RWD With Mid-Range Battery

[TallyGator]

Looking at the model 3 builder, I am noticing what seems to be new options. I think they are incorporating 6 years of gasoline savings into the price as well as the federal tax credit into the initial screen price. It makes it look a little cheaper.

Also, the RWD is now listed at 6-10 weeks with a mid-range battery and at $45,000 or $4,000 less than before.

The AWD is $1000 less at $54,000 and still comes with the LR battery. They have, however, added a tilde to the 4-8 week estimate. This could have an impact on the tax credit.

The performance is still at $65,000.

The Enhanced Autopilot is still there, but they have removed the $3,000 full self driving option. Probably related to the news of the new self-driving computer.

Seems they dropped the RWD LR model.

Maybe Tesla determined that the cost of upgrading AP2.5 to AP3 hardware will be greater than $3k and will only offer Full Self Drive to customers who buy cars with AP3 hardware factory installed next year.

I wonder if they over built supply of RWD for current markets they are selling in and are really just selling software limited long range vehicles at a slight discount to help move inventory.

Tesla confirmed to Electrek this is a different battery. The car is also 300 pounds lighter than LR RWD.

OK, so now I'm thinking....

Unless I am doing something wrong, the AWD Black/Black/EAP/Aero model is 1000 cheaper than when I ordered 3 weeks ago. Annoying

Cool. Good to know. Should shut all the shorts up. I’m surprise they removed the option for a long ranger RWD.

Even with the delivery fee? I don't think the prices changed any on that config.

White interior is $500 cheaper than I paid for less than 2 days ago....And my car still has to go into the shop

Supposedly not a software limited LR battery

No option for FSD either

No. I think this is trying to leverage the tax credit to get more upsell to the SR buyers.
And if this is 5/6 of the capacity, and they are cell constrained, they get to make 20% more cars than LR RWD.
More juice from the lemon.

The performance ratings on the updated 3 build site are:
260 mi range, 125 mph top speed, 5.6s 0-60 time

 

[outdoors]

My question is for those that purchase a 3 without the option of FSD be at old pricing or some new pricing for FSD? There is no after price up charge if it isn't offered.

Yup, with all fees it looks to be 1000 cheaper now.

Performance model 3 now listed at 3.3 sec 0-60

 

[Gavyne]

I'm so jelly. White interior is available to mid-range RWD! Ahhhh..

You lucky sobs, buy up folks, you have a cheaper Model 3 with white interior option that is still a beast of a machine, still just as smart as any other Model 3's.

Your right, back to only 5k for AWD vs 6k. Man that sucks too. Mine has not even completed the outstanding work and still has to be shipped off for paint too and the white is $500 less.

Of course I should still get Free Supercharging for life although it says pay per use in my account so I guess I didn't get that either

Yep and at $500 less too.

The delivery estimate for the mid-ranged is 6-10 weeks. This puts it at between November 29 and December 27th. This would still qualify for the full $7500 tax credit if delivery hell ends.

Wow, I did not notice this! My decision variables changed again.

The car is also 300 pounds lighter than LR RWD.

Can you link to where that information came from?
