SR downgrade finally coming!

[xanatos]

They are finally pushing out the SW to downgrade SR+ to SR:

Nice they are sending out that notice so you are again aware and at least thinking about what you have now and will be giving up and how important that will be to you. I notice they didn't mention paying any set fee to keep which I assume is the $2K or has that changed since I think the cars went up in price by something like $300?

It was $1500 at time of my order but now no idea. I got the email too

Won't it be hard to go from + to - ?? It just feels sad.

wasn't the original difference in price $4500? if they only want $1500 to go back to SR+ that's not a bad deal.

$3000 since I already paid for Autopilot on the SR, $4500-$3000=$1500

I'm a little confused.. I bought SR+... they're giving options to downgrade for a refund of money? What exact features will be taken away if you take them up on the offer. I already feel as if I am missing out on the fun as it is, since I did not buy FSD.

for someone that doesn't want AP-- do you think its possible to get the rest of the differences a la carte style for $1500 ? That would be better performance, heated seats and the range.

Confirmed I got the mail too, I bought the SR base back at the end of April. Curious to see the cost to go back up and if they will allow ala carte upgrades ie I just want the 20 miles of range back.

I really hope they do that. Theres a few things on my SR+ i'd like to upgrade

I got the same email, but I bought a LR with FSD. I am not sure why the are sending this to me. Called tesla, they have no idea why i am getting this.

I received the email as well and it has the typical lack of any useful information, that Tesla is famous for. It doesn't tell you what features are being removed, what the cost is to keep the SR+ config, or if AP is mandatory (which I really don't want).

Let's all hold hands and pray it is a top-locked battery

Ya pretty annoying, I suppose some details may follow before the downgrade.

The email links to the blog post from April 11, but they updated the Standard Range configuration on April 17 to include the heated front seats. I was given the April 17 information when I ordered my Standard Range in store on April 20.

I took a picture of the configuration the manager showed me at the store. Posted here. She said I could take this picture. (My original photo stored on my iPhone has the GPS location, time, and date embedded.)

The blog post has other conflicting info. (Streaming audio will be removed? Standard Range Plus never had it in the first place.)

They have the downgrade software now. Why doesn't the email just specify what's changing?

The monroney label (window sticker) that came with the car said my car was the Standard Range Plus. Is this even legal what they are doing-- regressing my car back to a version that differs from the window sticker?

I don't think the sticker matters. What matters is what you actually paid for on your MVPA.

It's certainly equitable that you get the car you agreed to buy and paid for.

I can second this. Been banging my head for weeks trying to get Tesla to honour the Monroney sticker as it had features listed I didn’t pay for. I finally got clarification that the hardware for the cars is fairly similar, and it is software that gets turned on or off to enable features. Cars are built to a popular spec, and then correct after delivery. That’s why MVPA is what matters.

Glad to see they’re rolling this out, otherwise SR+ buyers didn’t get the great deal we were sold on. Curious still if they’ll still have the offer to downgrade.
