Stealth Performance Now Available!

[RC2785]

Interesting how the optional upgrade is free. However it looks like you would need this upgrade if you want track mode, also the top speed is also higher with the upgrade, is this just software or a difference in motors?

Who wouldn't want the upgrade!?!

The only thing I can think of (if this isn't a mistake on Tesla's part) is that now that the vehicle without the package has 322 miles of range, rather than 299 miles of range, they're trying to convince people to pay the same price for both? Makes little sense to me, but I suppose it might trick some people.

But basically you get "More range" or "Less Range with Some Useless Goodies to offset it" (To be clear Track Mode is not useless but it's not clear what you get.)

I don't think this is likely. My guess is it's all messed up, since currently it's far from clear what you get without the upgrade package. I guess we'll see.

So they are removing track mode from the P3D- now? I wonder if I still have that feature on my older P3D-?

doubt it, they never remove features on cars that already have them, and tbh that sounds kind of illegal too.

You may be able to recover that range if you replace the 20 inch wheels with aftermarket 18 inch wheels. Not too sure though.

All the Stealth owners should be happy now, their cars have increased in value!

 

[Msjulie]

Lol. Pretty sure that button exists and is frequently used.

The button we have is more like disapprove. I just disagree

 

[AlanSubie4Life]

Also makes the 2k LR AWD acceleration boost a decent deal again.

Especially since it looks like the P3D- no longer gets track mode (since they specifically list TM as something the Performance Upgrade adds now)

I guess we'll see. Weren't there 2020 Performance Stealth models delivered end of last year with Track Mode? What would happen with those?

WooHoo!

I wonder if Tesla is doing this to “incentivize” people to put in their order rather than continue to wait for a stealth to show up. Maybe too many people were pestering SAs to help them find a stealth. Now, these folks might purchase an AWD and add the performance boost.

I'd assume anybody who has it keeps it- just like 2018 buyers who already had EAP kept it even though it's not sold anymore

I agree with you. I won't be surprised if it changes in the upcoming days...and then changes again a few days later....and so on and so on...

Looking at the Model Y configurator to see if it had the same option (it does), I noticed they changed the performance wheels on them.

They also changed the standard wheels and no longer offer the 18 inch wheels. The new standard is 19 inches with an optional $2000 upgrade to 20 inches (which arent the same as the performance 20 inch wheels)

Also, the model Y performance upgrade wheels are 21’’ Überturbine Wheels.

Tesla is always changing up the offers...

Whats weird is that the 20 inch wheels are only available on the long range. On the performance you only get 19 or 21.

Yeah. We'll see how this all settles out. Just seems a bit strange that the Stealth went from the best deal to the worst deal - though with the acceleration boost I would not have been surprised to see some price bump - but the same price as the 3P+? Seems weird.

Who in their right mind is going to pay the same price for 18" wheels, stock brakes, no spoiler, etc?

I would the expect the take rate to be low. Just get the optional stuff in the package and get a 2nd set of wheels/tires and sell the 20"s if you can't use them in your neck of the woods.

 

[CrayZ1]

This is what is really frustrating about the ordering system now. You can't order even simple things like wheels à la carte.

I do not like the new trend of running ultra-low profile wheels on street cars and trucks. Yes trucks too are infected with 22's with rubber band tires.

 

[AlanSubie4Life]

Yeah, pretty much looks like the Stealth is now the most expensive (by far!) it has ever been, after accounting for credits and other adjustments (it maxed out at $64k before, but those people got $5k back or FUSC). It's a terrible, terrible deal. Thanks to @GenSao for his data tracking, guess he'll probably update this sometime soon.

maybe the myp- with 20s will be inventory cars? When I got my m3p- in July ‘19 I was surprised to see I could get it in either 18s or 19s...both were in inventory. I thought they only came with 18s.
