Performance Upgrade Price Change!

[ConcordeSST]

Well, this all turned around quickly. Optional $5k in exchange for Free Supercharging and Track Mode confirmed for all Performance Model 3s, including those without the PUP. Good stuff.

Why do you have the impression that P3D- customers also get $5K back? I don't read that at all in his tweets. I'm quite certain he only means that you get $5K back if you paid for the $5K package and not that free supercharging is worth $5K to anyone who has it.

People who ordered - paid the same price as people now getting the BBK/20s/spoiler/etc. Everyone that purchased a P3D of any flavor before this change should be offered the same lifetime SC or $5,000 option. (And the $5,000 is better for like 99% of people).

He said that he will make it right. I am not worry

What’s sad about this whole thing is there will have been far less outrage if Tesla force bundled PUP and raise the price by $2,500.

Tesla would have made $2,500 more over what they are asking per car and not give up a bunch of $5,000 refunds to outaged customers.

Who the hell is green lighting these market adjustments over there?

I’m careful to not think I or the average joe/Joann can just do a better job but this is so bone headed it hurts.

They are hating the hell out of me in the investment forms but f them.

You can’t have TSLA succeed without the car owners.

There is a workable balance between the two.

So now the P- buyers will get 5K back, which will make that price delta between AWD and P- like what, 5K? Now AWD buyers will be butthurt and he'll have to refund them. Then he will have spent all his profits from Q3.

That's right. AWD folks need to get a Twitter mob together too if they don't get refunds.

I wonder if he's actually done the math on that $5000. I, personally, don't think the old $2000 was underpriced especially if used properly for long distance. For apartment dwellers and people without garages though it might be underpriced.

In a perfect world I'd still get free supercharging as a first day reservation holder and early adopter AND get $5000 back... oh and the diecast car. I still want that.

Ah, I see. I wonder if he was thinking about that when he tweeted that? I'm not entirely sure he thought through the financial implications of that.

What? No, this is just wrong - he is NOT going to refund anything to people who purchased P3D-

EDIT: Hmmm tho P3D- owners did pay the same for not as many upgrades...

Even if everyone wanted the refund, they'd still have made profit in Q3.

Ahhh you are wanting to be "made right" for not getting the upgrades? I'm actually curious how he will handle this...

 

[Shizzrock]

What? No, this is just wrong - he is NOT going to refund anything to people who purchased P3D-

That's not what he said. Think about it. He said all P models get free track mode and also P- buyers got free supercharging. Therefore if you got free supercharging then you can get a refund.

Wait yea i gotta think about this more...I think that's also why he said he's signing out of twitter, he realized he dun goofed

I was thinking this exact thing. On top of it, he could've added the 0-60 upgrade option for the AWD model.

Will see what customer service say tomorrow:

The motors and inverters on the M3P are lot sorted for the highest sigma. The AWD motors are not the best performers so I doubt they will do that for potential warranty issues.

lol ok

 

[MP3Mike]

Will see what customer service say tomorrow:

Please give them a chance to get everything worked out first. At least a couple normal working days.

 

[ConcordeSST]

Even if everyone wanted the refund, they'd still have made profit in Q3.

I sincerely hope so. I know they'd still have had a profit, but at this stage, I think every dollar counts. I really do hope things work out well for all. I got a standard AWD and would be mad as hell if I had paid an extra $5K, but at the same time, I really want to see Tesla succeed. I hope this snafu doesn't hurt them too much.

The flood of calls. Someone just called in sick tomorrow to avoid these calls that EM just stirred up.

WTF, I just took delivery of a P3D+ yesterday.....
