Elon says AWD and Perf orders start at end of next week!

[Garlan Garner]

This will be Tesla's first "Performance" intro, in a coil version.
Some two cent trivia. The jump ball, to me, is whether we see more power to the rear.

Indeed. PM in the rear.....that's a model S motor.

 

[Garlan Garner]

Say what, the whole world uses Fahrenheit?
And week starts on Sunday?
Monday is the first day of the week according to the international standard ISO 8601

Who cares now.

Today is the day.

You mean the induction one right?

 

[Bruin1996]

So Elon will be opening up orders for dual motor and performance Model 3 tonight to Tesla/SpaceX employees first probably? I hope I am not too far behind being a Model S owner and a line waiter on 3/31/16.

 

[EfficientWatts]

Yes...Induction in the front ( the current Model 3 motor ) AND Permanent Magnet in the rear ( the current Model S motor ).

That's the performance version:

He didn't mention anything about AWD.

you have the cars reversed. induction front, PM rear (model s motor front, model 3 motor rear)

 

[Garlan Garner]

Its almost time!!!!!!

 

[SomeJoe7777]

Yes...Induction in the front ( the current Model 3 motor ) AND Permanent Magnet in the rear ( the current Model S motor ).

Current Model 3 motor is PMSR.

Current Model S motors are induction.

 

[Garlan Garner]

you have the cars reversed. induction front, PM rear (model s motor front, model 3 motor rear)

I'm too excited.....I'm going to get a lot backwards tonight......except for my order if it is ready. Its the end of the week.

I thought the original P85 came out before air suspension.

I never thought I’ll say this, but I am actually getting excited about this performance version! I have a S and decided to skip the model 3 when the final specs was released. Now, he just named off everything I wanted in a model 3 that didn’t exist. White interior, 20’ wheels and a spoiler!... oh you know this is gonna be expensive

 

[NathanielHrnblwr]

I'd love the performance 3, but it'll be a significant jump in cost. I'm betting nearly $100k. I've held off for AWD and am excited to order!

Spoiler alert!

 

[Garlan Garner]

$98K will be the price. I can't say how I know.

Doesn't matter at this point......there are no prizes or contests going on.


Adding over $60K from the base price? That would be unbelievable.

 

[D3xDt3Reaction]

$98K will be the price. I can't say how I know.

If that’s the case it will be an easy decision for me - 98k would be well beyond my squeal point.

 

[kbM3]

Ouch!

Edit: Might be just as well. I would’ve been tempted had it been less than $80,000.
