I can't see Tesla nickle and diming for these features. A Tesla is a computer. The most advanced car out there and the LTE connectivity and general "tech" is what makes Tesla Tesla.12) Tesla App remote access to car (For preconditioning and monitoring)
13) Keyless entry
Since this is just rampant speculation at this point, here are my guesses:
1) Turn By turn Navigation
Yes, included.
2) Power liftgate
Maybe automatic trunk open as an option?
3) Power Folding mirrors
Option. Model 3 owners club said on one of their YouTube episodes this was confirmed on one of the RCs.
4) Daytime Running lights
Standard. It's part of the cool headlight design anyways, not having them even in the base version makes no sense.
5) Internet Radio
Probably option. I mean, Tesla has such a huge contract with the cell phone carrier they go with, they can probably just throw this in for free anyways. But my gut still says option. Hope I'm wrong.
6) 400 KwH/year supercharger credits
Standard. Or maybe not that amount, but I would bet people will get at least some supercharger credits for free. You have to avoid buyers remorse with purchases this large and showing them just how easy it is to travel long distance with free supercharging credits sounds like one way to fix the anxiety some people still have towards EVs and long distances. Remember, some people are just buying the 3 because it's a Tesla, not because it's an EV.
7) Parking sensors
Standard. Cars way cheaper than 35k have these now. Plus this isn't really a luxury feature, it's safety. This isn't 5 years ago. Having this as standard tech is a pretty reasonable assumption. Now parking assist would be an option.
8) Web Browsing
Probably standard. Just bandwidth slowed down for people who use it a lot. This is kind of a differentiator for Tesla as a brand. Would be stupid not to include it as standard.
9) Power heated front seats
Hmm, for the front seats I'm saying standard. I'm wondering if they'll do a option for all heated seats, but again, simplier car, less features...torn on this one
10) Homelink
Torn on this one too, probably an option. But they'll have to have some standard way of opening the garage door if it's not homelink. Like some button you hit or something.
11) Alcantara headliner
Option, if offered.
12) Tesla App remote access to car (For preconditioning and monitoring)
Standard. Absolutely standard. It's a brand differentiator for Tesla.
13) Keyless entry
Standard, absolutely standard.
14) Driver seat memory
Standard, brand new Honda Accords have this and they start under 30,000.
15) One-touch power windows
Standard. My really old accord had this feature, and it costs way below 35,000.
16) Automatic rain sensing wipers
Standard.
17) LED headlamps
Standard and we haven't seen anything on any of the RCs or alphas to lead me to believe otherwise.
Adding on to the talk about the Model 3 having less features than a Model S, here is a list of standard features on the Model S and X that I think there's a strong chance will not be included in the base Model 3. Many of these features were at some point paid upgrades on the Model S, and I expect that some version of the “Technology Package" will be resurrected to make most if not all these features available at an added cost for the Model 3:
1) Turn By turn Navigation
2) Power Liftgate (Kind of obvious)
3) Power Folding mirrors
4) Daytime Running lights
5) Internet Radio
6) 400 KwH/year supercharger credits
7) Parking sensors (The sensors are there bc of autopilot, activation may be an added cost)
8) Web Browsing
9) Power heated front seats
10) Homelink
11) Alcantara headliner
12) Tesla App remote access to car (For preconditioning and monitoring)
13) Keyless entry
14) Driver seat memory
15) One-touch power windows
16) Automatic rain sensing wipers
17) LED headlamps
To Reiterate, I’m not saying these definitively won’t be included, but I have a strong suspicion they won’t. Any others that could be added to the list?
This depends on what exactly Elon meant when he said that the Model 3 will get free long distance charging.I'm not sure 3's will be given a charging credit.
I would hope that after half a decade some things that used to be options would one day become standard.Power liftgate?
I thought it was a trunk on model 3?
I doubt this is even an option.
I also don't get the logic that just because it's cheap that Tesla won't charge for it. Homelink, seat memory, and navigation were paid options when I bought my S.

There is keyless entry where you still have to press the fob and keyless entry where the fob only needs to be in the proximity of the door. I believe the keyless entry in this list is referring to the proximity version (I believe that was the option on the old S) so I think it's still an open question.13) Keyless entry - YO MCFLY!!, have you seen the RC candidates? Yeah? Have you seen a keyhole? NO. Keyless entry standard.
My prius keyfob needs only proximity... that'd be pretty sad if Model 3 didn't have that.There is keyless entry where you still have to press the fob and keyless entry where the fob only needs to be in the proximity of the door. I believe the keyless entry in this list is referring to the proximity version (I believe that was the option on the old S) so I think it's still an open question.

What would you want with an Alcantara headliner, when the default roof is glass?11) Alcantara headliner

Elon Musk says Tesla Model 3 will include ‘free long-distance charging’
What is considered long distance?
