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

[MXWing]

Are you including the cost of the inverter, cabling, half shafts, differential, reduction gears, different suspension, etc. in that figure?

Tesla’s cogs are irrelevant. It could be $1.50 - nothing matters until they can turn a profit on the entire business.

 

[ForeverFree]

My guess = 1:35.

Final bug squashes & tweaks ...

@2170pwr

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

There's still a chance. We're currently looking at $78k without EAP or FSD. Add those, and the car is $86k. Now, perhaps there's a $10k or $12k Ludicrous option that Elon has failed to mention... $96k-$98k with ALL checkboxes ticked.

We share the same model year and name for our Model S.

And we both live in NJ

 

[commasign]

At $78k, M3P is just $3k more than a base Model S. Or really a bit less since you’d have to add paint and upgraded wheels on the S to be a closer comparison. Hmmm...

Nope....not going for it. He should have said that. Too late.

Oh you disagree that Tesla is should be allowed to be profitable?

Well that looks to me like an easy decision.

Now Now.....its still a good day. lol

We're 21 pages in tonight with no snipe or moderator. We can set a record.

The 20" Wheels should only cost $2,000. (In the store they cost $500 more than the 19" Sport wheels.) So that makes the Performance package cost $21k.

If the same wheels, that's a $1K difference, but, the $78K includes the carbon fiber spoiler as well.

5k for AWD? Not a good day unfortunately - Elon broke his word on that one. 29k extra for performance? Just silly

That carbon fiber spoiler looks like a glue ( peel and stick ) on. What is that ?...$100? lol

Don't worry - Tesla branded Voice Command Activated Keyboard is coming soon.

Its not just performance. There is a lot included in that package....right?

I think the S one costed $1k back then when it was an option. Not sure.

How do you calculate 29K extra for performance?

 

[Ofarlig]

By the time the Model 3 gets over here air suspension should be available as well... So the question then becomes, should I sell my then 1 ish year old S75D for a fully loaded Performance 3? Hard choices...

It's "only" 20k for the performance, if you were already planning to add AWD and the other options (paint and bigger wheels) anyway.

still seems an insane amount extra to knock 1 second off the 0-60, but I suppose that thinking is why I'm in an IS350 instead of an IS-F presently- still the roughly half second improvement for 5k for "non-P" AWD is likely going to entice me assuming when they update delivery dates it's not going to push it late enough to lose half the tax credit.

49K to 78K (which includes dual motor ) ......Its not all performance.
