No way. Tesla won't downgrade for ones who already pass the return period.

I'm cancelling my Model Y pre-order if they can't figure this out. After all they never reward the most enthusiastic customers.
So does anyone have any idea about whether it is 5.3s or 5.6s 0-60mph on SR? It seems really weird to me that they put heated front seats, all Plus speakers, and potentially 5.3s into SR (which are NEVER promised and easily software disabled!), annoying all customers that paid more. Makes no business sense.

Of course they can't software limit to a cloth seat. But seat heater, speakers, and acceleration? They are very easy to limit and not in the original SR spec sheet at all.This is like the S40. It wasn't worth them continuing to offer the S40, so they met initial orders with a software-limited S60.
In the case of the S40 it was demand v production capacity, but here I'd suggest it's largely driven by an inability to lower production cost enough.
They've kept it hanging around off menu to allow people who'd ordered it to get one, but I expect it to disappear entirely soon.
If they can't offer the SR at volume, then there's no point dealing with all the issues that come with installing a different seat.
Originally just want to support the company and not taking delivery soon. No support any more if they can't figure those out and essentially lie to the customers, first time about (Partial) Premium interior and second time about downgrade option.Unless you want the most expensive and buggy version of the Model Y, there is no reason to pre-order. Those who wait will get one for less money that has some of the kinks worked out. Other than the first couple of months selling the LR RWD Model 3, there was little priority given to preorders or any other type of seniority in a given market.
I love my SR+...but it’s insane how many “fanboys” are defending them.
How can they not get their s*** together? They put in their blog you can get a refund and now no one can?!
I’m no business expert, but it literally appears that certain departments at Tesla have no idea what’s going on here.
I was going to preorder a Model Y, but I’ll wait a year or two after it’s released...because I’m sure history will repeat itself.
As more and more average people are getting their Teslas, expectations will be different, their tolerance level are not the same as the fanboys. Tesla can't continue their current process and expect everyone to act like a fanboy and tolerate everything. I hate that when fanboys come out and say they lost alot of money too when Tesla dropped the price, why are SR+ owners complaining. IT HAS LITTLE TO DO WITH PRICE. It has EVERYTHING to do with the initial presentation of SR vs SR+ that convinced us to buy SR+ instead of SR. Elon himself even commented that SR+ is a better deal 9% extra range for 6% extra money better interior, etc. I have no issue with Tesla dropping price on SR+ with autopilot, but I have an issue with the misleading information and lack of communication.
I agree with you that 35k models are going away, as I've told my friends, buy them now before they go away.SR+ got exactly what they paid for.
35K SR is getting canned. It's not a matter of it but when. And I bet when could be as early as May 1st.
Tesla I am speculating had to make a very difficult 11th hour board room decision. Numbers not exact but its to convey a point:
A.) Spend 40K to build a car with cloth seats, solid roof, etc that sells for 35K
B.) Spend 35K to build a 3SR+ and sell it for 35K to a 3SR customer.
SR+ purchasers would rather Tesla go with option A so they can feel better about their purchase?

Amen. I bought SR+ and spent hours debating/talking/discussing this decision with my wife. The decision would have been much easier if I knew how close the specs were going to be in the end.As a SR+ owner, I don't want Tesla losing money, I want Tesla to thrive and eventually change the world with me playing a small part in it. I have no issue with people getting SR as it currently stands, it's a great deal, and I encourage people to buy it now. My problem is the announcement of SR+ with SR distinction back in February. I had my eyes set on SR for 3 years now, I would not have bought SR+ without that announcement.
...Not all SR+ customers will be asking for the discount, so they should just try to analyze what makes sense to do from a financial standpoint. I would probably offer $500 to any SR+ owner who placed their order after the SR was added to the online configurator, without actually downgrading them...
Agree, for instance I would be ok not getting money back but having SR with autopilot instead of SR+. To me autopilot > (heated seats + less range), I don’t need any if the above features but if I have to choose I’ll go with the autopilot. Actually Tesla would make an additional 500USD with me. even better if they make it even, at the end they would not lose money with me
If they won’t downgrade I won't buy the autopilot. It’s just a matter of business in my case
