I'm glad that the price didn't change.
Am I crazy or does this sound like it would cost more to produce, but the price remains the same?
Disappointed the price didn't go up.
I mean all the hoopla about this car being a major cost reduction doesn't seem like a cost reduction. They have changed 50% of the parts, everything looks higher in quality and now there's a second screen.

Looks like they saved money in some areas (stalks, fog lights, etc) and add content in others. No giga castings mentioned so far that I can see.
Not sure about any changes to the battery either that could reduce cost, good point on the eliminated stuff
Oh man, I've got serious FOMO. I wanna see the specs on the performance.
Hopeful this juices the stock price tomorrow.

Sorry but wow people here jumping to conclusions just because the influencers and car sites didn't mention Gigacasting and update batteries...which would be the #1 and #2 things that would reduce cost of the car.
I would be shocked if Highland isn't built on Gigacasting and we've had multiple reports (who were right about the date of release and details of the car) saying Gigacasting is being used and more efficient batteries going in. Maybe Tesla doesn't want to advertise the battery its using for Higland
Surprised by the reaction
Best new feature, as far as I am concerned, is ventilated front seats. (I would pay a pretty penny to get them on my Model Y.)

I wasn’t expecting a range bump on the LR, hot damn
Basically put all competitors to (even more) shame, wonder if it will also do over 400 miles EPA, if not it will be close

No, it won't. They say ~12% more range, so that would mean the EPA would be ~370 miles. (Or you could estimate 10% less than the WLTP, which would be ~379 miles.)
So nope, not gonna get to 400 miles.
Gigacasting's savings are off set by the number of parts now different from the Y. I mean I'm sure this car is probably not more expensive than the current 3 to produce, but I don't see "a lot less." The number of part changes was surprising.Sorry but wow people here jumping to conclusions just because the influencers and car sites didn't mention Gigacasting and update batteries...which would be the #1 and #2 things that would reduce cost of the car.

Anyone else notice the car reviewed has the Hankook Ion EV specific tires?
Lots of people here have really liked those tires. Guess Tesla liked them enough to make them an OEM tire.

You would not say that if you had had the rear bumper off of a current 3.
The number of welds is . . . impressive / shameful.
