SR Model 3 owners getting more than they ever could have hoped for

[voip-ninja]

For $35,000 they are getting

• Glass Roof
• Power Fold Mirrors
• Driver profiles
• Decent looking cloth seats
• Center armrest
• Usable center console cubby.

It's way more than I would have expected. It looks like heated seats are eliminated and Musk had earlier stated that "all Model 3s will have heated seats" so I guess something had to go.

I think dropping 2K more for the Standard Plus might be the better deal. So, black/aero/standard plus and AP will cost $40K.

No traffic in the Nav is a pretty serious cripple in my book

Full AP would be $42K. $40K just gets TACC, not full autopilot. Notice they claim summon will find you anywhere in the parking lot and it’s not under coming later this year, so it sounds like an update is imminent.

Do I see this right that the only differences between "standard plus" and "premium" are heated rear seats, software options and things that require what used to be called "premium connectivity" (music streaming, satellite map, traffic data)? Will "premium" owners still have to pay for "premium connectivity" after the first year as announced earlier?

Yes, Standard Plus config is really nice.
Better autonomy, better acceleration, better sound system, better comfort, better top speed.

Ordered std plus, black. So happy...with my smile stamped in my face !!!!

Many people getting the base model will just use their phone for navigation.

Two big differences are the seats:

Driver profiles is a bit funny. I guess the steering wheel and mirrors will move, but you have to manually adjust the seat.

What exactly is the difference? Looks to me like "standard plus"/"partial premium" have the same "12-way adjustable premium seats" that we currently have? Only the heated rear seats seem to have been dropped.

There is no "Full Auto Pilot"...there is only AP and FSD. Looks like "AP" is just lane keeping assist and TACC:

The base model does not have a power steering column. So it will move the mirrors and remember what radio station you like since it won't have Slacker audio.

Huh? Standard interior is manual seat and cloth, while "Partial Premium" has the power, heat and premium seat material.

So the standard plus gets slightly more battery? Does this mean there will be 4 battery sizes available? SR, SR+, MR, LR

 

[Zaxxon]

The Partial Premium seems like a no-brainer to me. For $2k you're getting 20 miles more range, better acceleration/top speed, leatherette, powered/heated seats, phone docks, and better speakers. That's a lot of stuff.

I was referring to the difference between "standard plus" models, which seem to include the "partial premium" package, and "premium" (which is what all cars had until today). Really confusing.

I think I'll wait for the AP till they drop price further

Will they still offer a free trial and same price after deal? Can you charge to credit card for points (like deposit)? Is sales tax based on address in profile or car registration

 

[OCR1]

Now I’m confused. For the LR RWD model I bought last year with the $5K EAP option, will I not get the same features that today’s $5K FSD are claiming to offer?

Confusion lies in comparing what is with what was....but comparing what is...its pretty clear.

Seeing as how the weight of the Standard, Standard Plus, and Mid Range are the same in the specs, it appears that the Standard and Standard Plus 3s have software limited mid-range batteries. That means only two different types of batteries.
