teslamotorclub: POLL: Model 3 Options, what will you spend your money on? part 1

So the dust is settling and now everyone's imaginations are on full throttle. Now that we know Autopilot is standard, etc., what options are you hoping to spend your money on when your configuration date is called?

Poll options are for basic, basic, BASIC realistic options (based on already known options). Feel free to add in your "wish list" answer in a reply as well.
�

You should add Autopilot Convenience option to the list because this is not standard. I am getting larger battery and awd and autopilot convenience for sure. The other options will see what the final price of those options will be.

Winter package.
�

Cold Weather Package, Autopilot Convenience (not just safety), Extended Warranty, Use of Superchargers if there is an enabling fee along with the largest battery. I'd consider performance with the AWD, but not *ludicrous* or its equivalent.

M3 reserved (after 3 hour wait in line at Scottsdale Gallery) to replace Hybrid Camry and supplement Model S. Now if they just had that pickup truck, we could go all electric...
�

Another vote for autopilot convenience.

Supercharger access if it ends up as an option/addition.
�

Full Autopilot, AWD, and probably battery.
�

I'm thinking something like:

- AWD
- Largest battery (assuming supercharger access is included)
- Upgraded interior (maybe leather, maybe vegan, maybe something else)
- Air Suspension
- Sound
- Tow Hitch
- Autopilot
- Metallic paint
- Maybe winter package if it includes heated steering wheel
- Any tech like HUD
- Maybe performance if it includes priority delivery and doesn't cost more than 5k.
�

I'm ordering every option available....because I want mine first
�

I guess Autopilot is a given?
�

I will get AWD if it isn't overly expensive same with leather. A larger battery would be #1 on my list so I can go further without having to charge.
�

I'm somewhat surprised at the amount of glass-panel roof promoters. Wow. I had thought that was going to be a dead-ringer for last place on the poll. Interesting...
�

"Other" Hatchback version.
�

Another "Other" vote for Autopilot and Supercharger.
�

No underbody rust protection? Or anti-static upholstery application?
�

What's a Tesla without AP and Supercharging?

This poll doesn't have it.
�

Any Tech package - Autopilot
�

Autopilot Safety is standard, but not Autopilot Convenience Features (that's what Tesla call it under Model S). Subzero weather package is on for consideration. Also possible for the Supercharging access if it's not bundled in with the larger battery choice.
�

Yeah, I didn't put AP in because it's "technically" a standard feature, same with Supercharging. I honestly can't figure out how to edit/add into the poll. Probably too late anyhow. Either way, if Tesla reads this (which they do), they'll see the demand for the "other" choices accumulate accordingly.
�

Leather interior, matte paint if it's an option and a larger battery for sure. If autopilot isn't standard I'd add that as well but hope it is and I hope SC are still free.
�

Dual motor
Navigation
SiriusXM
Glass roof
Heated seats
Large battery
Superchargers
�

Sadly, I can't hold my breath long enough for a convertible variant.

LED headlights would be great

Autopilot won't be standard, that is why they only say that the hardware is included as are the "safety features". (Which I think the safety features will be required by law around the time the Model 3 starts shipping, so that isn't really giving you much.)
�

I am just hoping a $35k won't be a $70k with all the options.

Larger battery winning by a significant margin, imagine that.

Yes LED lights are a good call. I would like to see a small tasteful spoiler offered if it fits the drag coefficient model. One more request is a standard metal roof no glass option.
�

Battery
Tow package
Winter tech
�

Umm let's see...

New keychain,
Curb feelers,
Back massage beads,
No smoking sign for the dash
Analog compass
Gaudy license plate bracket
Yeti sticker
Bug deflector
�

-AWD
-Vegan Leather / Non animal based options
- larger battery depending on how many more miles per charge it would add.
-Dash upgrade
�

The Glass Panel Roof needs to be smart glass enabled. There's no way the interior will last in the Texas sun without it.
�

front and rear cams ( option )
easy access panel to 12V battery ( to jumpstart the vehicle when 12V battery fails ) (standard)
foldeable rearview mirrors ( for easy parking ) ( option )
12v plug in trunk to plug cooler box ( option )

Not to run the price too high but these options exist on my Passat right now and I use them often.
�

Old Fart here......for me AWD (winter driving), Premium interior (nothing less than the equivalent of Audi Prestige level for me), Longest Range battery & the Air Suspension. Surprisingly they are the top on the list. My guess....$55K.

Model3Tracker.info so far has Larger battery at 80.2%. Very close to this poll. Amazing.

