I never saw a HUD option which I think many here would purchase. I don't feel it'll be part of the $35K base car, because the essential info is close to the driver's right hand.

Model S logic is funny sometimes. you would be surprised to find that u would rather haul something in your Model S than drive your other car. The same will probably be true of the Model 3. and at that point. cubic carrying capacity will come into play.
I will be financing, so I am more concerned with monthly payment. Right now about $500 a month would fit nicely in my budget. But if there are some compelling options I am definitely willing to go above that. The silver lining of the car not being delivered for ~2 years is an opportunity to save for more down payment and no need to commit to a specific budget for quite some time.
I came up with US$99,000 for the one I chose for US, my price is that of a BMW M3 equipped as I would do it, assuming that Tesla will nearly match the BMW pricing range as they do with the S vs BMW 7 series.It will depend on what happens between now and then... (Like if I still have a job.)
But look at my estimates:
Base $ 35,000.00
Supercharging $ 1,500.00
Paint $ 1,000.00
Larger battery $ 7,500.00
AWD $ 4,000.00
Wheels $ 2,500.00
Auto-Pilot $ 2,500.00
Leather Seats $ 2,000.00
Premium Interior $ 2,500.00
Panoramic Roof $ 1,500.00
Fancy trim (Carbon fiber) $ 750.00
HiFi $ 2,000.00
Sub-Zero $ 1,000.00
Peformance $ 10,000.00
Ludicrous $ 5,000.00
High amp charger $ 1,000.00
Towing option $ 750.00
Smart Air Suspension $ 2,500.00
Carbon Fiber Spoiler $ 1,000.00
Grand total: $84,000.00
Like many, the likelihood of being able to capitalize on federal/state/local incentives would play a significant role in my configuration choices and budget. If, at the time I was invited to configure, it seemed likely that I could receive those incentives by building a more highly optioned car and ensuring quicker delivery, then I would be inclined to do that. If that was impossible or seemed unlikely, I'd probably be a bit more thrifty and wait longer for the car configured with only the options I deemed mandatory.
For me, fed/state/local incentives currently add up to $13,000 - a fairly large chunk of change.
I live in California and I am curious where did you get the $3K extra tax incentive?
41.4% are 35-45k. Hope we all get $7,500 or more in tax credits!
