Read and reread my earlier reply. Leave this thread alone until someone can put something that is either an Elon tweet, or a clear and concise confirmation either way on company letterhead.
Now, Perscitus is going to reply - "I read, re-read, and re-reread..." lol
But yes, I agree with dave999z. I believe Perscitus was trying to be funny, but didn't do a good job at it...or he's serious but has nothing to back up the claim.
The fact it may be limited to pre-January 2019 M3 AWDs makes the claim more credible. We received the short end (or the long end depending on how you look at it) considering the direction that P3D pricing has gone in since. It was a 10k difference between I made the call to go non-p. Fingers crossed on this one - still no track mode, brembos, 20in rims (or red underline) for those like myself that would buy this in a heartbeat.

Respectfully disagree. Posts like @Perscitus below give Model 3 owners like myself who are chomping at the bit for this to happen some hope. Could it be blowing smoke? Sure. But it's still nice for me to read that I have a sliver of hope that what I consider my biggest mistake with my car (purchasing when I did and without Performance trim) might be able to be rectified. For those tired of the back and forth and theorizing that goes on here, i can respectfully suggest you simply unsubscribe from the thread - easy as that. If it happens, I'm sure you'll hear about it elsewhere. If it doesn't you don't need to put up with us hope-heathens who cling to every non-credible piece of info we get.

Buy the car you want, and don't pin your hopes on some guy from the forum's neighbor's friend's kid's teacher's father-in-law's coworker's uncle who works for Tesla being right about a rumor.

Many who are hoping for this upgrade are doing so because they either could not afford (my case) or did not want to pay an additional $11,000 back in 2018 for the Performance upgrade (also my case). I did not care much about the 20" wheels, spoiler, suspension or brake differences, I just wanted the speed increase. I could not justify $11,000 for that and it would have pushed me considerably past my budget, which the LR AWD was comfortably within.Buy the car you want, and don't pin your hopes on some guy from the forum's neighbor's friend's kid's teacher's father-in-law's coworker's uncle who works for Tesla being right about a rumor.
I went with a friend on Saturday to pick up his gorgeous Performance Model 3 and guess what? He paid less than I did overall. So while I love my car, and let's be honest, it's plenty fast, I really wish I had waited a few months for the price drops and purchased at today's prices. I'd have a performance 3 and some more money in my pocket.

Same. I purchased mine at the end of June and the gap was as you describe. Two weeks later the P3D- was available for the same price I paid for my LR AWD. Oh well, BOHICA.

I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. I certainly hope the rumors are true, allowing you to reverse your earlier decision-making, with as little financial consequences as possible.
i think people that bought in q2 of 2019 got the worst end of the deal here: 2 weeks later these p3d- showed up for basically the same price haha team #feelsbadman.jpg
of course i jest, i know we're still ok and ive been purposely trying to avoid and not post in this thread until something materializes. ill follow up in a bit when I get more info

Just cam across this Some lucky Aussies are getting free upgrades to Model 3 Performance Stealth - techAU that stings. Should have just waited before I bought my AWD.
Jeez, that article has a lot of faults to it, such as the reduced range and battery pack size vs LR AWD.

Not at all! I just disagreed with some of your posts, as you did mine.
Disagreement without rebuttal is a barrier to good discussion.
Thank you for your well wishes.
