He was not aware of any end date by which any conversions had to be done.
So if you bought an SR can you upgrade for $1,500? Or is it $4,500 because you have to buy AP with it? Or something else?
The Wednesday deadline was explained to me to be only relative to the open request assigned to that particular call back team -not a deadline to file a request. You must make another request to be back in line.Other people have been told they have until Wednesday to make the decision to downgrade.
Can anyone with SR+ downgrade even if you purchased the car months ago?
Yes. Bought mine in March. Got $1500 plus tax refund for basically losing 20 miles of range.Can anyone with SR+ downgrade even if you purchased the car months ago?

Thanks for the info, and congrats on the refund!Check is in the mail. Wont be downgraded for about 10 days. The rep from Fremont said the front seats are still heated.
I thought the offer only applied to people who purchased before they announced the SR. But you can certainly ask.
Seems like a decent tradeoff.Yes. Bought mine in March. Got $1500 plus tax refund for basically losing 20 miles of range.

So I would just call and tell them I want to downgrade and that's it? I ordered my SR+ late February 2019 when they first announced it. I hope it still qualifies. I'll try to give them a call later today.
Here's another interesting article on Tesla downgrading SR 3's to a lesser software package:
Tesla To Downgrade Software On Standard Range Model 3
That has to come as a surprise to those that have been enjoying SR+ features. My apologies if this has already been posted.
Customers that bought the entry-level Standard Range (SR) Tesla Model 3 have only 10 days from June 7 to enjoy their electric vehicles’ (EV) features to the max before Tesla Inc. downgrades some of these extras.
Tesla earlier this year launched the base Model 3 for $35,000. This version was only sold as a software-locked version of the more expensive Standard Range Plus (SR+) Model 3. These early vehicles came with unlocked software that gave its owners access to features unique to the SR+.
On June 7, Tesla sent an email to owners announcing: “Your Model 3 will soon receive new software that matches the Model 3 Standard Range configuration you ordered. As we communicated in April, this includes a limited range of 220 miles, and the removal of several software features.
“To continue experiencing the extended range, faster acceleration and Autopilot features of Model Standard Range Plus, schedule a service appointment through your Tesla app.”
The new software patch will decrease the Model 3’s range by 10 percent. Customers stand to lose access to Tesla's onboard music streaming service and heated seats, among other upgrades. The complete list of downgrades will be announced later.
Owners can, however, reinstate the downgraded features by paying for them. That's an iffy probability, said analysts.
Tesla on May 24 began deliveries of its $35,000 base Standard Range Model 3 it launched back in February. This version came with software-locked features that limited range and a number of features, however.
At the time, Tesla limited the range of the SR Model 3 “by 10%, and several features will be disabled via software (including our onboard music streaming service, navigation with live traffic visualization, and heated seats).”
These limitations apply to the two versions of this electric vehicle (EV), which start at $35,400 and $39,900. Tesla said it will allow SR Model 3 owners upgrade to Standard Range Plus (SR+) features and vice-versa. Not all owners of the early SRs had cars with these limited features.
Not accurate on what downgrade entails: music streaming and live traffic has never been a feature of SR+ trim. They can't remove items that has never been there.
