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

[McRat]

Has Jaguar done that? Honest question, I have not followed.
It is like more of a crossover, no?

They let hundreds of press drivers road race them around a track in Portugal at WOT. No brake or cooling problems.

It's new kind of layout. A cab-forward AWD crossover with 396hp. But it's also very, very good off-road and in snow. It climbs like a goat, and crosses 500mm of water.

Mine will be built in 28 days.

Yeah, the rotors are bigger.

Wish I would have seen that pic 3 months ago.

I think I will commit to the Jaguar unless Tesla can prove it's a real performance car, not just a 0-60 mph car.

The software, service and charging infrastructure make up the guts of the Tesla ownership as much as any performance.

That’s a big assumption and leap of faith Jaguar matches Tesla support and their is sufficient consistency across there service centers.

If Elon Musk is correct, it will be easier to buy a Model P3D a year from now than it will be to buy a Jaguar i-Pace.

If I don't like the i-Pace, and demand is good, I won't lose any money, but even if I lose $20k, I've been waiting way over 2 years for a P3D. $20k doesn't cover 2 years depreciation.

There is still no real information on the P3D. And Tesla is not big into 3rd party reviews.

Besides 6/15/2018 was Commit date.

Brake rotors look larger too

First thing I noticed (after the red calipers and white interior!) but wasn’t sure.

Commit date as in you are now out substantial money?

Max loss I think is 2500 backing out of delivery on Model 3? I’ve not made it that far.

No, I can legally get my money back, all of it. I cannot alter my configuration choices. But I shook hands. My word is good. It was more than $3500 which I think is what you lose if you order a Tesla and refuse delivery.

 

[MP3Mike]

Now THAT would make a lot of folks happy!

It would also make a lot of people unhappy.

Wonder if there is gonna be some bling that will differentiate the AWD/Performance model from the LR commoner vehicles. There's gotta be something that will show show off that I got the more fancy AWD/Perf model..

Perhaps a thick cloud of smug?

Yeah, it's so ugly. I finally sprung for the P last night with the debundling of 20" wheels and price drops. Taking that terrible badging off will be one of the first things I do when I get my car!

 

[xhawk101]

Just confirmed p, maxed out with performance package, fsd and autopilot. Will replace my S.

 

[lg_golfs]

Got my AWD drive invite Wednesday. Will wait a few months to see if any more information released about when they might start leasing the 3.

With my currently extended lease expiring late November I might be caught in a few month gap.

If this was the event that Forbes magazine attended then travel costs for some journalists were covered by Jaguar. Perhaps that is typical for a new car roll-out like this but I don't think Tesla would do the same.
I'm looking forward to owner reviews of the Jag, including yours. I'd love to have a solid EV SUV that can be taken off-road.

Yeah, not a big fan of it either. I would much rather have the T E S L A lettering on the back like Franz's 3 and the Roadsters. Maybe @ryanjm can work some of his magic. I bet Elon's in a good mood today. If I could get that, some Arachnids and a heated steering wheel, I'd be pretty darn happy myself. (I'm pretty much there, either way. )

Aftermarket companies already have lettering like that available. I believe it is Abstract Ocean. Of course, coming from the factory that way would be preferable, but otherwise it's not that difficult or costly of an install for DIY.

Could you provide the link to Franz's car please?
