STANDARD RANGE MODEL 3! - Why Did I Sell My Performance Model 3? 

@Marc Benton It says heated seats are included is SR. Is it a mistake? You said heated seats are disabled.

Marc Benton - how many speakers does it have -- sound system - ?? Sorry if I missed it in the many comments below. Thanks for the video.

@@derrickludwig It has the same number a speakers as all other Model 3's but some are disabled. As of now, its hard to tell which ones, if any, are disabled but they are supposed to disable them.

Marc Benton For $10 a month you can have streaming music

Turbocharged Dude yep, it’s great when you want to use that power buy by far, most driving it is just like any other Model 3.

Hehe, the best part is when you want to change tires and you realize those 20 inch wheels only accept the most expensive tires with almost no choice of all season options.

Each to their own. I am coming from the opposite perspective. I watched Jason from Engineering explained share all the reasons why he traded in his standard range for a p3. Largely because of the lack of an Induction motor. It's like you are paying for real thing anyway, you might as well get the real thing for only a few tens of thousands more. I will qualify this by saying I am buying with cash for long term and rolling the purchase price in with my mortgage in one year, so I will only have monthly payments of a few hundred dollars more than my mortgage payments for one year until I renegotiate my mortgage and consolidate. Those that are leading, or whom are taking on huge monthly payments more than the base price might not have the freedom to opt this way....but since I did, the only consideration is adding extra time to having a mortgage (never pay it off anyway) and less inheritance for my daughter. Her inheritance will only reduce 10% and she gets to use the car too today as most of trips will be to take her to soccer etc. Lol.

My wife yells at me if I floor my LR RWD model... I had some buyers remorse wishing I waited for the P3D but in all honesty I know I'd rarely use the extra power, in fact it would probably get me in trouble more than anything. But of course, still considering the performance Y ! The SR seems like an amazing deal. I personally need the LR because of frequent long trips a few times a month, I need the extra range or it would cost me a few hours per month, which would wash away savings in my eyes.

She must be in the car a lot to regret it.

Gregory Crum like maybe a Performance Y? 😬

You’re definitely not a car person 😂

Mo Ceesay it was $36500 before taxes and delivery fees (which is another $1200 or so). But totally out the door was really close to $40k. But still a heck of a deal for this car.

Interesting move man. Keep on uploading!

@@marc_benton To me the best part is that the battery is software limited, so you can charge the battery to 100 %, because you are really charging to 90 % , so you get the same range that with the SR+.

Cristian Federico yep! It’s a beautiful thing! 😬

Thanks Marc. I'm debating with the same a similar situation. Do you happen to know if your standard range car has the new Tesla V3 hardware chip? Also is it easy to get an appraisal for a trade in with Tesla? Thanks.

Agreed, its not terrible really but they do play the same songs over and over. I did like having Tune In but now I just stream it from my Tune In app.

P3D Milzy I couldn’t have either... but gotta do what’s best for the family long term. We are blessed and far from broke... after all, we still have two Tesla’s, but we needed to plan for the near future. Our Model X lease will be up later next year and need to prepare for getting the Y as the family car.

I think the RWD long range model 3 is the best, most practical car.

How is it a scam?

@@marc_benton The scam is: they talked me into buying the SR+ due to the partial premium interior. Turns out the SR never existed. I paid much more, and much more in tax, for the exact same car. You got the ultimate deal. An SR+, with fully upgraded interior, larger battery, electric mirrors and seats, for the price of an SR. I'm happy for you, but not for those who paid so much more for the SR+.

Mick that’s not a scam... you paid $4500 more and you are getting AP, traffic with nav, streaming audio and heated seats (I’m sure these will disappear from my car soon).

@@marc_benton No sir. As it stands, my car is identical to yours. No traffic data or streaming audio. Where I am, it was $5k more, even with autopilot on both the SR and SR+. I picked mine up on Mar 30, to try to help Tesla with Q1. They've said they'll take away heated front seats, disable fog lights and 2 tweeters, then software cap the battery by 10%. None of that makes any practical difference. The sound system, as you know, is not the greatest already and the tweeters make no difference to my ears (A-pillar, top ones). Fog lights? Useless. Heated seats in the front only? Not worth 5k. The range is the same because now you can charge to 100%. The cars are practically, even if they lock out features, identical. I was talked into paying 5k more for the partial premium interior. Anyone who pays 5k less than me got the same thing. I'm happy for you though. Very happy. It's also about the best car in the world, EV or not, so even if I threw money out the window, I'm still glad to be in a Tesla.

@@lubricatedgoat I totally understand. I would not be super happy either if I was you because those features are not all that important to me either, which is the #1 reason I jumped on the deal. To me, this car is a STEAL at $35k for what it is (even paying a little more for paint is worth it IMO). But yea, I get where you are coming from.

I never said I couldn't afford it. I could, if I chose to keep the P3D. I thought it was smarter financially to get the SR because it meets all my needs.

