New version of model 3... mid range

[pcons]

Tesla launches new Model 3 with ‘mid-range’ battery for $45,000, changes pricing structure

Interesting....now LR is AWD only, and the mid range battery pack is RWD only....

The release from Tesla says it's for Canada and USA, but the Canadian model 3 page doest have the mid range option yet, only the US site.

Added a poll for fun. I messed up the last one I did, so made this one as simple as I could think of

Don't see full self drive option on us configuration website...

Probably there's some bureaucratic holdup, have to figure out exchange rates, etc.

I see the midrange for rwd on the Canadian site - $52,100

Looks like $58,800 without incentives and gas savings.

I hope I'm not remembering correctly but here goes.

The MR RWD base price is $67,400.
The LR AWD base price is $79,300.

I'm 99% sure the LR RWD was $64k before and the LR AWD was $72k before. Am I wrong? This is before the incentives/gas savings they like to throw in there.

Not sure where you saw the above pricing, LR AWD is 70700 now and MR RWD is 58800.

The paint prices are still the increased values, but interestingly the white interior has dropped to 1300....I may have opted for it if it was that price when I ordered (it was 2k then...).

EAP and FSD are the same price.

pcons, yea. I didn't realize it saved the color and EAP selections when I went back to step 1. So the MR RWD is ~$5k cheaper than the LR RWD and the AWD is ~$1.2k cheaper then before.

I was wanting the LR RWD.. it's only a ~80km difference in battery but when you take into account you're only charging to 80%, and I was losing around 15% because of my energy consumption that 80km starts to make a difference.

So what's the midrange kW pack sitting at? 60kW?

according to the website, AP is now standard... Enhanced AP (FSD) is an option $5k.

LR RWD started at $64,100
MR RWD starts at $58,800

Difference is $5,300
MR has ~80 km less range and is a tad slower. Also a few hundred pounds lighter.

It’s an interesting marketing move and may cause some SR waiters to buy sooner. I still subscribe to “range is king” but $5,300 is significant. Have to think about the impact of winter range loss, charging to 80%, etc to see if the MR will work for you. If I didn’t qualify for the $14k Ontario rebate, the MR would be enticing.

I hope we get FSD for nothing if newer customers are getting for the cost of EAP/FSD bundled

That’s not what I see. EAP remains a $6,600 option. FSD has been eliminated as an option. Lots of speculation on the main Model 3 forum as to why.

FSD (years away in Canada) is just another layer of EAP. Would be great if they just gave it to early EAP purchasers as a thank you

 

[pcons]

Interesting about FSD being gone. I doubt they will add it to EAP (and description of EAP remains the same) because what would they do to those who bought FSD? Give refunds? That wouldn't be a wise financial decision.

Regardless, in Canada we dont even have summon, and its a crippled version of the US version on model S and X. So when FSD actually gets released in the US I expect it to take another number of months, possibly years, for Canada to get a possibly watered down version.

Wonder if this would be a game changer for those waiting on the standard range model...

Cost conscious buyers wouldn't bite unless their current car is more or equal to 700 CAD a month in payments. It's still targeting entry luxury market - many can't justify spending a bulk of their income on a fancy EV.

sorry $5k is US... yeah maybe i am reading that wrong.

Interesting to see that FSD was removed as an option. Only EAP.

I might be tempted with this Model and price, loan via Tesla seems expensive mind so if I can find a car loan cheaper I think I might bite on this one
