    They are obviously hoping to sell them all with FSD = more profit.

    Indeed, as FSD is basically all profit margin, just add it to every car in inventory... I see their thinking but no way I'd be paying even a discounted £3k for FSD. It's not worth £50!

    So does anyone have an idea of when MP3 production starts in China and when the first cars will leave by boat?

    There was a bit of discussion/speculation about this a couple of pages back in this thread.

    The general consensus was that working backwards from a mid-May ship arrival, that suggested a mid-April Shanghai departure date and given the 'just in time' manufacturing process, we could expect a likely manufacturing period around late March / Early April.

    I'm probably not allowed in here having an SR+ but here goes: This is a warning to you all ... if I hear of anyone getting a TM3 Performance and then driving it around in "chill" mode most of the time I shall be writing to Tesla ... with copies to Elon himself ... asking that the vehicle be recalled and subsequently reissued to a needy owner of one of the more "moderate" models. Yes, your car will be, err, more than lively ... yes, your passengers may get seasick until you tame your right foot ... but please don't force me to take this action. :rolleyes::D

    Same goes for M3P with FSD - the performance of a supercar but using a cautious, short-sighted teenage learner as chauffeur.

    Unfortunately due to having never had a speeding ticket previous to my M3P and now having 2 in the past 12 months i dont go around in chill mode but have to be somewhat more cautious now. i do look forward to been at the front of a queue at red lights though and still love the experience of getting to the speed limit very very quickly.

    Adding my name to this list, ordered 2 weeks ago with May delivery date. No phone call just yet to persuade me to the LR but don’t care, I’m holding out for my Performance order. White on white is the combo i went for.
