Mid range battery available now?

[TurnFast]

Seen on the configurator now :

Does this mean what I think it means?

 

[TexasEV]

Only if your definition of “now” is “4-6 months”.

 

[ngogas]

Time to go get a second one. Lol.

 

[tracksyde]

Standard Battery is 4-6 months. Mid Range is 6-10 weeks.

 

[mtndrew1]

260 mi EPA range? Is there a new option between standard and long range?

 

[alchymia]

Looks like a software limited RWD LR, interesting.

 

[TurnFast]

Are they just software limiting an LR battery like the S60?

 

[JeffK]

There are a number of other changes too, including no way to select full self driving, the new performance 0-60 times, and the crappy way of displaying prices.

 

[TexasTeslaRacing]

Also noticed there is no option for FSD.

 

[TexasTeslaRacing]

Mid-Range starts at $45,000.

3.3 for P now. Anyone tested their P to see if it’s inproved?

 

[StellarRat]

What!?!?! VERIFIED! This is big news! That means Tesla is moving toward base model availability as promised! This going to increase M3 sales a lot!

haha I haven't tested since before v9 but I was getting almost exactly 3.51 seconds with a dragy. If they are counting rollout now then they're missing an asterisk.

No more rear long range offer and no FSD option. Also 0-60 changed in mid range and long range performance.[/quote]

Not really, it means the base model is on schedule.

The problem was many people were seeing the RWD LR as superior to the AWD version due to real world range.

 

[StellarRat]

Yes, but to me, it means that it is more likely to arrive on schedule.

Good point.

 

[JeffK]

Sounds like the margins are pretty good if they’re able to just give you the extra cells for free and not let you use them.

Oh they'll simply charge you a premium to use those cells later... unless it's a natural disaster.

Wow, no more RWD LR (my car)! Shoot, I'd have bought the AWD LR at that price! Or maybe Mid-Range RWD. It's cheaper now! I'm kind of bummed now. I could have waited no problem.

FSD not even an option now?!?
