On YouTube, search Farzad "Everything Elon Musk Said At Tesla's Autonomy Day". The entire 30 minutes of Elon talking is worth watching. Very interesting...

You mean the video he put up of Elon speaking about the state of things in 2019? I don't think your assertion that LR models are going away/becoming rarer has been born out in 5 years.
If nothing else, the 2024 refresh would have been a perfect time to remove LR/AWD from the lineup, and they didn't do that.
My bad. It said it was posted 2 hours ago, so I thought it was current. Thanks for the clarification.
Range is so interesting -- prior to owning a tesla and for the past 6 months I obsessed over range and a better route planner assessing how many stops I would need to take for certain road trips etc.
Now that I actually own a tesla i pay little to no attention to the % of battery left or miles for the range. I've taken 2 road trips out of town and have already put 2K miles on the rwd in a month -- but for daily use, every morning the car is at 100% and range anxiety is NOT a real thing for me.
Getting people to understand this is impossible until they actually own an EV and can charge at home.
They also act like when they take a 5 hour 325 mile road trip that they don't stop for the bathroom or quick snack break or drive through etc.

Will do scooter62. Agreed about the Ultra Red!
Same specs. Would love to see that kind of movement in my EDD. Fingers crossed.
You are 3 days ahead of me on EDD, being a month behind me on OD!
Even when you get a VIN, don't get too excited. Got a VIN on 4/12, delivery range 4/22 - 5/1. Since that time, not able to select delivery date and, since sunday, lease status says "terms are being updated" and does not allow me to interact, despite lease being complete since March. This morning delivery date moved to 4/28 - 5/5. Crazy to me they cant manage to deliver the car within 2 weeks of VIN assignment. Still have gotten no response on what the lease status screen is supposed to mean, or whether it will be fixed (in order to show me the final amount due) at the time I will need to schedule a delivery date. Incredibly tedious and frustrating process. Will never do this again.
Assuming you have a Long Range M3 on order Heads up.
Tesla today significantly improved lease terms for the long range AWD. Now on a zero down 36 month, 12k lease for example you should save about $50 per month. If your updated lease status does not say that try and cancel financing and reapply before taking delivery. I took delivery 10 days ago and got the earlier worse lease terms
Wow, had no idea. It is a LR. Thanks (!!) for the heads up - my frustration just turned to cautious optimism!Assuming you have a Long Range M3 on order Heads up.

(but sorry to hear about your situation, that really sucks)
M3 Performance launched. 53k AND eligible for 7.5k tax credit. For anyone planning to buy ( not lease) who income qualifies for the tax credit, the LR makes little sense now.
There is. But my point was the LR lease already gets a 7.5k credit regardless of income. So the Performance has no additional incentive as in a purchase for those that qualify.
Also 20” wheels will drive rough compared to 18” and will need winter tires for those in cold climes.Range on performance model is only 296
Lol! The M3 Performance opened up just now, changed my order from Long Range to Performance in Ultra Red with Black/White interior
