When is standard battery model 3 coming?

[phaduman]

Any insightful guesses?

We are on hold waiting for the "early 2018" availability of the standard battery Model3. If we could get that car and also get the full federal credit (7.5K), that would be ideal. Also, any guesses when the 200K federal limit be reached? Q2?

cheers

M3SR will be out in the later part of Early 2018. Before June 31.

I'd be shocked if the standard range option is available any less than 2 months from now.

It would be stupid to build the cheaper model until they have built a lot more of these expensive models. As for the theory that the $9000 upcharge reflects most of the added cost of the bigger battery, I don’t believe it.

Anxiously waiting to know the answer to this myself since the $35k Model 3 is the one I lined up to reserve, sight unseen, on that cold 3/31/16 Seattle morning.

I think 2-3 months from now is a reasonable guess.

Seems like Tesla has full-U.S. distribution for the 3LR and is working down the later reservations. I'm thinking the SR will be coming in two to three months.
