Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

[cptnslo]

A model Y performance is $53,490 before rebate. Does anyone think it would be reasonable to price this over $1500 more than that?

I'm not upgrading from an M3P so I'll happily sign up for 2.9s for <$55k with a partial or full tax credit.

Yes absolutely. You’re talking about interior, seats, wheels, etc. there’s a *sugar* load more that’s been changed

Yes. The ludicrous seems to be a more comprehensive upgrade than either the old m3p or current MYP.

$59k is my bet.

With a 100 more hp on the new rear motor it has to be faster than 2.9 0-60. I've done less than the stated 3.1 with my 23 m3p stock configuration. 100 more hp is going to cut off more than one tenth.

Crazy to me that a car can run sub 3.0 and people are pissed haha

More so dissapointed when the previous gen, which has been out for years, was supposedly a/two tenths of a second slower to 60.

Hope we see improved acceleration above 60 to compensate.

I was thinking the same thing, but I think what Tesla is doing is instead focusing on acceleration above 60 mph. I suppose that 100 hp will more so show in the qtr mile time.

It would be Ludicrous to call the car Ludicrous and not have that Mode and just have Insane Mode.

Cannot just count the power output of the motors, the battery hasn't changed and is a limiting factor.

Given this sequence of numbers:
44,990...49,990...53,490
What do you think is a reasonable third number in this set:
38,990...47,740...xx,xxx

That was for SIGNIFICANTLY less changes to the car itself. The Y or 3 has not changed over the years

Ah yes, because SAT questions are what determine the price of cars.

ChatGPT says:

To identify a reasonable third number in the sequence, let's analyze the pattern:

The sequence seems to be increasing in irregular increments. Specifically:

1. 44,990 to 49,990: An increase of 5,000
2. 49,990 to 53,490: An increase of 3,500

From this pattern, we can't derive a consistent rule for the increments. However, it seems like the increments are decreasing.

If we continue this trend, we might expect the next increase to be less than 3,500, perhaps around 3,000 or so.

So, a reasonable third number in the set could be:

53,490 + 3,000 = 56,490

Therefore, a reasonable third number could be 56,490.

ChatGPT says:

Unless I'm misreading Chat GPT actually ****ed that one up by just going for another 3000 increase in the first set. But the number itself actually seems plausible lol

 

[tivoboy]

Me wants wheels and diffuser.

That's because ChatGPT is just a large language model and doesn't actually understand logical reasoning.

I'm wondering if the new ludicrous sports seats will retain ventilation. I sure hope they do.

Made by HRE? Not to mention 9 and 10” width. Isn’t that .5” narrower than predicted

 

[terranx]

Made by HRE?

That's certainly what the stamping says... I would not think HRE would be in the business of making OEM wheels though

 

[T3SLAROD]

Damn! You’re right!!!
