Model 3 specs

Sunroofs that tilt up tend to be better for venting than "cracked windows" though.

Just hit them a couple more times until ventilation is adequate

Here are some snaps that explain more about the differences between Standard and Premium....

 

[gregincal]

Homelink, yes!

2 years of complimentary data connectivity, boo! Hopefully the monthly fee going forward won't be too much.

That rear seat fold-down armrest with integrated cupholders is a nice touch. I seldom have a fifth passenger in my car and this will be like executive seats for the folks sitting in the back. This is especially nice for those with two young kids on a road trip and a DMZ is needed to establish clear territorial boundaries (glad those days are long over for me).

Yep, looks like PUP is the way to go!

I hope the cost isn't high.

If you can't use the car as a wifi hotspot what is the connectivity used for?

After two years do the maps stop working?

So other than the vegan seats, the wood dash trim, and perhaps the alcantara headliner, what else is included in the "Premium Materials throughout the Interior"?

 

[shrspeedblade]

The all glass roof is a big part of the interior upgrade I'd say.

Heated steering wheel standard or not?

Not sure if this information has been posted.

Where are these from?

 

[Zaphod]

Heated steering wheel standard or not?

No one has confirmed one way or another. Consensus at this point leads to it being not heated, but not sure.

 

[jsmay311]

FWIW, the Motor Trend article mentioned that the Premium Package adds REAR heated seats:

I presume that all Model 3s will have front heated seats, just as the S does now. Probably no heated mirrors without PUP though. I can't recall my mirrors icing up, is that really a problem in some places?

Is there any reason to believe a blurb in a MT article over the official Tesla press kit info?

I figure it's more likely that the MT writer got the facts a bit mixed up than Tesla would make such a glaring omission from the press kit info.

I hope I'm wrong though.

Heated steering wheel standard or not?

More like "Heated steering wheel option available at all or not?".

Again, just going by the press kit, there's zero mention of a heated steering wheel.

Much more discussion here: No heated steering wheel? (Leaf and Bolt have it)

I think this should settle the argument that the trunk isn't big enough to stash bodies.

Oh goodness I'm assuming that means after two years we have to pay to access maps and many more features that the screen offers?

Or use your phone's access point. Or add a line to your family plan. or... you know
I've found it odd that I'm not paying for the Model S data plan yet.

Tesla is getting half a million people pregnant first, then start charging monthly /yearly

Connectivity would be for streaming internet radio and the web browser. Maps and navigation don't need data except the update the maps and, since they included in the base, I assume map updates would be free. It would make sense anyway so you can still use them to find and get to a SC.
