Model 3 performance new 18 inch wheel option now avail 7/15/19

[AlanSubie4Life]

I just picked my P3D- up today and it does have track mode. It also seems to have the 162 MPH max speed.

Congrats. Enjoy the car. Any idea what rear motor it has and when your car was built? See below for an AWD example (taken from behind the rear driver side wheel).

Just placed an order for a midnight silver sleeper! Test drove it and did the all important car seat test. I fit just fine with a Diono radian in the middle rear facing and was able to get three across (2 Diono and 1 Graco infant seat).

They had about 10 on the lot in Chesterfield, MO (St. Louis). One red with 19’s otherwise all 18’s.

Do you know what was done? Was it all software or was there some physical changing too?

Software only.

As one of the first P3D- owner I can confirm that Yes Track mode is included and will stay. Yes - its Software only, they will go thru inventory to find an AWD model with the specs you want and then shoot OTA firmware to enable performance software.

I got my M3P- last week but I haven’t had a chance to test out the top speed yet, anyone else?

 

[HEDHNTR]

Just got mine, as well. Changed from the white interior to black to also come under the PA price restrictions for our state rebate. Loving it, and thanks for all the advice here!

I think you are correct. There were two in stock in Colorado, but not the color we wanted. Our rep found one in Salt Lake and it is on a truck to Colorado now for a delivery this coming Friday. When we configured online it initially shows up as a "real" Performance Model 3 on the front end with its normal pricing, and then shortly later I received an amended order which showed the "stealth" specs and pricing.

I think it's almost a guarantee that the P3D- in inventory right now are unlocked LR AWD models. The speed with which they flooded the inventory after the price announcement suggests that's the most likely answer.

So as far as tires go, I think you're going to see the same 3 options (as far as I know, it's been two Michelin models and a Continental that have been delivered on the LR AWD vehicles, someone correct me if I'm wrong). I think their summer accessory package is a complete separate offering with summer specific tires.

I have to believe this is why Tesla is sticking with its annual guidance of delivering at least 360k cars. Even after a record quarter last quarter, I believe they will have to average over 100k for the next two quarters to hit that number. Just doing a few anecdotal checks that are in sync with this thread, it does seem by offering the "stealth" MP3, Tesla has spurred at least short term demand by flipping the software switch on existing inventory and driven in new buyers or induced current owners to upgrade earlier than they might have otherwise.

I am not into the specifics of some of the hardware as others, but after reading this it seems as if by doing this there is also a positive margin impact, albeit small, but after Tesla was hammered by Wall St for their automotive GM in the most recent quarter, if my assumptions are true, this "stealth strategy" makes a ton of sense.

anybody got a firmware update on their new p3d-? i’m still 2019.15 but my wifi connection in the garage is pretty weak (2 bars). just wondering if i need to do something about the wifi or maybe we are supposed to stay on .15 for now?

No update on my p3d- either, still on 2019.15. I have great WiFi connection in my garage so it must not be that.

I picked up mine this past Friday and there was a software update waiting to be installed. We scheduled it to be install early the next morning 2:00 am. Anyway, 2019.15.105 was installed (I don’t know what version was previously installed).

They are building more. Early reports said there were a mistake but that's not true. I called my local center and they told me I can place a order now for a base white/black one.

The P3D- inventory cars are being snapped up like crazy. My OA indicated there is no way to do a custom build for one, inventory cars only.... anyone able to do a custom build?

 

[willw64]

I just ordered two days ago and it was look for existing inventory regionally that had the specs we wanted and it is getting shipped at no cost (Salt Lake to Denver).

No custom builds but there are a lot out there. About 10 in St. Louis when I was there. Mostly black but all colors were available.

Very helpful. My OA is not able to attach a vehicle to my order unless it is within a certain distance. Has anyone else had this happen?

I can't say, but my OA found one in Salt Lake City which is over 500 miles away and it wall all pretty straight forward.

It’s a regional thing. I am able to get cars a couple of states away, but as soon as he tries to attach it to a car in a different region, he is unable to do so.
