They knocked $5k off the price for picking Aero wheels w/o PUP so the starting price of a P3D- is $49990. Midnight Silver paint is a $1k option.

I really do hope there's an option for at least previous AWD purchasers to uncork at a reasonable cost. Given the recent price cuts it would seem that it wouldn't be an insane cost. At this point it's a no-lose situation for Tesla because we're willing to throw even more money at Tesla.
If they do present it as an option, it would be cool if they had a "try before you buy". Have a one-time-only, 15 minute uncorking trial. I imagine that after that people would be happy to pay to keep it.

Some comments on reddit are saying the new P3D- cars don't include track mode or a higher top speed. That would be an interesting differentiator.

Yeah, I kind of like the "try it, you'll like it..." approach - but doubt that will happen. Someday, I can see a "for fee" option showing up on our account page...

I would be totally fine with that. Honestly, I just love the feeling of getting pushed back in the seat -- that's all I want.

I would be fine with this as well - if it's priced appropriately/accordingly (and takes into account the devaluation hit we took yesterday
) So many qualifiers....

I am trying to not be annoyed by this, but I am. I paid $51.9k for a LR AWD MSM/white with 18" aeros 6 weeks ago. Today I can buy that same trim with Performance capabilities for the same price.
I bought that same car, but with FSD, less than three weeks ago - $2,200 less today (price)...

VP3DAre we back to the notion that a P is all software? Not sure I agree 100%....
If not, what is this. Virtual P?!

I paid $61.7 last year for the exact same car...

Congratulations, you got a great deal. If they do a discounted upgrade it should be for the people that ordered before January or whenever the big price adjustments happened.

So you paid $61,500 which means after tax rebate it was $54,000
I paid $55,700 but with my tax rebate I paid $51,950.
I got 19" wheels but you got EAP while I only got AP.
And now my car after smaller rebate would be ball parky $2000 cheaper than what I paid.
There is definitely a cost for being an early adapter!

Hah now the P3D+ costs the same as I paid for my AWD back in Dec. Oh that waiting game.

** - $5,250 for difference in Fed Tax Credit
I've had mine 10 months (price difference is even fuzzier than factoring Fed Tax Credit). Price of nearly one year ahead of the curve and the enjoyment I've had over that time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think Tesla would rather you buy a new P3D- versus selling you an uncorking. That would be another car sold under their belt. Making them look good for the investors.
Nice! I ordered in July (AWD MSM, no EAP/FSD) and took delivery at the end of September. I just did a similar calculation and you are correct, the effective pricing now really isn't all that different.

Except I can't imagine a measurable number of LR AWD owners buying a new P+ or P- car a year after they bought their cars, especially when their car just depreciated because of the price drop and they already used their Federal incentive.
Tesla would make way more money by allowing the extra performance to be added via IAP or other form of unlocking because more people would do it. Plus, it costs Tesla nothing in overhead, manufacturing, etc. It's literally changing a zero to a one.
