How many of you are waiting for the Performance Model 3?

[Garlan Garner]

I'm waiting.

+1 to this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Really? Over an all aluminum Roadter 2? You KNOW that only the most dangerous motorcycles will beat it!

 

[Darryl]

I will be waiting to order two Performance Model 3's.

 

[Jersey Shore Tom]

Umm..... what?

While I can't speak for azred, if I publicly referred to my wife as "the little lady", I suspect my next reference to her would be "ex-wife".

 

[Jersey Shore Tom]

Waiting for Ludicrous. Or more correctly, ludicrously waiting for Ludicrous.

I just hope the price isn't completely ludicrous.

I could go on but that would be . . .

I'm waiting for a redesigned performance S with a real performance suspension.

The model S will still be a very heavy large sedan. The model 3 is zoomier. The 3 going to handle better than the S, which will make you guys sad.

The S is grandpa's caddy. Fast in a straight line. Drivers want the 3

 

[S4WRXTTCS]

I certainly am.

I haven't reserved yet, but that's mostly because I have no idea when the performance version will be available.

Plus it has to have a heated steering wheel. I figure if it's a performance version then it should have a good suspension setup. If it has a good suspension setup then I want to steer. If I'm steering then warm my damn hands.

So does it seem like any P model of the 3 would not even be queued?

As in Tesla is making 20,000 Model 3s per month, can blow through the reservation backlog before it attempts to release it?

Seems like 2019 as the earliest date for introduction?

I've been planning on the performance model since day one. My budget is $75k and I'm reasonably hopeful that will be in the general ballpark price-wise. Expecting delivery in Q3/Q4 2018 based on regular AWD models starting production in May.

Only thing I really hope for is more specs/info in the configurator when it opens to the public. Deliberately passing up the tax credit while holding out for P AWD would be a lot harder without any details.

 

[favo]

I am waiting for the P at least until more details come out. If we don't hear ballpark specs and price by the end of the year or 2018Q1 at the latest, I may have to reconsider.

 

[Maximilien]

It looks like those of us who are waiting for Model 3 PXXD are letting go $7,500 Federal Tax Cut.

I am still on the fence. Waiting another year seems to be painful...

 

[hoang51]

I would like to buy the performance model, but pricing needs to be known. If it gets too expensive, dual motors would be suitable. I'll just have to save for maximum plaid down the road...

 

[graphix25]

Originally was looking to get AWD, big battery and possibly performance model. Now reviewing the ramp plan shared to date and tax incentive implications. The new plan is to get the rear wheel drive, standard battery out of the gate. In 5 or 6 years give that car to the kids then get a new AWD P Model 3 rocket ship. By that time we should have a pretty well sorted out, feature rich model 3 with top flight components and reliability. I bet it has a HUD option by then. :>

I was originally going to hold out for the performance Model 3 but when they improved the performance of the S 75D, I had to jump on it (I'll be getting delivery hopefully by mid-September or sooner). Not that I knew it when I placed my order 3 weeks ago, but the price is now over $10,000 less after the options bundling and Canadian price drop, so it's even more attractive and affordable now. Also, Ontario currently has a very generous EV credit of $14,000 (about $11,000 USD) plus 50% off a wall charger and installation, so I wanted to make sure I get in on that while it's still available. I'm sure the performance 3s are going to be super fun to drive, but by the time that's available, I will have had at least 2 years of enjoyment out of my Model S and you can't put a price tag on that.

 

[alseTrick]

Not me.

 

[P85DEE]

I'm waiting for it as well.
