Unless I am mistaken you are also getting more range and more performance, along with "streaming radio". It remains to be seen if they will allow those features to be turned on or off ala cart.
Look, my wife drives an Enclave. We bought it a year ago when the refresh first came out - now I see them advertised on TV with $9k discounts on the hood. I don’t even bat an eyelash at it - that’s how it goes when you buy a car. I’m still very happy with that Buick, for what I paid, when I paid it.
What others pay for it is completely irrelevant and doesn’t change a thing about my Enclave.
Certainly not surprised; it’s an unsupported lease. I was just waiting to see the numbers and they’re actually even a little worse than I expected. I’m pretty familiar with leasing and really don’t want to own the asset but fiscally it makes the most sense on a Tesla.
what sux is now we have to listen to all the trolls saying "I told you so" when they predicted for years that the $35K Model 3 would never exist or be a nearly impossible to buy unicorn. If it really was being outsold 6:1 by the plus, why not just leave it alone to avoid the negative publicity? It can't be driving down profits that much.
Cars are depreciating assets, it's the fact of life. It's been my experience that the longer you can keep the car (some exceptions), the cheaper it gets overtime. If your amortized the cost of a Tesla over a 10 year life span you will be much further ahead than leasing or buying one every 3 years. Tesla is obviously standing behind their product with a 8 year drive train warranty, so lots of peace of mind is included. The Model 3 and Y are so simplistic on the inside that there isn't a whole lot that can go wrong other than the big screen. Because of this simplistic design layout, 8 year warranty, and the possibility of another federal tax credit, I think the best bang for the buck is to buy new and hold on to it for the next 10 years, but most consumers have short attention spans and will dump it well before then. If you have the disposable income to trade up, great, if not, that's fine too, because Tesla makes a great product.
Guess it IS going to be standard across the board, according to Tesla themselves!
Yes, with the SR having the same battery but a software lock on the last 10% you could just charge to 100% and get the same range as charging 90% on the SR+. And now you even get the same materials as the SR+. If you were not planning on buying AP, the $35K SR is now an absolute steal. Given that it’s no longer mentioned online, I would bet the option will disappear in a month or so, so if you are thinking about ordering one I would move quickly on it.

Do we know if the $3000 down payment on the lease is just another $500 due at signing because of the $2500 reservation fee, or is it another $3000 for a total of $5500 down? It’s not clear from the order page and I think assuming could prove disappointing.
It shows $4,199 due at signing. There is no mention of a $2,500 down payment on a lease. What’s not clear though is what the $4,199 includes - license and registration, delivery/doc fees, first month’s lease payment, etc. They need to add more details to clarify the real costs. That may show up when you actually place the order.

Yup, I see that now. Very confusing. So it looks like $2,500 “due today” plus $4,199 due “at signing” means the real down payment is $6,699”. That makes the lease pricing look really high, especially since they get the benefit of the federal tax credit instead of the buyer.

Many of us predicted that the SR would never "really" be delivered, suspecting they would fill a small number of orders and kill the product and that's exactly what has happened. Tesla will just honor the existing orders and orders placed for a very short time by giving them a free SR+.
So much for that "demand problem" they are supposedly having.

Wow, just got my car 2 weeks ago and now the same config is $2k less
I have a story to tell you about dual motor and performance pricing.
How much was you tax rebate when you got your car and how much is the rebate now?

The Model 3 is a terrible lease candidate, why would you even consider it? Tesla or the finance company keeps the tax credit. You are in CO and you would be giving up a $5,000 state tax credit too.
Do you own a calculator?
Just. Say. No!
