Mid range battery available now?

And the drive units simply don't have that.

Here we go.

Now can we suggest Elon and his peers to offer that uncorking afterwards....for like 5,000 USD

Why would they sell it now for $5000 when it cost $11,000 pre-purchase?

Post-purchase upgrades from Tesla generally cost more, not less.

currently it's 11 K + with the performance package.

Performance package alone is worth how much?

To me? Negative dollars. Since I don't want boat anchor 20" wheels and brakes that do literally nothing better in street use but cost more to fix later.

Point being- if you want the 1 second quicker 0-60 from AWD you need to give Tesla at least $11,000. Hence it'd be stupid of them to offer an AWD unlock for an equal or lesser price than $11,000.

same here. Particularly since the range is reduced dramatically, as can be observed in the following youtube vid:

My dream configuration for the model 3:

LR, RWD, light grey CLOTH interior, silver outside, 18 inch (or smaller) aeros.

Seems to be available: NEVER.
