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

[MountainJedi]

I can't see your image but maybe your car comes with the carbon fiber spoiler. Supposedly, it causes enough downforce to safely enable the car to get to 162 mph. Without it, they won't enable due to safety concerns.

That doesn't make any sense since a ton of original P owners have never received their spoilers. Also, many that did told the SC not to install and had not problems. Sorry the image didn't come through, but it has no spoiler, no brake calipers, etc. You also cannot order it with 19" wheels right now.

The chart is wrong.

and then there's this: Update From Tesla: No Tesla Model 3 Performance For Under $50K

Of course the statement they've issued makes no sense, but this is Tesla we're talking about

The statement makes no sense, but also says that you can't order from the "online configurator" for $49,990. Doesn't say for sure that you can't order it from a sales person.

I personally have a quote for $50,750 with black paint that I got about 2 hours ago. That makes the base $49,990.

I recently purchased a P+ and am feeling a bit ripped off. I wanted the acceleration and didn’t really care for the other features in the option. As far as I knew it cost 10K to get the feature.

In any case I wonder if this will eat into P+ sales.

I fully believe that. It may turn out to be a very good deal if the PUP being required will be true at some point in the near future ...on the other hand the price may drop another several thousand tomorrow. Or maybe it will go up tomorrow. Or maybe blue will be the new free color. Or maybe FSD will be $2k ...or $8k.

All that might happen. Doesn't matter to me what the price does after I purchase, as long as I'm happy with the price at the time of purchase. I'm happy with the price I paid for my LR AWD 8 weeks ago. I just want a P without the 20" wheels.

That "statement from Tesla" might well be "Rando level 1 chat support guy at Tesla" which we all know means roughly nothing.

It's also not even a statement from Tesla. It's a paraphase of whatever they were told. It doesn't make sense. All it says is that you can't see it in the online configurations. It doesn't say anything about ordering through a sales center or on the phone.

Here's a version in inventory, ready for purchase and pick up.

But maybe it came straight from the CEO of the company, in which case... it also means roughly nothing

I sold my MR and upgraded to this P3D- option available again. Kept the color the same so none of my friends notice. Lol

Does it have track mode?

Yes but it warns you that it is not recommended without the upgraded brakes and suspension. Lol

Thanks, I had heard some fake news from @AlanSubie4Life that this new iteration of the P3D- was crippled.

At least this makes sense. Glad we got this clarified. So the table and Electrek is garbage.

I'll tell you what it doesn't come with, the USB cables for charging in the dock! I figured surely they forgot to throw them in and they told me they don't include them anymore! Really?

Can you take a screenshot of that warning? Will put any nay-sayers to bed.

My car didn't either (see signature).

Most newer cars no longer come with:

phone cables
14-50 adapter
homelink

All sold as extras after delivery

Can you tell us what you paid before taxes and fees? That would put the InsideEVs nonsense to rest.

Can you check to see if it hits 162 MPH?

People need to take that into account when they're complaining about the new pricing. It's not the same car.
