Standard Range S coming back?

[theyer]

I know Tesla has cancelled it and brought it back before...do folks think it's better to get an inventory Standard Range before they are out, or to count on Tesla bringing it back?

 

[DJP31]

Personally I’m holding on. Wouldn’t surprise me if it came back with the mini refresh that isn’t supposed to happen either.

 

[DanCar]

if Tesla wants to sell more Model S and X they will bring back this $10K discount.

 

[luvnMyTS]

Come on, do you really have to ask? It's Tesla, of course it's going to change. It'll be back, then cancelled, then back, then cancelled, then......well, you get the point.

Near end of quarter of pre-refresh, to help move product fast.

 

[T.R.T.e.s.l.a.]

I don't know about the US, but here in Europe lots of standard range MS appeared just today as inventory cars

My hope and bet is that they do it shortly before the rumored refresh, to move product, then only sell higher margin long-range versions for a while after they update the car.

Isn't that what they did before Raven? They were selling a standard range limited 100 battery for a short time earlier this year.

They dropped the 75D in Jan and then brought it back at the end of Feb with the launch of the SR/LR. Then they dropped it in March and brought it back towards the end of April. Then they dropped it again in the middle of July.

 

[meomyo]

is the 75d not avail now? only 100d?

 

[Chaserr]

Correct only 100D. And when they offered "standard range" it was a lot more than the 75D battery could reach.

 

[iRia]

I predict they may use it as a demand lever for S.

For X? It makes less sense with the reduced pricing now.

 

[kev1n]

lot of "standard range" model s new inventory, so they are pumping them out whether its officially on the website or not lol

 

[DavidPetr.]

Is the standard range car software limited 100kw or 75kw? If software limited can it be upgraded later?

 

[meomyo]

haha thats for sure. someone will buy the lr then the standard range will come out days after that and he/she will be pissed...;lol

It bums me that we bought the 75d vs the 100d cause of the price 1.5 yrs ago when now i priced the 100d and its so close to what we paid...and now the pearl white is standard?? why? frustrating

It's appears to still be in production. Looking at EV-CPO right now the highest VINs listed is 339955, and that's a Long Range. Scroll down a bit and there's a bunch of Standard Ragne in the 338600 - 338800 range.

So they're just pushing the people ordering online to Long Range to pump up ASP but the Standard Range is still available for those who don't need the long range and know how to find a deal.

That's interesting...I've been seeing newer SRs pop up in inventory but I was wondering whether those were just showroom cars or older inventory that was getting pushed out. The VIN thing seems to explain it.

Hoping they lower the price soon, used to be $10k difference with Long Range, but now only $5k

We're heading into September, the last month of the quarter. The past few quarters they've done really good deals at the end to pump up the numbers so if you're interested in a new SR Model S then be on the lookout and be ready to buy.
