I play a nice person on twitter.
The disappointment with this announcement was likely due to the fact that Tesla seemed to imply that this would be a 3-row vehicle (standard) and if you wanted to have a 3rd row, you now had to pay extra. But considering that not everyone wanted a 3rd row, it makes sense to have it as a paid-for option.
Alternatively, you can view bypassing the third row as getting a discount off the standard price. All in the perspective .
