SR Not Plus Waiting Room
- Thread starter Goodtohave
- Start date
I find it impossible to believe that out of 40,000 employees - not one of them reads threads.

Maybe they are thinking Chinese orders got free AP a couple months ago, and why not this time.

I really hope you guys get free AP.
As much as I like my Model 3, I don't think AP is worth even $1500 to me.

The announcement states that "All Tesla vehicles now come with Autopilot bundled as a standard feature for less than the prior cost of the option", so I assume this includes the SR models as well. Those who ordered the SR car before this announcement are grandfathered under the original $35,000 price. Those who order an SR after the announcement (in person only) pay the current price, which I assume is $37,000 ($39,500 minus $2,500 SR to SR+ differential).

35K peeps are getting a huge deal, yet were the people willing to pay the least. It's really aggravating since I could have returned my car up until a few days ago.
I've been supporting Tesla since the beginning. Could only now justify dumping my old hybrid, and look what happens right away.
For someone who has spent so much time and effort (and buying shares!) on Tesla, I'm extremely disillusioned.
This is how much I lost for missing the refund date, or not just buying a little later, or the cheaper version.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SR Model 3. Black interior/exterior, base wheels, AP added.
Base cost plus AP plus delivery times tax minus rebate
(($47,600 + $4000 + $1300) x 1.12) - $5000 = $52,900
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SR+ Model 3. Black interior/exterior, base wheels, AP added.
Base cost plus AP plus delivery times tax (2% luxury taxes when >$56,000) minus rebate
(($51,000 + $4000 + $1300) x 1.14) - $5000 = $59,182
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Price difference: $59,182 - $ 52,900 = $6,282
Good one 35K people. Seems the Tesla gods are smiling on you, while everyone else subsidizes you car

I called Tesla Canada about my SR with AP order placed early March. I asked about the price reduction and he didn't have an answer for me. Apparently all this is pretty new to him. Anyways, later in the day I checked my Tesla account and it shows my SR with AP at the base price of the SR. I have no idea what price is going to be in the end. I'm betting on $48,900 CAD. 47600 base plus 1300 for AP. I got the AP price from subtracting the SR+ with AP before the price changes yesterday, from the current price of SR+.

I spoke with Tesla Friday morning and they were just as confused as your guy. I really want to know what the differences are between the SR and the SR+, apart from 32km of range.
I keep reading talk about the SR not having traffic data, heated seats or premium sound -- but those are all things the SR+ also doesn't have.
I don't think I've ever suffered such buyer's remorse as I'm suffering now.

Sorry, I meant the SR+ does not have heated rear seats. I've often wondered if they are there but not active; same with the rear speakers (no sub in SR+, but maybe 2 disabled or not connected rear speakers). Still, an extremely tiny difference, and absolutely not worth over 6k for 32km and the possibility of no heated front seats.
Guess next week things will become clearer.
I did not submit my final payment until I was at the delivery center and completed a thorough inspection of the car. It was the last thing I did before I drove off. They may tell you that you have to pay before your appointment but if you just show up and pay on the day of delivery it will be fine. Ignore anyone who tells you otherwise.
My SR order also flipped to make a final payment screen this morning. I still don't see a VIN or that "we are preparing a purchase agreement" text that used to be on that screen. I sent an email to the delivery specialist to see whats up, I think she said in Texas you have to pay for the car first before delivery but I was expecting to see a VIN somewhere at least right?

I suppose it depends on what your daily commute is like. I can usually save about 5 minutes taking secondary and back roads or go the longer way to keep mostly on highways. I almost always go the longer way to have AP engaged. It is sooo much less stressful.
I got the same final payment message. No vin. No delivery date. Order agreement still says the old price. I’m going to wait until Monday and talk to someone first.
