It says you have to pick the 10 speed auto and Performance Package. Currently the GT Performance package is $37k, no 10 speed option.
It's still a quick time though for around $40k (keeping in mind it's not a premium sedan though).

That video shows the mustang instrument cluster at the end. It looks really cool.
I was actually thinking the "P" option might be software un-lockable on a M3. I don't know if the M3 uses the same drive units as the new MS75, but if it does, with the same battery capacity, it would be significantly quicker because of the weight difference. It's possible that on the M3 75, you'll be able to unlock higher performance just as a software option, which would be great for early reservation holders. It's not like other manufacturers where the high performance version has a lot of mods (suspension, brakes, etc.). As far as I know, Tesla P cars just have a bigger rear motor and the fancy contactors. PURE SPECULATION of course
Don't you think EM has a lot to be proud about seeing we've reached the point when his environment friendly, super clean, super silent EVs are now getting compared very favorably against heavy polluting street racing macho cars. A decade ago the sort of buyers getting these gas guzzlers would have laughed off at the idea of being outrun by a super silent and comfortable family EV. I think EM deserves a Nobel prize for getting us to where we are right now.
seems odd that there'd even need to be speculation for the various component differences in a non-performance vs performance model. Should be explicitly listed by Tesla somewhere.As far as I know, Tesla P cars just have a bigger rear motor and the fancy contactors. PURE SPECULATION of course

Heck no, there will be a dedicated P motor.I was actually thinking the "P" option might be software un-lockable on a M3.

There very well could be, but I'm not sure there needs to be. It looks like they are very wary of having the M3 approach the MS in performance. I'd think the M3 could easily get into the mid 3s if it has the same DUs as the base S. I'd love to see a full spec P75DL M3 that could rip off 2 second zero to sixty runs, but I doubt they'll let it threaten the Model S's supremacy. I will be supremely happy if the regular 75D is faster than my Model S (5.2 seconds).

Well, that's why they improved the performance of the Model S in the last few weeks.
They made the 3 behind closed doors, and knew what it would take to differentiate the Model S from it.
The 3 will also have a P motor. The difference will be in pack size and voltage.

We know Model 3 will have ludicrous mode and approach Model S performance already. I wouldn't call 3+ seconds ludicrous mode.

I'm well aware of that. I have a ludicrous MS. This is a different model thus ludicrous can be 3 sec for M3.
I think you might be disappointed if you're thinking there is going to be a sub 3 sec version. I ordered M3 for the wifey.
I see 5.6 standard
4 sec performance
3.5 insane
3 sec Ludicrous
as the benchmark for the M3

You can disagree if you like... rumors said some of the Model 3 prototypes achieved 2.x second 0-60 times.
Maybe they will purposely slow it down so you feel better about your ludicrous Model S.

Lol
No worries here
Thx
I have pretty good info
and don't worry about feelings
I have cars faster than my MS but not better overall
I don't get disillusioned about 0-60 times with the Tesla's. There are a number of cars on the streets just as fast or faster than MS from 45-85.

ZERO % chance the model 3 is ever

Tesla has a model 3 production car that will be released with a 0-60 time anywhere near 2 seconds during the next couple years. 3's is what you can expect for 3DL. Book it
