Have we even been able to confirm this yet? I think something has been lost in translation.

FYI I ordered online about 8AM PST, Apr 1/2016.

Did you get your email today? Or did you notice via F5?

 

[sooner]

Was able to order. August 26 2016 reservation. Now to wait for delivery.

 

[diplomat33]

I can design my Model 3 now!

 

[avarkey]

I ordered online in August 2017 (second reservation) and can configure now with any of the option.

 

[MikeyJS]

I reserved July 2017 and have access as well. It says 3 - 5 months for both RW and Dual Motor, and 2 - 4 months for Performance

 

[ord3r]

I reserved July 2017 as well after second reveal. Same deal as mike, 3-5 months for rw/awd and 2 -4 months for long range. Order placed.

February 2018 reservation. Able to design now. Holy cow. Was not expecting this. Ugh is this kind of a bait and switch deal? I guess they are showing good faith to allow everyone to get grandfathered into the connectivity package but it also makes people lose $3500 if they end up having to change their mind before delivery!

Reserved June 2017

So this means that we'll get the unlimited Internet too. They took care of people

Except those who can’t afford anything but the standard range :/

I guess, then again unlimited internet for 10 years at 100$ per year is $1,000 bucks. Put that in perspective with the other options and it isn't a massive thing. Ended up splurging 4k for the AWD, could not justify another 5k for autopilot.

 

[ChrisH]

Interestingly it is saying I would get the $7500 credit with delivery in 3-5 months....

Me: *frantically trying to get hold of spouse to confirm details, as I'd not discussed pricing changes over the last 2 days*
Me: *finally gets through*
Wife: I don't care. Do what you want.
Me: You mean you're pissed and you don't want me to order anything????
Wife: No, I don't care. Do what you want.

Alrighty then!!!! ......selects Performance w/2-4mo delivery.......gut checks....selects LR 3-5mo....gut checks,again.....AWD 3-5mo.......antes up another $2500.

P.S. Bonus drama: Amex, in wife's name, got rejected by a fraud trigger. I had to switch CC to mine mid-operation, no time to wait for her to figure it out.

Standard range was always advertised as 35k, and still will be hopefully. I'm not one to pity someone begging for a government handout on a luxury vehicle.