Wish List:

"Adjustable" levels of regen braking.
We have both a MS and a BEV i3 and I love the strong regen on the i3.
My daily commute is 20 miles one way and I can often get to work without ever touching the brake pedal in the i3. (Unless someone cuts me off in traffic haha).
The MS gives a choice between "none" and "standard" which is fine but I wish I could get a stronger level also. The MS regen will not bring you to a complete stop and neither will it significantly slow you at speed.
At first my wife was thrown off by the i3 but after a 1000 miles of driving, switching back and forth between cars, she's ready for the i3 level of regen in her Tesla.
It would be awesome if the M3 gave a third, higher setting.
As new EV drivers progress in their one-pedal driving skills having the ability to switch to "max" regen would be really cool.
�

Floor mats. I've added them to all of my ICE cars so might as well

Larger Battery
Autopilot convenience package
Supercharging if not included.

�

Larger batter, AWD are most important. The rest depend on cost. I've never been a moonroof person, but that glass looks awesome. Not sure how much it will cost. Maybe a sound package, or HUD package if it exists.

I would love some laser headlights, and connections for front/rear dash cams.
�

Larger battery, AWD, Autopilot, and (although totally unncessary) any type of performance speed upgrade.
�

Subzero, AP convenience, SC

Would also pay extra for a "Chrome-Haters" sport style edition.
�

My list of importance:
Larger Battery
AWD
Performance AWD
Glass Panorama Roof
Interior Upgrade Package
Smart Air Suspension

I'll probably get my Model 3 loaded, depending on the pricing. If it comes out below 65k I'll get it loaded to the top. Anything above 65k I'll start picking based on need then want.

lol no way a fully loaded 3 will be above 55k or so.
�

Based on a teslarati video the driver stated there will be 3 roof configurations
1. Metal
2. Panoramic fixed
4. Panoramic type sun roof

It will be interesting to see how they price out 2 & 3
�

My estimates:
AWD $2500
Performance AWD (Ludicrous Speed Upgrade) $3000
Interior Upgrade Package (Leather, etc.) $3000
Upgraded Wheels $1000
Premium Paint (Three-Stage colors or Matte Finish options) $1000
Larger Battery $5000
Glass Panel Roof $3000
Smart Air Suspension $1500
Ultra High Fidelity Sound Package $800
Total = $20,800

Fully Loaded Model 3 = $55,000

Click to expand...

We know (or are extremely confident) based on announced features and current pricing for S and X there will be:

Autopilot convenience features ($2500 for S)

AWD (<$5000 based on a tweet yesterday so say $4000)

Larger battery (which is $12,000 currently, so let's say $9,000 for Model 3)

Luxury package ($3000 for S, so let's say $2000)

Cold weather ($1000 for S, little price savings for Model 3)

Sound system ($2500 for S, so say $1500)

Premium paint ($1000) and

Supercharger access fee ($2000 when S owners had to pay for that as a line item)

Premium wheels ($1000)

And very likely a performance upgrade as well ($5000 for S, say $4000 for Model 3).

So we're up to $64,000. And this may not be fair, but if you're budgeting with the true cost, with 7.5% CA sales tax and $990 delivery we're at $69,790. All of the above are reasonable expectations for features and prices. If we knock off the PxxD version as an option it's still $65,000.

I forgot about taxes I guess, but I think you're estimates are way off. Remember, this is a mass produced car, stuff is going to be much cheaper than the S.
�

Do you really think it will be around $69K fully loaded? I am thinking around $55-$57K. Lets say 20% off each option...
�

I think $55k may be a better bet. Elon said well optioned would be $42k, or $7k over base. Double that and you're still only at $49k. Still leaves another $6k for performance type option.

Seems legit.
�

Click to expand...

True, but I discounted the options by 25% overall (all those features on the S added up are $38,500, it's only $29,000 with my Model 3 estimates). I mean, I hope I'm off, and the battery is the biggest variable (how much kWh, how cheap can Gigafactory make it, etc) so I definitely could be wrong by a few thousand, but we're not even talking about 'extra' features like roof options or adjustable ride height or dual chargers. The only way $55,000 is the top price before taxes/delivery, assuming those options are all available, is if we get a full 50% off all those items in the list (vs the Model S) and there's no other options like those things just mentioned. So then the other way to get there is to just not have some of those options, but I can't think what options they'd want to jettison.
�

My #1 priority upgrade is the battery. If I can get the range of 70D in the Model 3, that would be sweet. If they happen to be larger capacity to give me more than 70D range, I'll pour all my upgrade there.

Second on the list would be the interior or stereo, depending on what they end up with.

Having the all Pano in 70D now, paying for it was a waste. While it does look cool, that is not important to me.
�

rnelsonee said: ?

