+£2,440 for me as I lost FSD discountI just received my LR AWD, so I guess it's too late for me...Just curious, how much more did it cost you over the LR AWD price for the added acceleration?

LR AWD vs P3D-

I'm in the US. When you say "stuck with the LR AWD", but haven't upgraded, are you implying that people were given the option post VIN / delivery to upgrade to a P-?
Were you told by an official Tesla rep that it was just a software upgrade or is that just the assumption?
Also to those saying range on the P+ isn't less than LR AWD even if you drive reasonable, I think you are in for a surprise. I've seen way too many P+ owners complain about the real world range being less (including the guy from Engineering Explained) with just normal driving here in the US. I am on a few model 3 ownership groups on Fb with thousands of members and this complaint comes up often.
No, this happened before any VIN's were given out. Originally in the UK we were given 3 options
- SR+
- LR AWD
- LR AWD Performance +
About 2 weeks after the uk launch Tesla removed the LR AWD options above and replaced them with one
LR AWD Performance (we call P-)
and a new £3700 upgrade to add the brakes, pedals and 20" wheels, we call (P+)
Nothing official no, it's an assumption across many forums (and not just in the UK), it may or may not be correct.

How so? As advertised, LR AWD had quoted WLTP range of 348mi (I have a screenshot). P- is 329mi. Agree, not much in it but to say it is exactly the same is duplicitous.

Not so. The LR AWD was deleted. What you were left with was a P3D without the 20" wheels, upgraded suspension and brakes. You paid extra for this.

Hah it's funny, now the option is gone for y'all to get P- but now here in USA we can get P+ with aero's.

This is UK part of forum. So options, different to US.I just received my LR AWD, so I guess it's too late for me...
But its mute point anyway, as overnight, LR AWD is back at reduced price, P- is gone, P+PUP is reduced, Pearl White is new black.
Rumour has it that LW AWD may get a paid software upgrade to P-. But tbh, no one knows anything, and lots of conjecture flying around everywhere as the events overnight show.

Prior to yesterday’s price change, has Tesla reached out (or given any indication) of what they would do ito a pricing compromise when the P- cost basically the same?
That's because all P variants are advertised with range for the 20" wheels. On 18" wheels they are exactly the same, although it is not clear from the website. Here's a table with range shown for all M3 variants:-
Tesla Range Table - Teslike.com
Actually if, like me, you ordered a Pearl White P- the P+ now actually comes in a grand cheaper!
P- (white/white) = £51,840
P+(white/white) = £50,940 (previous price £55,540)
Another round of order modification coming up! I don't actually want the 20" wheels, but I think for resale it's a no-brainer at this price. Got to feel for those who just paid £55,540 for P+ in the same spec!

I’ve just called and happily changed from P- to LR AWD at the revised pricing, saving me £3,100 in the process. I only ordered the P- in the first place because the original LR AWD disappeared, so this change works really well for me. No interest in upgrading to the P+ as I don’t need the performance and don’t want the 20 inch wheels. If I was keen on the performance side of it like you @Peteski I would absolutely be changing to the new P+, it is indeed a proverbial no-brainer for some. Overall, with the new prices, the P- we both originally ordered does not look like particularly good value from a residual value perspective vs any of the options that cropped up today.
Did they indicate if this would affect delivery?
I originally ordered LR AWD, then when that disappeared changed to P-. I'm now keen to revert to LR AWD and save £3k, but I have a VIN and am apparently due to get my final invoice for the P- any day now.
Spot on summary there.
Upgrade to P+ if you want maximum performance or downgrade to LR AWD for a cheaper all-rounder with better everyday ride quality. I actually would have preferred the P- spec, but doesn't make sense now at the revised pricing.
Waiting it out for delivery is turning out to be a good move on cost! The P+ is now an absolute performance bargain compared to it's original launch pricing. Icing on the cake for me was the free Pearl White.
