So I called San Jose and got a much better response. Of course they are all trying to push the standard RWD. It does not sound like the LR/RWD will be made any time soon, if at all. The sales staff just learned about this 48hrs ago and expect to have more information next week.
I explained to Christian in SJ that I cannot afford the cost of the second motor AND the 3K increase in FSD. So he said he would check with his sources and get back to me. He said maybe we can find a solution that will make me happy. Lucky for me I have had contact with a person at a higher level in SJ in June to change my tire order then, so they are well aware of this old lady from Salinas who wants her car
before she drops dead!
I certainly hope that you get some solution that makes you happy from Christian in SJ, but it sound to me that he was just more diplomatically saying "cancel and order standard or cancel and order AWD."
The difference in price between the standard and the AWD makes up for what you would have saved on the vaporware LR RWD. The standard range is also premium interior unlike the standard range model 3 with partial premium. Standard range model Y is the exact same car as long range except 1 motor and smaller battery. Please inform us if you get any consideration with your LR RWD order. For me the decision is:
Get standard range and save a lot of money
Get long range and have more range
Keep waiting for what is looking more like vapor-ware.
Think of it like this: The price difference between what we though a LR RWD would cost, $45K and the price of a SR RWD, $42K is enough to buy 3 shares of Tesla stock. Settle for standard range and get 3 shares of tsla, not a bad consolation prize.