True
Click to expand...

We're probably a year and some change away from knowing the answer, so this speculation is kinda futile, but I do think everything will be much cheaper for the 3 compared to the S. The starting price is HALF for a car that is essentially identical. The only reason I could see some options being inflated, is because they made the 3 too cheap. I still think they should have made it a 40k car. I bet when it's all said and done their margins will be razor thin. Either way, I'm probably going to get a moderately optioned car, nothing fancy. That huge glass is nice, but I'm not paying 3 grand for it, nor am I going to pay another thousand for a 1 second 0-60 upgrade that will cost me even more in rubber .
�

Oh yeah, I'm really impressed with the price cuts they did so far. I think that's why I'm assuming they won't go crazy with cutting costs on options; if their profits are razor thin already, they might see options as the key to make a profit, at least for now since they are a (relatively) low-volume manufacturer.

I too am not planning on getting anything too fancy - $35,000 is still a decent chunk for a car. I know I'm getting AP, and AWD for <$5000 is a good deal if it improves range and the life of the battery (and my driveway is 900 feet long, so if it saves me some morning snow removal, great!). Nothing else is really needed aside from heated seats for me (std on the S).
�

Although I didn't put it in the poll, I may (grudgingly) get a larger battery if it winds up making the difference between getting the tax rebate or not. Seems like it would likely eat up almost all my rebate but if I have to spend $7,500 to upgrade the battery and get a $7,500 credit or not get the battery and not qualify it's a no brainer

It's going to be funny watching the madhouse unravel when these start shipping. People who's orders got delayed because the full glass was in short supply, or seat material etc. I don't think we'll know how to order the magical early model. I think at minimum, bigger battery is a must for an early order.

No, he said the average option mix (i.e. selling price) would be $42k. I think the upper $60's is probably right for a maxed out M3..

I think this would be a common use case for most buyers, maybe a long the lines of what Elon was thing when he said ~$42,000 on average (estimates based on above pricing). $43,000 USD (8,5000 in upgrades).

Autopilot convenience features ($2500 for S)
Glass Roof / Sunroof ($2,500)
Sound system ($1500)
Premium paint ($1000)
Premium wheels ($1000)

They should include more of these features in the base cost to increase the efficiency and productivity of their supply chain and manufacturing

I totally agree with this more than the guys saying 55k.. someone suggested Performance with ludicrous mode for only $3k, really?? Until they break the mold you have to use the S/X as the basis for comparison, with no options a base 70 is like $72.5k vs a fully loaded P90DL around $140k+!

To be honest I think Tesla loses money on Base Model 3, they have to make some profit off the options to survive.

My Other would be: Full On Auto Pilot.

Smart laser headlights are the latest and greatest. The sensors should be there for them.

I thought the pano roof was standard but getting the impression this isn't the case? If not, I'm definitely upgrading to pano roof. Leather is also a must for me. Lastly a good sound system. I 'think' I can upgrade the battery at a later date if needed correct? I may go for AWD depending on the cost of other options.

AP (of course), dual chargers, and any additional tech packages

Matte Paint
Leather Seats
Supercharging
�

AWD and (hopefully) a winter package are a must for me. Others I'd like to have but will wait and see how they get priced:

Leather
Pano roof
Battery
Premium sound
Smart suspension
Paint upgrade
�

Largest available battery, for additional range and speeding up Supercharging
Supercharging enabled (I wonder if that might be bundled with larger battery sizes to help keep the wait at SCs shorter - easier to get the charge you need in less time to make the next leg of your trip.)
AWD
Full autopilot
Air suspension
Glass roof (One of the points of getting this thing is being able to drive it places that are really beautiful, like Yosemite. Looking up will have its perks - not to mention lowering the weight of the vehicle, thus increasing range.)
Tow hitch (As Elon mentioned in tweets over the weekend.)

If this clocks in at $50-55k, that's still half the price of an X configured the way that I want.

I'm crossing my fingers that this sort of configuration, plus being in California, plus getting a reservation while waiting in line at a store on March 31 will get me the car (even though I won't have an S or an X if I stay with the 3) before the $7500 tax credit expires.
�

Supercharger(if not included)
Auto-Pilot
Larger Battery
AWD
Paint upgrade
Others - depending on cost
�

As much autopilot as they offer, bigger battery, supercharger of it costs more, and a sun roof. That's all I need
�

The option I will definitely not chose us wheel upgrade. The model s upgrade is around $2k! Pretty you could sell the original wheels and upgrade with aftermarket wheels for less than $1k

AWD and max battery (300 miles, real life range) are mandatories. Also HUD very much needed (have in my car now for years, could not live without it).

