POLL: Model 3 Options, what will you spend your money on?

[B0B0]

Do you really think it will be around $69K fully loaded? I am thinking around $55-$57K. Lets say 20% off each option...

I think this would be a common use case for most buyers, maybe a long the lines of what Elon was thing when he said ~$42,000 on average (estimates based on above pricing). $43,000 USD (8,5000 in upgrades).

Autopilot convenience features ($2500 for S)
Glass Roof / Sunroof ($2,500)
Sound system ($1500)
Premium paint ($1000)
Premium wheels ($1000)

They should include more of these features in the base cost to increase the efficiency and productivity of their supply chain and manufacturing

Want to make a bet on that?

Here are my estimates:

Base $ 35,000.00
Supercharging $ 1,500
Paint $ 1,000.00
Larger battery $ 7,500.00
AWD $ 4,000.00
Wheels $ 2,500.00
Auto-Pilot $ 2,500.00
Leather Seats $ 2,000.00
Premium Interior $ 2,500.00
Panoramic Roof $ 1,500.00
Fancy trim (Carbon fiber) $ 750.00
HiFi $ 2,000.00
Sub-Zero $ 1,000.00
Peformance $ 10,000.00
Ludicrous $ 5,000.00
Smart Air Suspension $ 2,500.00
Carbon Fiber Spoiler $ 1,000.00
Grand total: $82,250.00 (pre tax and delivery fees)

Maybe I didn't discount some of the options enough, but surely we are going to easily go past $55k.

I totally agree with this more than the guys saying 55k.. someone suggested Performance with ludicrous mode for only $3k, really?? Until they break the mold you have to use the S/X as the basis for comparison, with no options a base 70 is like $72.5k vs a fully loaded P90DL around $140k+!

To be honest I think Tesla loses money on Base Model 3, they have to make some profit off the options to survive.

My Other would be: Full On Auto Pilot.

 

[Trips]

LED headlights would be great

Smart laser headlights are the latest and greatest. The sensors should be there for them.

 

[Maric]

I thought the pano roof was standard but getting the impression this isn't the case? If not, I'm definitely upgrading to pano roof. Leather is also a must for me. Lastly a good sound system. I 'think' I can upgrade the battery at a later date if needed correct? I may go for AWD depending on the cost of other options.

AP (of course), dual chargers, and any additional tech packages

 

[omgwtfbyobbq]

Autopilot, supercharging if it's not included, and the hitch.

 

[Trips]

To be honest I think Tesla loses money on Base Model 3, they have to make some profit off the options to survive.

Don't forget that Tesla sells their Zero Emissions Credits to other auto companies. In Q3 of 2015 the sold 11k vehicles and cashed $51 million from selling their credits.

I'd save the $1500 on a sound system. Do it yourself for a fraction of the cost.

 

[JohnSnowNW]

Everything but the UHF, unless I can hear it first and am blown away.

sound interesting.
honestly I've never heard of laser lights

 

[MP3Mike]

AP (of course), dual chargers, and any additional tech packages

Forgot about the high amp charger, and towing option so my guess for a fully loaded Model 3 is now $84,000:
Base $ 35,000.00
Supercharging $ 1,500.00
Paint $ 1,000.00
Larger battery $ 7,500.00
AWD $ 4,000.00
Wheels $ 2,500.00
Auto-Pilot $ 2,500.00
Leather Seats $ 2,000.00
Premium Interior $ 2,500.00
Panoramic Roof $ 1,500.00
Fancy trim (Carbon fiber) $ 750.00
HiFi $ 2,000.00
Sub-Zero $ 1,000.00
Peformance $ 10,000.00
Ludicrous $ 5,000.00
High amp charger $ 1,000.00
Towing option $ 750.00
Smart Air Suspension $ 2,500.00
Carbon Fiber Spoiler $ 1,000.00
Grand total: $84,000.00 (pre tax and delivery fees)

 

[AU1985]

Matte Paint
Leather Seats
Supercharging

 

[donk71]

AWD and (hopefully) a winter package are a must for me. Others I'd like to have but will wait and see how they get priced:

Leather
Pano roof
Battery
Premium sound
Smart suspension
Paint upgrade

 

[astrothad]

Largest available battery, for additional range and speeding up Supercharging
Supercharging enabled (I wonder if that might be bundled with larger battery sizes to help keep the wait at SCs shorter - easier to get the charge you need in less time to make the next leg of your trip.)
AWD
Full autopilot
Air suspension
Glass roof (One of the points of getting this thing is being able to drive it places that are really beautiful, like Yosemite. Looking up will have its perks - not to mention lowering the weight of the vehicle, thus increasing range.)
Tow hitch (As Elon mentioned in tweets over the weekend.)

If this clocks in at $50-55k, that's still half the price of an X configured the way that I want.

I'm crossing my fingers that this sort of configuration, plus being in California, plus getting a reservation while waiting in line at a store on March 31 will get me the car (even though I won't have an S or an X if I stay with the 3) before the $7500 tax credit expires.

 

[ArtC]

Supercharger(if not included)
Auto-Pilot
Larger Battery
AWD
Paint upgrade
Others - depending on cost

 

[Subrock]

As much autopilot as they offer, bigger battery, supercharger of it costs more, and a sun roof. That's all I need

 

[Chrisuk83]

The option I will definitely not chose us wheel upgrade. The model s upgrade is around $2k! Pretty you could sell the original wheels and upgrade with aftermarket wheels for less than $1k

Yeah but those carbon fibre wheels on the matte black one... :drool:

Roof Rack - $70
