DamnitListening to Q4 Earnings Report Q and A - Elon just said that the first Model 3s will be offered highly optioned - as they have done with the Model S and X. If that ends some of the speculation about what will come first....
Can anyone comment on the process of preordering in terms of whether it locks you in to the highly optioned first deliveries (obviously not the Founder models), or whether you are still able to customize/delay when your number comes up. I'm interested in preordering on the 31st, but I'd also like to hang back if there are self-driving improvements or the like on the horizon.
I think they will offer the full line but higher optioned cars will be built/delivered first, similar to MX. Of course Founders or Signature cars, if offered, will be fully loaded.Listening to Q4 Earnings Report Q and A - Elon just said that the first Model 3s will be offered highly optioned - as they have done with the Model S and X.

Keep in mind that Model S begins at $70,00 and ends at $144,500. That range is pretty typical for other manufacturers also. We should expect the base Model 3 at $35,000 and fully optioned at around $80,000 or so. That is roughly the US market range for BMW 3 series, even a broader range in Europe. I'm planning on an $80,000 price tag for mine in 2016 dollars.No one should be surprised here. Even after that hardly anyone will be buying a zero optioned car. Expect a 35k base plus ~10k in options. IMO
Actually, it may work out in our favor if I can get first in line and deliver in 2017 and then hers a few months later, so we could do two separate full tax credits.
Summer 2018 for the common man, at the earliest.You are not getting a Model 3 in 2017. When Elon says production and deliveries begin in 2017, that means a few founders get their car in 2017. Maybe.

Agreed. On the call tonight he said late 2017, I'd assume 4Q.You are not getting a Model 3 in 2017. When Elon says production and deliveries begin in 2017, that means a few founders get their car in 2017. Maybe.

Oh no, I was agreeing that 4Q will be limited release for Founders, or similar.He said the same about the X.
Well, that's kind of too high of a starting price for Model S.
It was announced as $49,900:
