Pearl White Standard Paint?

[tyguy]

I just looked at the Tesla configurator for the 3 and it shows Pearl White as standard with black as a $750 option. That's a little different than Elon said it would be. Are you seeing the same thing?

 

[VT_EE]

Yes. I can’t believe they are making the expensive multi coat white the free paint. I assumed it would be a plain white.

It looks like they dropped the price of a performance model by $5K also, down to 54,990 now.

 

[cucubits]

Whoa, the LR AWD is down to $47,990

Great news, I'm that close to pulling the trigger and ordering one already.

Hmm.. I wonder if the RWD is cheaper now too

Isnt that discontinued?

 

[Coldones]

Prices for Model S and X dropped significantly. Ludicrous is now included on the Performance versions and no longer a 20k add on. Looks like short range models got the axe.

I can’t believe the Performance 3 dropped $5k. I can not believe it.

 

[MrG_NY]

Rear wheel still available and the multi coat white is the standard color.

You can still order it on the back end.

 

[Adam3]

Sick, P3D for $54k!!!

If you were planning to order an LR AWD with 19" wheels the Performance model is basically *just $5500 more since the upgraded wheels are included.

 

[fr100]

You can request 18" Aeros with Performance now.

I can’t believe the Performance 3 dropped $5k. I can not believe it.

I think the drop may be do to the cut in the Fed Tax and all the other brands giving killer lease and buy deals since qtr 2 they all did bad. The numbers that Tesla posted were damn good. Any talk of them being toast is hog wash.

Wow my config dropped ~$2k...rushed to buy before gov tax credit dropped even though my BMW lease isn't up until September...a little frustrating...but I have Homelink, car is awesome, and my build would still not be eligible for the new PA rebate limits...so I'll live.

But Elon did say no further price drops..blah

I feel like this does not do Tesla any favors. It just builds ill will among those of us who just bought Teslas.

Like oh look, it costs you ~$5K less to buy the same car you bought 10 days ago? THAT feels like a fun surprise.

 

[Celledral]

Dannnnggg. Welp there goes my $1500 paint option.

Lol.
Where is my post?
I asked this question a couple days ago. Roflmao.


The demand must be going down fast.

FWIW my exact config is $8000 less today than when I bought Q3/18. Of course I got a $5625 larger tax credit than a buyer today will, and I've saved roughly $2000 in gas over the time I've had it...and I don't have to pay another $300 to add homelink after the fact... and I got the $14 phone cables and the $35 14-50 adapter all of which I use daily....so net cost for getting to drive an excellent car for about 10 months compared to "waiting" for it be cheaper turns out to be... $26.

Oh, wait, I also paid $200 less destination charge.... so I suppose I'm actually $174 ahead versus having waited...

Oh, wait, again.... I also got lifetime free premium connectivity- which means if they ever actually get around to charging new buyers for that I come out even further ahead...

Just some perspective before the flood of "early model 3 buyers got screwed" posts that usually follow these price cuts.

(for some more perspective on that talk to a P100D(L) buyer who paid 132k earlier this year and you can now get the upgraded motor and suspension version of the same car under 100k)
