Price of DM increased again, this time to $6,000

[voip-ninja]

wow.

I wonder if this is to try to move out RWD inventory.

Will it go back down?

What is DM?

 

[voip-ninja]

What is DM?

Dual motor AKA AWD.

Also eliminating Silver metallic and obsidian black as paint choices. For a limited time customers can still order them for $2,000.

 

[hotony13]

wait a minute... they're getting rid of silver metallic?!?!?! when does it officially go away?
Edit: I'm doing a test config, and still see silver metallic available for $1500

Tesla to eliminate some paint options to increase production efficiency, gives last chance to order

Tesla increases price of Model 3 Dual Motor AWD again

I had an AWD Model 3 configured and I was ready to order...

I refreshed the page to double check everything and show my wife the order and the price was higher! Gah!

$5k was pushing it and I was already on the fence. Looks like I'm ordering a RWD!

I would go AWD still. I predicted this move over two months ago. Demand is completely inelastic at 4K, and 5K so they need to go 6K.

Phew, I’m so glad I ordered my OBM AWD when I did, plus I get free LTE! Finally I feel like my reservation paid off!

Don't forget the $200 increase on destination as well

OBM (+$1K) and AWD (+$4K) here too. No free LTE after the first year, but happy I got in when I did.

 

[SoCalGuy]

Wow looks like silver metallic will be even more rare! #feelspecial!

 

[Daniel in SD]

I guess having 5 monochromatic “colors” was too many. It would be great if they make limited edition colors a thing. There are 4 red Model 3s at my office (of 50 people!). Need some variety.

I'm feeling really good about my OBM AWD ($4,000)!

Anyone here read the comments on Electrek? Some posters there never cease to amaze me.

IMO, it is moronic to think Tesla raised the price of AWD in order to drive people back to RWD. It's obvious they underpriced the AWD option and the increase is to collect easy money.

 

[TurnFast]

What’s funny is each time they do this it makes it harder for someone with an existing awd order to rationalize upgrading to performance when they think about how they are already getting a special discount on their current order that they won’t get upgrading to performance.

AWD and Performance pricing delta is still the same

Damn! I changed my order from RWD to AWD on Saturday, but still waiting for it to update online. Sales rep said it would take some days to update online...and now the price went up! I’m hoping they can respect the price it was a few days ago when he “technically” submitted the change....

IMO this is moronic.

They used to charge $5k to upgrade from RWD to AWD Model S.

They have too many RWD Model 3 and not enough AWD Model 3. This is quite clear from delivery time estimation.

Raising the price for AWD will make some people not take the AWD option, like Gur814.
