Nice!!!

Cost of normal dual motor AWD option is $5k. Range is also 310 miles. Takes 0-60mph to 4.5 sec & top speed to 140 mph.


DISAPPOINTED - Dual motor upgrade same as Model S :-(. Should have been less on Model 3.

Why? The second motor is the same as in the S, why would it be cheaper than in the S?

 

[WierdMobile]

If my math is correct, $78k for AWD+P is $26.5k more than a non-black RWD LR+PUP with sport wheels. Not terribly unreasonable.

My guess:
Base: $35k
LR: $9k
Premium: $5k
AWD: $5k
Paint: $1k
20" Wheels: $3k
Performance: $20k

Don't get me wrong. I am buying it .

Wish - it was a bit less than what we paid for on model S.

 

[TheSuit]

It should not be that expensive - stupid move. Really disappointed at how they are pricing things. Loyalty for Tesla is fading

What about the configurator?

 

[MXWing]

To keep things in perspective, Tesla burns like $8,000 per minute and expenditures is greater than the GDP of developed nations.

They really need to sell anything they can for as much as they can.

My 100D does it in 4.1. That's better if my math is correct.

I thought he said it would be less than the MS awd upgrade :/

I think he's referring to cost

 

[chickensworth]

slower and less expensive than I expected... such an anti-climax.

 

[jsmay311]

"top speed to 140 mph" is an interesting way of saying "top speed is the same as RWD".

I suppose he could mean SR+AWD will have a 140mph top speed vs the SR+RWD 130mph.

that's not Elon. It's a spammer.

I think everyone with an invite will be able to configure the new options. Hopefully the ramp for the new options will be fast. Performance version is pure profit so plenty of incentive to make those quickly. Priority will be same as the invites (employee > owners > first in line)
Final predictions?
AWD $4k no range improvement
Performance $15k more than AWD, 3.5s 0-60, bigger brakes (awesome), staggered tires (dumb), no LSD, nothing else fancy, maybe 1/2 inch lower with different suspension tuning.

Well I got the 0-60 right and the range. Haha. Way off on price!
Going to be tough to beat a BMW M3 without an LSD and ceramic brakes. That would be quite an achievement.

 

[Garlan Garner]

oh...ok

Where is the $98k price that you had inside info about?

I am disappointed about the price since he said that it would be less than 5K.

As far as the 0-60mph 4.5sec and you have to remember that Tesla usually under rates their cars. Plus they could do an update in the future and give a few tenths.

As far as the performance version I wounder how much is the base one.

 

[Knightshade]

Performance model: $83K with EAP.

$13Kover budget. No thank you. Will stick with AWD.

The NON performance AWD seems the sweet spot though- 5k more for dropping 0-60 to 4.5 from 5.1 (both official #s anyway)... paying another 20k on top for the P to go from 4.5 to 3.5 seems pretty nuts (and I say that as someone who has owned cars that did 0-60 in under 4 in the past)... but BMW seems to sell plenty of M3s so obviously there's a market there.