At first I thought they were just 5 spokes but the wheel is nearly filled all the way in. Nice
�

AWD, Autopilot convenience and potentially supercharging access depending on what the deal is with that.
�

Definitely a larger battery & autopilot.

Beyond that, I don't care too much. I might decide to go full mid-life crisis and get a top line model when it gets closer to ordering time. Especially if I think it would help in getting the full federal rebate.
�

My "Other" includes a tech package - like the HUD. I have no interest in leather.

I'd want an upgraded sound system, but not "Ludicrous Sound". As long as I can have my SiriusXM and a good Bluetooth environment to hook into my phones, I'm good.
�

My Other: winter package with heated seats all around and heated steering wheel. Will be second/commuter to my X so range and towing are not a priority.
�

In order of what i want most and with keeping the sale price around 45k i will get the following:

1) Auto pilot
2) Awd
3) Super charging access (if we have to pay for it)
4) Tech package (if they have one)
5) Larger battery
6) Any other visual changes (roof, paint, wheels etc...)

I look at it like this. I want to spend my money on what makes Tesla great and in my opinion its about the advancements in technology, and thus, i will pay for that first. I would love to have that whole list for around 45k, but i could do without the larger battery if that's what is pushing the scales towards 50.
�

I would personally like to see bundled "Trim Levels" or "Packaged options", similar to how Honda and Toyota do it, in addition to a pay per option model.
�

If I could have the option the have unplugged performance work directly with Tesla and get an aggressive body kit to match performance upgrades (I'm thinking BMW M3 body vs 3-series) that would one of my options as well.
�

I would go with AWD (I live in NJ where winter conditions can get bad), larger battery, panoramic roof. Depending on whether I qualify for the tax incentive would determine if I get any luxury upgrades (leather seats, wheels etc)!

I wonder how much range will be added with those wheels. If I remember correctly, the aero wheels for the model S, it was ~3%. 3% of 215 is 6 miles. That would put a base Model 3 (Rwd 224 miles) very close to the Model 70 (rwd 230 miles) with very similar performance. I would definitely upgrade to those wheels.
�

This question has probably been answered before...but how does the HiFi sounds package compare to the standard sound in the Model S? It will probably be similar equipment in the Model 3?

The HiFi sound is currently on my list of "wants" not "needs". My wife and I like to listen to music in the car...but we aren't audiophiles by any means. Also need to keep the wifey happy with the total purchase price, so if I can shave off some $$$ here and there that would be something I would cut.

Right now I want to dedicate my options $ to AWD, Larger Battery, and Autopilot.

for less than $5000 awd is a no brainer to me, greatly improved accelaration and if like the model s greater range.I hope all the options are this well priced
�

Have been reading the forums for about a year and a half. After standing in line for four hours and putting my money down last Thursday, I feel I can finally join in on the Tesla conversation. Feels good! Since this will be my magic carpet ride to see the USA I will be needing Autopilot, Supercharger Access, and the winter package. (To see my Canadian friends)

I 'think' I can upgrade the battery at a later date if needed corect?

It's unlikely they would let you upgrade your used battery for a new one later without paying the $20k+ cost of the new one; I think they just made an exception for a short time when 85D owners wanted to upgrade to 90DL.
�

Should add Supercharging, Tech and Auto pilot.

Does getting performance for $10g really only make sense if you also get AWD for another $4g ?
If so...that eats up most of my feasible upgrades.

It probably not only makes sense, but will be required. (AWD is required for getting the larger battery on the Model S, which is required for performance, which is required for ludicrous.)

AWD - moving to the mountains before my 3 arrives, so AWD is a must
Interior upgrades - leather, etc. I like the IDEA of vegan, but I simply don't like purely cloth seats. I do like the 'vegan'
i3 interior though, it includes leather that is tanned with a natural tanning agent derived from olive leaves.
"The extract from the leaves of the olive tree protects the leather in a natural way � giving it both an authentic,
unaltered look and an unmistakable character." BMW brochure
Upgraded wheels - the ones on the silver car on-stage - loved! 19" are plenty big - have you priced a full set of
replacement 21" tires lately? Tried to keep a set of 21-22"ers balanced and aligned? Won't drive anything smaller
than 18"'s though.
Larger Battery - increased range, hi-amp faster charging (larger battery required?)
Upgraded sound (currently have upgraded Harman�Kardon sound system and love it)
Auto-pilot upgrade - 'nuff said
Towing package (anyone else have/want jet ski's? My family practically lives on the lake during from spring through
early fall. This would increase my enjoyment exponentially)
Possibly paint upgrade, depending on the price. That 'candied' red was great - but I've owned an Imola red BMW for
10 years now, so it's probably time for a change. If the silver color on the car on-stage is an affordable upgrade ($500-
$1000), that would probably be my choice. Otherwise, white is my color choice this time.

