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

[OCR1]

Does anyone know the difference between standard maps and satellite maps? What do I have in LR RWD model now?

Satellite means you can switch to Google's satellite view. Standard is just the drawing of the map

Best of luck.

You're not losing range, you also have 325, just wait for the firmware update:

$35,000 Tesla Model 3 Available Now

I wonder if they’re really changing anything, or just making the range at max charge say 325 instead of 310? The real EPA range for the LR RWD is 332 anyway.

You have satellite maps. Though you can turn satellite view off right? But you also lose the traffic visualizations.

With all of these new 3's about to hit the roads, let's get supercharging V3 going.....

Would only theoretically help at SoC below 50%. My very limited observation tells me that most of the time Teslas spend at superchargers is at SoC above 50% already.

Do any of these cars have a software locked battery?

I'd bet the SR+ is a limited MR. The electronic parts list initially said the drive motors were for the 75, 62, and 50 kWh versions, which suggests that as of a few months ago they expected to have the physical sizes, and now we have a fourth range in the middle of the lower pair.

We don't know. The SR might. (The SR and SR+ are listed as weighing the same, the MR weighs more, and the LR weighs even more.)

Based on the weight, if there is any software locking going on it is between the SR and SR+, not the SR+ and MR.

I agree. This would mean that the SR has the same battery pack than the SR+

90% charge on a SR = 198 miles.
90% charge on a SR+ = 216 miles.

If software locked a 100% charge on a SR would put the battery at 91.6% which would be fine I guess unless Tesla doesn't want to support it officially and keeps showing up the warning that you should not charge to 100%.

Supercharger congestion is going to supersuck with all the new cheap teslas rolling out.

They will show the warning. (At least they did on the 75 kWh cars that were software limited to 60 kWh.)

But it's more expensive to charge at superchargers

...and the base interior looks better. I'm sold.

Hasn't stopped the current crowd. And i imagine 35k buyers will be less likely to a) own a home where they can charge and b) if they do, drop 1k on a home charging station.

And road trip charging is where it can get really bad... (see Cali forum)

Plus Service Center issues. These cars won’t magically become Lexus build quality overnight. Wonder how that will effect loaners and such...

Most of current M3 have 6 month of free supercharging

I was close to placing an order until I took a closer look at the AP/FSD pricing. I was happy with the feature set that EAP provided for $5K but I don’t like the limited feature set of the $3K AP and I don’t want to spend $8K for FSD. So I’m going to keep thinking about it.

I have to admit if I didn’t care at all about AP/FSD features, the $37K or $40K models look very attractive, especially after tax credits. But what fun is a Tesla without those features?

If you keep thinking you may lose another $1875. NoA is nice but improves the highway experience very little. Self parking and summon are seldom used frills. Order the car now. The best buy is the LR RWD.

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?

And a range increase