Time to build one! :D

Jason Granovsky no doubt. It’s certainly slower than my P3D but still faster than most cars on the road. As Elon says “Tesla doesn’t make slow cars”. 🤘

Most don't know they can get one for such a great price

Cool software, shitty build quality.

Nils Pedersen keep telling yourself that. My Tesla is built better than every other car I have had and CERTAINLY LESS issues.

no, no it doesn't, only the SR+ has the partial premium.

Michael Kress you could totally do a road trip in the SR Model 3, it just may take you an extra stop or two, depending on how far you are driving. I will be driving this 3-4 hours away and I’m not worried at all. The Supercharger network is amazing. 😬

superchargers are 120 miles apart, so you'll be fine.

@@RPhTom I think they are, at minimum, 150 miles apart.... but either way, no worries traveling in a SR Model 3.

but why? It's silly to take any car you own on a road trip, rental cars are so cheap, put the wear and tear on them instead of your own cars.

If you can afford it, buy the LR Model 3. You never know when you will need the range and there have been many times where I wish I had the LR instead of the SR+.

Brandon Balcer thanks Brandon! When I modified my first cars finances was not an issue but our family made a choice to be closer to family by moving (personal reasons) and finances changed. I don’t regret modifying my other cars but what I do to this car will be very basic, like tint and chrome delete.

Trades in the Flat Brimmed hat and things will only get better.

The center console looks just like every other Model 3 made.

Sean O yes, all of those things are safety features and are included. 👍

Marc Benton Thanks for your help! I ordered a standard range plus model 3 yesterday! Hope I get it before New Years!

@@seano5709 Awesome Congrats!

No, it doesn't have it. It does have the holes in the lower front diffuser like Erik's though.

Well, people that know Tesla's and/or Model 3's would/could know the difference. I've already modded the car some (see some more recent videos) but I am not trying to make it look like a P3D. I just want it to look how I want it to look. There was a small run of P3D's that have Aero Wheels (they don't have the performance upgrades like the 20" wheels or larger, red brake calipers) but most of them do have those things. But you can't just go by "having red brake calipers" either because many people have painted their Brembo's red because they like that look and they've put 20" wheels on them. So sometimes it is really hard to tell. I've had many people ask me if my SR is a Performance Model, just based on how it looks. I tell them "No, its not... I already had one of those and while they are amazing, this is not one". Lol But I am not trying to make it look like a P3D, I just want it to look line MINE. :)

@@marc_benton Yeah point taken. I'm in Australia and recently ordered a black Standard Range Plus, due in September. I showed the kids your black P3 and said "I'm gonna make the car look like this; the best black model3 I've seen". The way I see it, I saved myself big dollars for the same look.

turbomax2001 very cool! And thanks! 😬 It was a beauty for sure and nothing wrong in making the car look however you want. And even the SR+ is faster than most cars. Lol

Michael Mobley I will miss the performance but I won’t miss the payment. 😬 And even the slowest Tesla is faster than most cars.

@@marc_benton and another reason to always save and pay cash, instead of having payments.

Dan not gonna get into a debate but to me it makes zero sense to pay for a car with cash, which is a greatly depreciating asset. I’d rather pay 1.75% interest for the car and put that cash into stocks where I can average 15% a year. 👍

@@marc_benton I agree, that's true. However, most people won't and don't put the cash into investments. Most people live paycheck to paycheck and only look at how much the car payments are, not the interest rate or the end cost. I guess my point is, that people should save for the things they want first.

Dan that much I will agree with 😬

But they give you leather seats, when they supose to be textile.

@@cristianfederico2411 Tesla never produced the base model's seats. They were going to be textile with manual controls, an open center compartment, a manual steering wheel and many software limited features. That's why the base model is such an incredible deal and I hope that thousands of people realize this.

Bellagio oh moving definitely helped! But right now, keeping the P3D just didn’t make financial sense, since it was my toy. So I got a Model 3 that I can pay off.... and still be able to own a Model 3.

Dujuan Johnson yes, pretty much right at $40k. Of course, then you can still get the $3750 tax credit off that (hopefully they pass the new law and allow $7k). It’s a great buy.

Taxes vary by state. In sure deliver fee of $1200 though

Mine was $42k after taxes and delivery fees. Federal tax credit is $3750 and CA rebate is $2500 for me. Plus the gas savings! I got the SR white on white.

I do not carry a spare tire. No need to with Tesla Service. I love white seats in general but you MUST get them ceramic coated and then wipe them down weekly to keep them clean for the long term. If you wear blue jeans, you will get blue jean transfer if they are not ceramic coated.

Fernando Calero it was $35k plus $1500 for the white paint. The Standard Range does not have cloth seats, it has leather seats. They changed it from cloth seats. So my car was $36500 before tax and so forth.

Are the seats still electronic or manual? Same question for the steering wheel. Great video. Thanks

@@MTMnet2008 The seats and steering wheel are just like every other Model 3... they are electronic. :)

burlingame87 AP is $3k for the SR...it’s included in the SR+.

No, I did not buy AP. I know I can buy AP for $3k but not sure how much it would be to upgrade to a SR+ after taking delivery. Before delivery, it was $4500 for the SR+ but that included AP.

