IMO this means there is room for the Model S to fall more, if and when a 2170-based battery option is introduced... or there is room for a more expensive Model 3 - if and when they introduce a more outrageous performance option. Remember Model S?
It is interesting to wonder what they could do to boost Model 3. When I went through that process, it made me appreciate how much they have ALREADY done to max Model 3 out quickly. They really got to P3D pretty fast, and the cars are pretty well equipped.
I didn't come up with any great ideas, but here's some:
- Tech Upgrade with faster MCU and high data-rate browser / hotspot
- Powered trunk opening
- Fancier upholstery (Real Corinthian Polymers)
- Premium paint color (not great for production rate, probably offline)
- Reduced nerfing (0.1-0.2 second reduction in 0-60)
- Offroad package
- Track package
- SpaceX fan package (special white and black paint, SpaceX logo badging, graphics on screen, ambient lighting (turns color during hard acceleration?), Easter Egg videos of every launch/landing, automatic calendar entries for launches, and a white driving jumpsuit that looks like the new space suit... kinda)
