TheVerge.com is reporting that the $35K Model 3 is still available for $35K (Without AP)
Tesla’s $35,000 Model 3 is no longer available to order online
“This price change doesn’t apply to the $35,000 Model 3 with Standard Range battery, which consumers will still be able to buy without Autopilot, according to a spokesperson.”

The Warehouse Line will start being more fully utilized, so slightly less cash than an outright sale. The greater effect will be on GAAP Net Income.
A report on Q1 EV sales in Belgium: Fors meer elektrische auto's verkocht
Model 3 at 810, Leaf at 387, i-pace/i3/zoe each at around 130 sales.
Audi e-tron at 113. Deliveries didn’t start at the begin of the quarter, and Audi still has a target to sell 2500 e-trons in Belgium in 2019. Good luck to them with that target, they’ll have to sell 2000 of those to Audi personnel (the e-tron factory is in Brussels).
So the largest competitor is the Leaf. The 60kWH Leaf has the same starting price as the SR+ Model 3 (47K euro), so I don’t know who will buy that one now that the SR+ is available. The standard Leaf starts at 39K, so that will eat up the sales to people not able/willing to buy the SR+. It will be interesting to see Q2 and Q3 sales data as SR+/Leaf/e-tron get into a steady state sales territory. I think at least 70% Tesla EV market share, maybe even 80+
Also of note: Flanders (the Dutch speaking half of Belgium) has a subsidy (2K euro for a Model 3) for private persons buying an EV, and least year only a quarter of the foreseen budget was used. Even with the EV sales surge this year, that will probably still be the case for 2019.

Back seat drivers on this thread complaining (spotted a couple already) about "poor execution" - stop whining and give Elon a break or start your own battery EV & energy company.
You sound like you'll complain if the 3 rocket boosters doesn't land exactly at the center of the LZs & drone ship.

Well, maybe I'm a bit sad, but I watched that whole video and actually enjoyed it
Always thought that American turn lights were both stupid and dangerous. The first few times I followed an imported American car here in Europe I had no idea why the brake-lamps started to flash. Nuts!
So totally agreed, Tesla should follow the EU spec tail-lights in the US, makes absolutely no sense not to.

Tom Mueller was credited with a lot of the design work at SpaceX. He is now acting more in a consulting capacity.In moments like this, when SpaceX is producing spectacular achievements, TSLAQ cult members try to pretend that Elon has very little to do with SpaceX - just like they are downplaying Elon's role in founding the company that later became PayPal.
At the same time when there's some negative SpaceX news (a delay or a complication), in an amazing turnaround it's all Elon's fault again, fraud and SpaceXQ.
So the TSLAQ argument is that SpaceX successes are not Elon's achievements, but SpaceX setbacks are all Elon's fault.
I'm not making this up.

I wonder if they are locked into the pool for the max of five years, but the Tesla bounty is negotiable each year. It would certainly depend on the number of EVs sold (the previous year?). Very good news.
Anyone who has the patience to call TSLA customer service and hang in there for a couple of hrs, might just be able to order the SR.
TSLA shouldn't have given this option at all, should just have stated that they kept promise on initial stmt, and that it was no longer available.
I endorsed the post after the fact. Can you please add me to the list?

A lot of 2016 deposit holders outside the USA - they have not had an opportunity to order the $35k SR yet.
Besides, both production volume and margins will continue to improve as time moves on, and as that happens a $35K model 3 becomes more important to Tesla, perhaps even lower prices than that down the track.
I missed that, but yes hope they can provide it to original deposit holders. After that, it and even lower price models should only be driven by cost/revenue/volume etc. and not based on the initial stmt that it will be available for 35K .. so say a few yrs down the road
OK, they should now advertise that leasing is available.
Should do a cheap AD campaign on the internet, so that any one who is searching for cars sees TSLA AD in their browser. We should see this in TMC too
instead of BMW, Porsche etc. (Although TMC AD might actually not be suitable for TSLA fans )Tesla doesn't have enough money to do much. It's a tiny standalone manufacturer.
