Prediction: Model S Standard Features Base Model 3 Might Not Have

[Sonny Daze]

if my Audi A3 has Nav, my Tesla sure as hell will too.

But it is not standard (according the their website) which is what this thread is all about.

yes, it came with a lot of other stuff since I bought a Prestige.

Of course.....Audi doesn't have to worry about me finding gas stations, which is the point I was making regarding Tesla NOT including Nav.

one of the draws for me to Tesla is their leading edge technology.

not taking any steps backwards.

Leading edge of Nav is not Audi or Tesla. I use Waze for their crowd sourced traffic.

maybe so. but Waze doesn't have an integrated trip planner with TBT nav to Superchargers.

it's one of the same reasons Apple does so well, vertical integration. purpose-built hardware seamlessly mated with software.

I think it would be really nice to have nav with the Model 3, but I also think that using plugshare and google maps on my phone after about a month I'd never think about it again.

Does anyone else think that they might not offer Smart Air Suspension on the Model 3? While admittedly a nice thing to have, it seems to me to add a great deal of complexity to the manufacturing process while also adding quite a bit to the bottom line. Not trying to upset anyone, just looking at things that might not show up on our cars.

Air suspension on Model 3, a few months ago (before EM said 3 is going to have less features than 3) I would have said Very Likely. Now I would say Less Likely in the first few years of version 0. In second revision More Likely I think.

I don't recall any cars in the Model 3 price range offering an air suspension option. So I would say not likely on the 3.

According this article it may be optional...

Tesla is expecting that air suspension — as seen in the Model S — will be optional, the test-drive driver said.
