'm hoping it will be soon for me, though I'm in Canada. It is the same production line configuration.

Got a call from my sales center, there is an identical 2018 demo model (VIN 082257) available with 2000 miles on it. They offered a discount of $2420 from my 2019 new price. Not sure what to do...what would any of you do?
I ordered Performance 3, pearl white, white interior, AP and FSD for $69000.
The demo is a 2018 with 2000 miles, Performance 3, pearl white, white interior, AP (no FSD), $61580
Add $5000 FSD purchase to the demo to compare apples to apples, and we're at $69k for my ordered car vs $66580 for the demo, difference of $2420.

For me personally, if I don't knew what's happened in those 2000 miles I'm not sure if I would jump on it. But, it's a very individual decision and you may feel differently.

I passed on a $2700-discounted 3P that was used for test drives and had <300 miles on it (2018 model).
There are also rumors that HW3 is imminent on newly produced models.. we’ll see very soon!

I'd ask if they can give me the $2000 FSD upgrade available until Monday, then it's a difference of $5420 which seems pretty worthwhile for only 2k of miles on the thing.
Some people are getting free paint ($2500 for MCR) for 2018 new inventory 3s. So unless the car just had delivery miles, I’d pass as well. IMO better deals will be offered later in the month.

Mine ends in 231154 so not sure how close that is to
Another way to look at it is how many are prepared to pay an extra $10k for just that extra kick in performance over the standard dual motor version or lower and what percentage does the P make up of total Model 3 sales. All I know is I've been treated like a king in terms of ordering and they've moved my pick up forwards to as early as tomorrow so going to get mine on Friday at noon. Been a pleasure hanging out with you fellow performance guys salivating with anticipation the last week or two.

Friday pick up 12pm, can't wait. It's only because of you guys I ordered so soon expecting maybe this wouldn't arrive til mid-April or worse and it will have been about 10 days. Given those still waiting it's something that Tesla need to address as much though I love what feels like some priority service here, it seems to be total luck and an element of location. Probably because Florida is full of so many oldies I'm going to be the only P3D driver in the entire state haha

It's more than just the extra kick in performance. We get larger wheels, a lowered suspension, larger brake calipers, a carbon fiber spoiler, and... track mode!
While those may not to amount to even half the $10k in cost, I think the gap in value between non-perf AWD and performance models is more than justified -- as opposed to, say, the difference in price between 100D and P100D where all you're getting is the extra acceleration and the spoiler (no track mode, no lowered suspension, no larger brakes) at a much wider price difference. Heck, even P100D vs P100DL is whopping $15k for just the extra 0.6 second acceleration to 60mph!!
But of course that's just me, as someone coming from a P85D who paid a handsome amount over the 85D, AND paid Tesla another $5000 for Ludicrous (half what later models charged), I personally think $10k for the performance version of the 3 over the non-perf AWD is a bargain, given all the goodies included.

Well well, things seem to be moving super fast for me!
Ordered on Monday, got the VIN yesterday (Tuesday) morning, and I just got a text that delivery is scheduled for this Friday morning
Sadly I’m leaving the country for a week, so I asked to defer till the following weekend.

AWD and RWD get the same power boost FYI per Elon a few days ago

Yep, there’s more margin in those to boost even higher. I’m happy to hear they can do the same for the 3P, given they’re the same motors as the non-P AWD and I was under the impression that they were already pushing them to their limits.
