Now we can put this to bed; thanks Elon. Haters gonna hate.

OMG Elon. We're gonna now have 135 more pages of how someone else got cheated, screwed, left out, ignored, hurt, abused, etc. It will never end.

I have several comments on my fb post from AWD owners saying that it’s unfair to them and they would have bought the P3D- if they knew. I expect another thread to pop up soon

 

[YevgeniyM]

Haha.
What about us AWD owners?
Congrats to all the P3D- owners! Your complaining paid off
Maybe we can continue this thread for all the people who think they should get to keep FUSC and get the $5k.

Hey, start your own thread and maybe we’ll see another tweet before long

Solution: Offer non-P AWD owners a software unlock upgrade to P3D- for $5000. Not a bad deal for 1+ second quicker acceleration and would bring in more revenue for Tesla.

It would need to be at least $6,000, otherwise you would have the P3D- people complaining that they paid $1,000 more than the AWD people that upgraded to P3D-.

This is the path to continued profitability!

Ah, good point. Also, post-delivery unlocks always come at a premium. So maybe $6500.

Also they can bump the power of the P3D for free to assuage the offended Performance owners. If this thread is anything to go by, I think Performance owners would be upset that they have to pay higher property taxes to California on an ongoing basis & higher sales tax, while the AWD plebeians have the same power, even if it came at a higher up front cost. There would also be concerns about excess depreciation, again if this thread is anything to go by! Must maintain exclusivity!

 

[ConcordeSST]

For sure. Now non-P AWD owners will complain that if they had known that the price differential would drop by $5000 they would have ordered the P3D-

I would have! Not about to complain to Tesla though. Still love my car as-is.

I was pretty sure it was never Elon’s decision to not include P3D- owners. Some Tesla admin made this stupid decision and I’m glad Elon found out about it and clarified.

 

[JoshPA]

Thank you Elon. Will put the $5K towards a second 3.

 

[Msjulie]

I was far too slow to post this first and the temptation to say "told ya" did rear it's ugly head for a sec...

Me, I see some (more) $TSLA in my future and probably some MPP rotors!

Merry Christmas to Stealth Performance owners!

Exactly.

They will sell far more than enough AWD uncorks to cover the entire $5k refund campaign... and everyone is happy, I hope!

 

[Jeffers0n]

Same for me. Either a 3 or an X next year. Good call on their part. Makes me want to be a loyal customer.

You forgot the smiley face. Do you really think we are that petty?

 

[Perry]

I knew Tesla would come through!

I didn't but am happy they did and restored my faith in them. I will consider Tesla again as my next car purchase.

 

[JoshPA]

OMG how could I forget to post this:

@Knightshade and @P85_DA

Well there goes @Knightshade's argument.

 

[smyszko]

Thanks Elon for a great Christmas gift to us stealth owners. I also get the satisfaction of responding to the long email thread I had with customer support asking for the refund and being refused (where I was fruitlessly arguing with them about the intent of Elon's original tweet).

 

[AlanSubie4Life]

Well there goes @Knightshade's argument.

This is where @Knightshade chimes in and says this is what he was arguing all along. With the bold text of course.

Yes, your right. Elon seems like a fair guy if he gets to hear your plight. He never got to hear ours, that's why it took so long. He has so many things on his plate, it is sometimes hard to get even a small piece of his mind share. But it looks like this unfair policy application finally got to his ears and he made the corrective action he promised in his original tweet.
