Downgrade SR+ and get $2000 back?
- Thread starter Retaw
- Start date
Question to everybody.
Since I was on my 7 days window Tesla is giving me actually 2 options:
1) 1500 reimbursement to move to an SR
2) Have a "discount" on the autopilot and pay it 2000USD and keep the SR+ version (basically i would end up paying the SR+ 39,500 like the "new" SR+).
Opinions are more than welcome.
Thank you

Is your commute with stop and go traffic? Do do go on long trips? If yes, then get the Autopilot.

What do you mean by the 7 day window? You emailed asking for a downgrade within the first 7 days of delivery? I wonder if they would offer $1,000 off AP if I asked about downgrading now... I'd take the AP any day of the week.

The difference is $3500.
You get $1500 or spend $2000...
I am inclined to use AP for longer trips rather than daily commuting because my commute is only 12 miles each way.
On longer trips on the freeway it is nice to have AP but the phantom braking always surprised me.
If I were in your shoes, I would lean toward getting $1500 back, especially if you aren't planning to sell the car any time soon.
If you plan to sell the car within 3 years or so, having the AP will definitely get you higher bid so you will get at least half of $2000 back.

Hi yes, I received the car lees than 7 days from the announcement the SR was going to be an SR+ software limited so I called and I asked for downgrade and I was told it would happen, so I asked if I had to return the car and was told no. Note: I’m not complaining about Tesla, I think they didn’t need to offer a reimbursement, but they did, so it’s a good problem to have a choice.

No AP. I had free trial for about 40 days.
I took delivery in the 1st Qtr like you.
I like the acceleration too much that I cannot give it up now. At least that is what the dopamine addicted pleasure center of my brain is telling me.
They did for like a month, then released a 150 km version on May 1st to get the Federal 5k rebate. Though, at the same time Tesla increased the overall price of the Model 3 which counters 70% or more of the rebate. So, there wasn't much to gain out of the rebate for future owners. Meanwhile, some people have mentioned if they wanted to downgrade from SR+ to SR they will get the 150 km version instead of the 220 mi, so well played by Tesla.
Did they increase the price or add more standard features? I.e. Make AP standard. In the US they actually lowered the cost when doing that as long as you were going to get AP.
