Model 3 Partial Premium to Premium Interior

[EcoCloudIT]

Just wondering what are the differences between Partial Premium and Full Premium?

They’re both listing near the same when one looks at the details....like same sound system, same traffic aware routing and visualisations, same garage opening etc....all the things that are meant to be the things that are different are listed the same with the exception of small trim changes and front only to front/rear heated seats....

Order page on Tesla.com (USA) website still shows the difference for me.

Heated rear seats, speakers,internet. My understanding is that physically they may be identical. Just software locked.

The subwoofer is physically missing from the SR+.

I’m talking about our list, they read near identical....for example speakers are listed as identical as in the visual aware traffic routing (note the visual means one sees the read/yellow lines etc.)....listed differently in the states but reads the same here....

Edit: okay I’m stupid...shame on me using my phone to look at pop up details without my glasses on, I thought both are a list per car but the pop up includes premium and partial premium list....disregard this thread....stupid me

Happens to all of us Eco. If anything, thanks for sharing your moment so I'll feel better about my next one.

Actually there’s quite a few YouTube videos on the SR+ showing that the sub is there.

I'd love that if it were true, but everything I've read says no sub. As you suggested, I looked on Youtube for videos showing the SR+ with a sub and couldn't find any. Can you post the link to some so I can have some hope for a sub as well?

Is the Model 3 SR+ just a software limited premium interior? Like, do the back seats actually have seat heaters but you just can't turn them on? It wouldn't make sense to build a new set of back row seats without heaters installed just for the SR+ since it would complicate production.

Yes, the rear seat heaters are one of the software limited features. You can only turn on the front ones in the SR+ and it is widely believed that the rear seats do have the heater hardware but they are inaccessible.

I'm still lamenting the no show for the white interior. I know Elon has said its being put back as an option, I hope so for us here too. I think it was a UK inquiry he responded to. Just an interesting note, I went to the US site to read a bit more about their white interior, and it states when you click "preferred" - "Black and White interior includes our most premium materials, maximizing comfort and aesthetics while maintaining our rigorous standards for durability and stain resistance."
So they do market it as an upgrade in material too, not just a colour change. (I do realise it costs more.)

I have white in our Model S. It is vegan leather, very durable and feels nicer than what we experienced with real leathers in other premium cars from Honda to Lexus and Volvo.

So partial premium doesn’t get live traffic on navigation? Is there a way to get that?

What about over the air updates?

You'll get them when the car is connected to your home WiFi.

If all variants have all the hardware and are just software locked, then you would just need to upgrade to full premium at a later time when you think you want it/can afford it.

Subwoofer missing and some speakers too.

Some videos have shown that SR and SR+ have all the speakers installed but some are not active. I have never seen evidence that the Sub is installed in any cars other than ones with the Premium Interior.

 

[Mick_Molloy]

I wonder if the LR RWD will have the Premium Option ???

 

[Vortex_3]

I'm counting with it

LED fog lamps seemed to be removed from Partial Premium.
