Model 3 Options Pricing

[ItsNotAboutTheMoney]

No power seats on the base version? Surely that is a misprint.

Nope. Saves weight and cost.

I don't care about that. I care more about having no heated seats or heated mirrors and having to pay $5k to get them.

I’m actually pleasantly surprised with the pricing for the premium package (or really, how much is included). Disappointed at the autopilot and battery upgrade pricing.

 

[a.void]

So if you forego the autopilot at POS, can you still enable later?
Is there a cruise control standard without Autopilot?

 

[ChrisH]

That's what I want to know. Are there any "safety system" type features standard (lane departure warning, blind spot warning etc)? Or do you have to either get one or most for $5000?

Yes. On the spec sheet all the safety features are included in the base Model.

autopilot safety features come standard... whatever that means exactly...

No sunroof option?

Compared to the Bolt, BMW 330i or Audi A4, the pricing is great, especially after the tax credit. There won't be any comparable cars out there with AP2 for at least a year or two in this price range.

Other than a used Model S

I really hope they rethink their options. I know they are going to gouge all they can though at the beginning.

Yeah I"m also curious if I don't get any version of Cruise Control if I don't buy an AP features? Did anyone with a model S do it without any AP? If you did you get a basic CC or nothing at all?

Yeah it seems like you almost have to get the 5k interior upgrade package if not you're neutering the interior - one that was already spartain to begin with.

Looks like no Homelink in any trim. That is a disappointment. My garage door openers are cheap rattle traps that I prefer to leave at home.

 

[Tanquen]

I agree. The upgrade price for the battery provides a massive boost in range, and all options that would be affected by the size of the 3 vs the S are cheaper. The AP is the same price, which makes perfect sense because the hardware is the same and the software development wouldn't be any cheaper than an S or an X.

I think the AP price is pretty bad considering the volume that we're now going to be talking about. I'm guessing the price will go down after the incentives run out. With folks getting the same AP I paid for cheaper and the same battery I paid for much much cheaper by not buying upfront, I wouldn't think anyone in the know would buy any of the software enabled features up front. Especially with a lot of the AP2 stuff not working yet.

MotorTrend article says:

60-85-kW

Can't be right, right?

Battery capacity is measured in kWh, not kW.

The above is infinitely more informative, than the reveal. I was so excited throughout the earlier portions of the reveal (part 3), and yet so disappointed in the complete absence of information relating to the interior.

May I ask the source of your info?

And by the way thank you for your contribution.

surely there will be a homelink option somehow. My 2005 Prius and 2012 Leaf both have homelink rear view mirrors and I love not having to those stupid garage door openers with their disposable batteries.

Its becoming a trend to not include it I have noticed. The Bolt omitted Homelink as well when my Volt had it. I think companies don't want to pay the fees to license the tech. My Mom's brand new Buick Encore doesn't have it either.

On the S specs its specifically spelled out as GPS enabled Homelink, so the omission in the 3 specs is interesting.

 

[dhanson865]

My where is it feature is the HEPA filter. No mention on the specs but maybe we'll be able to get it after delivery like the Model S can as a service center install?

 

[ChrisH]

Looks like ACCis not standard. $5000 for ACC and basic autopilot features. Yikes. Might have to pass unfortunately.

 

[SageBrush]

From my POV, the $5,000 AP buys lane keep assist (LKA) and dynamic cruise control (ACC). That is expensive when compared to my Prius Prime (free) but about on par with the Germans. Most importantly though, it buys the promise of future FSD for a couple thousand more. I'm willing to subsidize AP development, and nowadays I consider ACC and LKA essential safety features. Expensive, but OK

Premium package: everybody is going to find something to dislike -- that is the nature of packages. For me the glass roof is an extravagance I really want, and the cold weather package, while not mandatory, makes the car a lot more pleasant in Colorado winters. My only real teeth grinding is being forced into plastic upholstery. I'll have to hope my wife does not nix the entire car because of it; or even worse, make snippy remarks every time she is in the car.

The base car: Easily matches my expectations

 

[Sluggabed]

This car could've been so much more. I truly believe that Tesla have made a huge mistake in not updating the Model S first to at least 120kw battery with the new battery format prior to this cars release because it prevents the lower end model being more than it could otherwise overshadowing the top end sales and killing it in its tracks.
