Yeah, I really thought the software would be $1 off or something, after all the 'we won't charge the same as the S and X, that was to subsidize the 3' blah blah talk.I'm not sure why people are complaining... it was never going to have all the bells and whistles for $35k. That was a fantasy.
The base model based on all the driving reviews I read will still be fantastic.
The only thing that surprises me is the $5k for EAP... I thought that'd be a little lower.
Same here. I was hoping I could just get the audio upgrade for about $1k.I'm not sure why people are complaining... it was never going to have all the bells and whistles for $35k. That was a fantasy.

I don't think anyone (or general consensus) is really complaining about the car and features itself, it was just the presentation lacked any really meaningful details other than right at the end with the slide that showed the specs between the two cars. I don't think we really needed to be told about the logistics and challenges of ramping up production, blah, blah, blah..I wasn't expecting a complete walk-through but at least tout some of the features.I'm not sure why people are complaining... it was never going to have all the bells and whistles for $35k.

That was expected.What about slower charging speeds? That's not good too.
It's very important info for Tesla to help manage expectations. This is a PR event, and a support/empathy event for the team (most of audience are involved with production).I don't think we really needed to be told about the logistics and challenges of ramping up production, blah, blah, blah.
It has smaller chargers (32 and 40A) but faster charging speed on a 240V outlet as the cars are lighter and more efficient. 30 mph for the smaller battery and charger, 37 mph for the larger battery and charger. (Model S charges at 29 mph on a 240V 50A outlet.)What about slower charging speeds? That's not good too.

Actually, now that I think about it, if you start comparing to a Chevy Bolt, you get similar pricing and options but a crummier car and no supercharging network. Tesla wins.So you wanted the audio, other people just want the motorized seats and I just want the heated mirrors and heated seats.
Hmm.
Anyone who probably doesn't realize by now what expectations should be must be living under a rock. However, maybe my perspective is skewed as a regular follower and poster here. But I think Tesla has been saying pretty much the same story on deliveries and expectations for the last year.It's very important info for Tesla to help manage expectations.

My takeaway: It's a nice $50,000 car, with a few "issues" that matter to me. Bundling the longer range battery with the premium package is one of them. Delivery dates are fine, even for a base model. Interior space looks fine. Even the screen looks fine. The phone app access (with backup card swipe) is just about a disqualifier. Don't know if there will be an aftermarket fix for that.Um, no, it doesn't.. Can you be a *little* more precise?
