The screenshot posted above clearly shows that this is not fan-art. Tesla made that sheet. It may be slightly outdated, but Sonny is right on.

eletrek just confirmed the sheet was sent to the stores today
The company sent the following chart through its retail channel today in order to inform customers about the basic differences between the Model S and Model 3:
Tesla says Model 3 will have fewer than 100 configurations to Model S’ more than 1,500

I only need 1 one configuration - Mine. LOL
Mid-range BMW does have tons more premium options, though.
Funnily enough I'd be more ticked if they are not accurate specs for Model 3.
Misleasing Model 3 specs to upsell more Model S would be really unethical.

Well, sorry you feel that way. For me, it just needs seats and a steering wheel and the stats on this sheet, and neither civics nor BMW's would be even in the same ballpark.

This is Tesla anti-selling the Model 3 just like they've been doing for months. They've got to keep Model S demand going at least until the release. All the demand lever's they've been making on the Model S are exactly the same thing from a different angle. The (now obsolete) removal of free-supercharging, the elimination of the S60, etc.... all little "nothings" that in reality haven't amounted to anything in order to prod people into buying a Model S now.
I thought the announcement in advance of the elimination of the 60, and then subsequent price decrease of the 75 was especially cruel as a double-demand lever... but it's what they've got to do to keep selling until July.

It lists less than 100 combos and no premium options. If that is not misleading, it does suggest a difference.
Then why do you spend so much time on his website. Tesla Model 3 Owners Club

I believe the sheet is authentic. I'm saying the information presented is intentionally vague and misleading in order to upsell to a MS for the next couple of months. I'm not falling for it but feel free to do as you wish.

with 100 total combinations, that doesn't leave many options. we already know there are 5 colors, 2 motors, likely 2 battery capacities and probably more than 1 interior color. That leaves like 2 other packages (heated seats/steering wheel, AP2).
I think when this configurator comes out, a LOT of people are going to be unhappy. If they want to sell more model S cars, just release the configurator instead of wasting manpower on anti-sell sheets.

Elon anti-sold me into an XC60. Put down a deposit over the weekend.
I like the big picture direction Elon is trying to go, but some things he does make me scratch my head.

If this leaked sheet is correct, and I think it is, it tells us a lot.
1. No air suspension
2. No HEPA filter
3. No pano sunroof
Also we can make much better guesses on options.
5 colors
2 battery sizes (10 options total)
2 wheel sizes (20 options total)
2 cold wx or no options (40 options total)
2 Interior packages (probably includes sound) (80 options total)
AP not counted because it is software only.
Actually this seems too restrictive, anyone have a different interpretation of what <100 configurations means? Perhaps options that only involve color/software aren't being included.
