Model 3 specs

[voyager]

According to the M3 press kit, the weight difference between LR and SR is 265 lbs, corresponding to 90 miles range, so you could extrapolate to 648lbs for the SR and 912lbs for the LR. Although in practice it's not that simple since there are knock-on effects to weight and there's more to a battery pack than just cells, not all of which scale linearly.

So, on average around 350 kg. In other words, still 4-5 as much as the usually only occupant (i.e. the driver) weighs...

I'm not sure how the drivers' weight factors into things, but yes.

Overall though, Model 3's weight is very much normal for its class. LR is on the heavier end, but some of its competitors can get even heavier. SR is maybe 60% percentile when you consider all of the different variants of its competitors (not just the base curb weighs from the lowest power gasoline engine variants)

Monroney sticker from the production pics thread:

alright guys, here we go. went by factory and found s3x in the wild, all same color (do i hit the tesla jackpot)? the model 3 was #142 and was produced in July (does that put tesla ahead of schedule?) oh i also got the clearest pic of the sticker too.

I'm amazed that the investor troll/short sites have not flooded the internet with doomsday predictions based on the absence of cars produced in August

Cars were produced, that is clear. What is "absent" is a number. Tesla has never provided monthly numbers.

I noticed on the sticker it says:
Seven Cameras, forward radar and twelve ultrasonic sensors.

Did they miscount or is the Model 3 missing a camera vs the Model S/X?

Interesting that they don't list out the premium upgrade features.

Even though we already know most of this stuff, I went ahead and transcribed what I could....

Bottom line ... $50,500.
With Dual Motors and Smart air suspension the MSRP will be over $60K
With a “performance version” of Model 3 with Ludicrous mode now pushing $70-$75K

Tesla Model 3 to have smart air suspension with dual motor next year, says Elon Musk

For that particular options combination, yes. Which nobody who's followed options pricing would be surprised about.

They also list a high definition rear backup camera, so maybe thats just counted separately?

Anyone who thought the Performance model was going to be much-if-at-all lower than $70k was delusional to begin with. It'll only come as a surprise to people who didn't actually think about it.

 

[03DSG]

I agree. 8 cameras total. 7 used by AP.

"Rear View Camera
Not just for backing up safely, the rear view camera is now a contributing member of the Autopilot hardware suite with enhanced optics. The rear view camera is useful when performing complex parking maneuvers."

There's also an interior camera so actually, there are 9 cameras. 8 external ones for Autopilot including rear view one for autoparking.

 

[Adm]

Anyone who thought the Performance model was going to be much-if-at-all lower than $70k was delusional to begin with. It'll only come as a surprise to people who didn't actually think about it.

Agree, it's just about half of what a Model S P100D costs and about the same as a BMW M3 or a Mercedes C63 AMG even without incentives and fuel savings.

 

[KarenRei]

Speaking of the interior camera, the more I think about it, the more possibilities I realize that you could do with it. Two new ones that occurred to me today:

* Gesture interface. For people who complain about "having to use a touchscreen", and don't think voice commands are good enough - just wave your hands in the air to change settings.
* Video conferencing. You already have a screen, after all.

This is in addition to all of the past things, like driver attention monitoring; monitoring of children / other non-owners granted permission to drive / ride in the car; theft prevention; etc.

You know, driver attention monitoring is a whole bag on its own. E.g.:

* Audio alerts if the driver starts to doze off. If they don't respond, slow down, pull over and put the hazards on.
* Don't let the driver go too long without looking at the road when Autopilot is on.
* If driver is being inattentive with autopilot on, make autopilot more sensitive. If it's not sure whether something is dangerous, and the driver's not watching, it should assume it's dangerous.

You think that option is going to cost $10k on M3? Before it was made standard on the MS, those were $5k and $2,5k respectively. And everything is cheaper on M3 (and must be, because it's targeting a lower market).

Musk previously stated that AWD would be cheaper on M3 than on MS (where it was $5k). Now maybe air suspension is their way to bring it back up to $5k. But $10k? No, not going to happen.

I'm not sure how you get that, unless you are adding something like EAP as well. Elon has said AWD will be less than the $5000 it is on the Model S (and it certainly won't be more), and smart air was only ever a $2500 option on the Model S.

Edit: Just got beaten

Plot twist: No AWD without premium package and long range battery.

While I wouldn't be surprised if LR is required for AWD, I doubt PUP will be.

I'd laugh, though.
