Total waste of money in my opinion. I spend far more time at home, work and outside than I do in my car. Just a gimmick in my humble opinion.

Possibly with the exception of Ludicrous mode and/or the autopilot feature. Both of which to my understanding is a digital bit-flip on appropriately spec'ed / built cars?Ironically, I bet the HEPA filter has one of the highest profit margins of all the options.

Tesla is trying to make safe cars, but you have to draw a line somewhere. Every other car on the planet does not have this feature, and people are doing just fine without it.
It may be too expensive to invest in alternate tooling to make this happen. It will be an add-on which will increase the "fully loaded" cost. You can't expect every single feature on the S to be available in some form or another on the 3, or else you'd end up with a 3 that cost over $100k. Some features need to be reserved for different cars in the manufacturer's lineup. No other car company offers, as paid options, everything that makes the next car up better, because then what's the point in buying the more expensive car?
"It's bigger and some people like a bigger car" is not an acceptable response. There will be features and stuff on the S that the 3 does not have and will never have.
Safety is a noble cause, sure. But in the end, Tesla needs to make money, and something superfluous and not really needed is this HEPA filter. You want it? Buy the more expensive car. I suspect this will just be one of many neat features you won't find on the 3 in order to justify an S purchase.
Tesla will reserve some features for the S/X line only.
At this point it is impossible for the ≡ to pull customers from the S or X. The reverse is far more likely.
Thank you kindly.
I'm skeptical of that argument. We're leasing a Model S until the 3 comes out, and then plan to trade it in for a 3. The main reason being that the S is much larger than our needs dictate and the 3 will be a lot more practical and just as much fun.
You are an example of exactly what I am talking about. You caused the production of a Model S, because you are waiting for the Model ≡. Tesla doesn't count that as a loss. That is selling two cars instead of one.
Thank you kindly.
Driving through the California Central Valley, it'll be invaluable for clearing out the stink of all dairy/beef factory farms. .
And I'm more than happy to serve that role for Tesla ;-). However I fully expect people who might have bought an S, to get a 3 instead, especially city dwellers.
Anyone seriously considering a Model S now is not going to wait until 2021 for a Model ≡.
Thank you kindly.
I don't think I ever said they would.
Then I am totally confused about what you were trying to say in msg 28.
Thank you kindly.
It's pretty simple.
I'm skeptical of that argument.