**while I love the look and headroom offered by the panoramic roof, I can count on one hand the number of times
I've driven with my moonroof open, 70% of the time I even close the sunscreen on it! Can't justify the expense and
would rather apply the money to other options (such as a paint upgrade?)
�

I'm not sure I would select any of those. Our Model X is our main family car and Model 3 is meant to replace our LEAF. We loaded Model X up with everything except performance, wheels, and sound. The base Model 3 will blow the LEAF out of the water so I could definitely see getting cloth seats, the base battery, no bells and whistles.
�

Now that a few weeks have passed and I have calmed down, the most wanted are

AWD

Cold Weather Package

If enough money is left over, then I'll add the glass canopy which just sounds marvelous
�

Unless it's ridiculously expensive, the primary option I want even if I get no other will be AWD. Secondary might be Autopilot and Supercharger access but they could always come later I guess. Air ride suspension, premium interior, larger battery and upgraded wheels would all be nice but aren't must haves. I have a feeling they will be more than I care to spend. Time will tell...
�

Autopilot and any other tech related features are an absolute must, won't buy the car without them.

Winter package, premium interior and sound system are highly likely as well.

AWD, larger and panoramic roof are all extremely likely depending on the final cost.
�

I forgot to add Cold Weather Package. I've had heated seats now for 10years. They're especially important on an electric vehicle as using the heat on these cars drains the battery even faster than the a/c on a hot summer day.
Drain the battery, decrease the mileage.
Better to heat your back and backside than to heat the air in the entire car (especially if it's just you, or you and one passenger).
The addition of a heated steering wheel on this Tesla Cold Weather package makes it that much more desirable and in reality, more practical (better mileage in winter)!

Yep; I just hope a nice material other than leather is available. I gather that cloth and seat heating is frowned upon.

Yes LED lights are a good call. I would like to see a small tasteful spoiler offered if it fits the drag coefficient model. One more request is a standard metal roof no glass option.

Check out the "small tasteful spoiler" you can now see really well on this YouTube video (beginning at 1:17 in)
Great demo of the door handle mechanism
Tells us the size of the wheels on the silver car are 20" and "staggered width"
If you check the Model S build page it lists the choice between a metal roof and the panorama glass roof (a $1500 option for the glass). So it's likely the Model 3's glass roof will be optioned too.

Hope this helps!

The S can be purchased with a so-called 'vegan interior' - in fact the interior of the silver car was supposed to be materials from that same non-leather (pleather if you will?) interior option for the S.
I understand Elon is very supportive of the idea so I imagine you'll see something similar offered on the 3.
There's no deterrent to having heated seats with cloth, in fact I have several family members who have them. Smile on!!!

That is excellent news, thanks.

Is pleather fake leather ? My Lexus had it. Never again.

The base car should be a great vehicle for my wife's commute. These are the features I'm guessing we would get for that purpose.
1. Winter package - hoping that will keep the wife happy so that we can keep the climate temp down a notch when the range is really needed.
2. Good ground clearance. I don't really want to have to go with the air suspension, but we do drive on dirt roads with potholes in the New England, and mud reason is not fun if you have the least amount of ground clearance of the cars in your neighborhood. I don't know how heavy this car will end up being, but hopefully it won't sink more than most cars.

The options that could turn it into a family/long trip vehicle. My options in order of importance.
1. Roof rack capable. No hitch mount is really going to help carry a 26' rowing single and two oars that are nearly 3 meters long. With the car not being a hatch like the S, strapping small furniture items can't fit in the back or side doors and so it will have to be strapped to the roof.
2. Whatever roof option gives me the most head room. At 6' 4", I've heard I could fit, but not sure how comfortable it will be.

Nice options when it comes down to money, and federal tax credit we might receive.
1. Autonomous driving
2. Increased battery size (We do VT to Winnepesaukee or Maine and there currently are not any Superchargers on upper hwy 91 or 93). A larger battery size probably still won't get us there, but could minimize time at an archaic outlet.
3. AWD
�

We will probably hold out for the next model, as neither of us has ever owned a sedan, always opting for the additional space a hatchback gives us. Automatic braking and adaptive cruise control I believe will be standard by then, so there's nothing on the poll that we desire.
�

Sound system and bigger battery are my top two, but also depending on the exterior paint I may go premium for that as well. Currently leaning towards a silver or matte black. I guess I could install an aftermarket sound system but I really don't want to deal with the process.
