Tesla Model 3 Announcement: $35k Model 3 Available, some price changes

[Garlan Garner]

No Elon just confirmed on twitter you get to keep what your bought!

Wait what?

Does the new EAP contain fewer features?

LR RWD has gone from $49,000 since I purchased it in August to $43,000. Even with the extra $3750 tax credit, it’s $2,250 cheaper than what I paid for it.

The price of early adaptation I guess!

People out there getting this car for $35k are getting a steal.

And how much have you saved in gas? I'm going to guess at least $700 ($100 month x 7 months ownership)

So now your car is only $1,550 more (but you got your car 7 months sooner...)

Not likely noticeable. I'd guesstimate, at best, a 0.1 reduction in 0 to 60.

The LeMR is listed as 0.4s quicker now....

So, I have to arrange a loan, complete the transaction, and then return the car if I don't like the way it suits me? And then go through all the trouble to get the money back and pay off the loan I just got?

I can't believe they are serious about this.

Website even says you can rent one for a roadtrip this way, if you wanted. What on earth.

You can get the loan direct from Tesla so it is hassle free.

They've done 2 huge price drops within 6 months before? Hmm. Don't recall seeing that.

My cars value has been dropping $2k a month in price drops alone, much faster than I can pay it off!

 

[Garlan Garner]

I didn't turn in my FSD for $5k and kept my free supercharging.

Now the price of my car dropped again.

I'm going to be supercharging like no one has ever seen.

 

[Glamisduner]

I can't imagine they'll take anything away without a refund.

The reason I think they will need to issue refunds is this might be a limitation of EAP2.5 hardware.

I don't see that anywhere.

N/M found it under model 3 owners club



Sounds like there is EAP, and EAP+

I couldn't get a loan direct from Tesla. Tesla shopped around for me, but They didn't give me the money.

 

[happyzod]

I rather have $2500 in my pocket.

It's been 8 months since you took delivery. Prices change!

Lets see....how much Supercharging will I have to do to get to $8k.

I'm no longer going to hesitate using Free Supercharging.

You can probably still ask for the 5K refund if you really want. The price just dropped $2K.

Gotta find a way to fill some batteries and bring them home to cover that! Also consider charging all your phone while supercharging!

I'd rather sit at a supercharger for $2k worth of electricity. I'm going to drive all over this world.

So far I have 22K miles on my car in 7 months.

The remainder of the life of this car is going to be free Supercharging

It is under "tweets and replies", he replied to someone so its not on his main page.

Great Ideas.

Maybe I can hook up a hot plate and make toast for anyone with me at the superchargers.

Dang it, I was about to suggest an electric barbecue to be held at the next supercharging station.

Yes!!!!!!!!

keep it comin.

Sorta true for some not for others. I took Delivery in October, got my car back from service in mid November. Paid 79500 after tax, and that did not include FSD. It seems we might be better off selling them at a 20-30% loss than suffering a $2k price drop every month.

haha i know right. FFS guys.. it's $2,000. Possibly less considering how much you've saved on gas, plus the fact that you've had the damn car for 6 months. So your "early adopter fee" is approximately $2,000.....

But here's the kicker. ALL OF US AGREED THAT THE PRICE WAS WORTH THEIR ASKING PRICE. We all signed on the dotted line saying to ourselves "yup. This product is worth this price. I am going to buy this product".

 

[tgouverneur]

Yes!!!!!!!!

keep it comin.

Evil MasterPlan:

+ Step 1: Buy a house next to supercharger.
+ Step 2: Run a cable from your charging car down to your house.
+ Step 3: Power everything out of USB hubs.
+ Step 4: Let the car die on the stall for the next 35 years.
+ Step 5: ???
+ Step 6: Profit!
