    Tesla To Only Offer Two Configuration Options For Model 3 Launch

      Color and wheels. That's all you can do you when configuring a Model 3

    If you are one of the lucky people to order their Tesla Model 3 first, you'll be somewhat disappointed in the number of options available.

    At Tesla's annual shareholder meeting, CEO Elon Musk said buyers of the first Model 3s will only have two configuration options; colors and wheels. This is an effort to help ramp production of the Model 3 quickly.

    "You just need to decide what color you want and what size wheels, at least for the initial production," said Musk.

    Musk went on to say there would be more options for the Model 3, but didn't give a timeframe as to when they would arrive. Also, the Model 3 would only be rear-wheel drive for the time being. An all-wheel drive option will arrive next year.

    :roflmao: This is just way to freaking funny. I have coworkers who are all things Tesla and are excited for their AWD Long range battery Tesla 3 rather than buy an S model with those features.

    This is going to cost Tesla as I suspect those that were expecting to check the AWD and larger battery option will end up rethinking their options. Wonder how many will cancel their order?

    In April of this year, Teslanomics reported, based on 811 reservation holders who gave budgets, that the ATP would be between $45-55K "after upgrades". Musk stated last year that the average transaction price would be $42K.

    Most people have been theorizing the higher pricing would be necessary to come close to breaking even on the Model 3. Now they all roll out the door at base price with no optional upgrades. Not only will this be a downer for those hoping for a nicer car, it must absolutely kill the bottom line for the Model 3. This is the vehicle that will make or break Tesla.

      Do not forget that he also reignited his racist "why do we get immigrants from non-white countries and not from white countries" rhetoric. Oh...then there is the constant talk about war on his own citizens. Also, the constant attacks on Canada, the usa's most reliable and friedliest neighbour. Not to mention the  grifting and the corruption that allows his friends and family to gain billions of dollars financially from government coffers.  I have become NON-TOLERANT to ANY american entity.  I DESPISE maga, trailer trash and anything remotely connected to trump and/or the republican party. I HATE anything american that ALLOWS trump to continue on this path and I do NOT respect americans that allow this shyte to exist.   And many many MANY Canadians feel the same way. It is NOT just me...  It is, in the grand scheme of things, ALL of Canada that has this hatred for the usa.  And its not ONLY because of trump...   I as a Canadian, we Canadians DO have a dog in this fight as trump has THREATENED OUR nation politically, economically. His words ARE words of war and add insult to injury, some americans to this day do NOT understand the severity of it all.     Phoque trump Phoque the usa

      It's impossible not to think this.  This is stuff we've never seen before.  Recently, it was dumping feces on people protesting from a fighter plane on his own social media platform and now it's this.  A conventional RINO would (have) be(en) a Godsend.  I have become much less tolerant of trailer trash with all of this happening because they have enough critical mass to have put him where he is, yet he not so secretly despises them.

      I was very troubled by their finding Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle dead in their Brentwood area of Los Angeles home.  This brings up the sorts of things that have happened before, and I'm thinking of the late '60s and early '70s, so I was sort of creeped out. They've arrested his son Nick.  Not that it makes it any better or easier, but there may be quicker closure and the news said that his son had a very troubled past with addiction while growing up.