@@marc_benton I haven't purchased AP yet and the price keeps changing on my account. It was orginally $4k, then $2k on sale last month, then back to $4k, and I just checked and it is $3k.

PDK Life and Times it has LTE, it was probably just connected to the SC because that’s where I was.

ok. But it really does nothing for you in that configuration since no streaming, traffic, satellite maps or web browser. Just updates right?

PDK Life and Times correct

@@marc_benton I thought it still does traffic updates via LTE in the background when navigating best/fastest route, it just doesn't show "visual" live traffic like on premium version. I'm not sure if there's any way to confirm that unless you're side by side with a premium version or pull up Google maps on your phone?

Josh I don’t think anyone will hear a difference in the sounds in a SR and a SP•. The sound in my P3D and first Model 3 was great and I can tell a difference in that but is it worth the premium, not sure.

Chuck Hill ha! Go Preds! Thanks Chuck!

Selvyn Giron I did pay extra for paint ($1500 for white) but that is the only extra I paid for, the wheels are the standard wheels (aero wheels). I would recommend buying the biggest battery you can afford. In my situation, the battery size didn’t matter,that’s why I bought this standard but if you can afford a Long Range Rear Wheel drive, that’s what I would buy. Make sure you use a referral code when ordering so you ge the free 1000 miles of supercharging. And if you need one, mine is www.ts.la/marc57969 . 👍

@@marc_benton Isn't long range 10k more? Seems to much of a difference in price. I'm in southern ca so I don't have freezing temperatures like others

Selvyn Giron yes, it is quite a bit more. The standard range or standard range plus a a great value, that’s what I would get. 😬

@@marc_benton I don't see standard range or plus as an option on the website

Selvyn Giron you can order the standard range plus on the website but you have to call to order the standard range (it’s not on the website). Here you can order the Standard Range plus: www.tesla.com/en_US/model3/design?referral=marc57969&redirect=no#battery

Alvaro Escalante can’t beat it!

C Angel when I bought mine, the white paint was $1500 so I paid $36500 before taxes and all that.

well, right now a lot of that is still up in the air. As of now, I do have heated seats and I was told they would be turned off (along with the range reduction) but until it happens, I am not sure. They did say that I could add AP for $3k later if I wanted to but they didn't say anything about being able to turn the other SR+ features on. But it wouldn't surprise me if they will do upgrades for various fee's. Why wouldn't they, it's just a software change... all the equipment is there.

Just saw that the heated front seats are indeed included in the SR and the SR+.... so there is no difference.

@@marc_benton oh ok thanks, I thought I read the heated seats were going to be turned off in the software so that's good to know :)

@@timkline162 Yea, I thought so too but according to this document, which is supposedly put out by Tesla, the front heated seats are included on the SR cars too. external-preview.redd.it/trWv98E0u6sXD17c1MLaouXrxPlbwsxDTDVcAF6IBWk.jpg?auto=webp&s=59273a3367648c2151ee98394abbd3e95c0082d3

SAMMY B no, the sound is not as good as the premium audio but it is still VERY good.

Ken Ijichi no, it did not come with AP. I can buy AP for $3k at any time (or so I was told). Still a great buy!

Chidi Dike yes, I went to the Brentwood Service Center to order it. You can also call them to order one.

The Ordinary Chad I sold my Performance Model for $59k.

The Tesla employee doesn't know what he's talking about (unfortunately, par for the course most of the time). All Standard Range cars have the same interior as the Standard Plus. It does have the power seats and the user memory function. They just software lock the battery and take away things like heated seats, streaming audio and traffic visualization on nav. Other than that, its exactly like a SR+ car. I don't think Tesla will ever offer the SR with cloth seats... but you never know.

Marc Benton thanks. Does the NAV on your SR still calculate best/fastest route based on traffic conditions, but just not show the red, green, yellow traffic lines on the map? I know the SR+ still does that because I confirmed it by plotting the same destination on the SR+ NAV and on google maps on my phone at the same time. They both plotted the same route to drive, its just that it showed traffic colors on my phone and not on the car’s NAV. Can you confirm if your SR’s NAV does that too?

D Turtle no, I do not believe it changes the Nav based on traffic.

No, no word on what the cost would be to move to the SR+ after delivery. It was $4500 to move up before. My guess is they will offer discounts to move up eventually. In your case, I would just get the SR without AP since you aren't driving all that much. I will charge my SR to 100% and get 220 miles, thats PLENTY for most people.

That is the Nashville Tesla Service Center.

I didn't trade my Performance Model, I sold it privately. If you can sell it privately, you will always be better off. Not everyone can do that though so with a trade, you are going to take a HUGE hit. Tesla offered me $38k for my P3D, I laughed at them and sold it for $59k the next day (which is what its worth to me and apparently to the new owner). But overall, you will always lose a ton of money trying to trade a fairly new car in.

Don't trade in your dual motor, sell it privately. You will lose a lot of money on a trade in.

Tinder Gold no, it does not. I ended up buying Standard AP a few weeks ago for $3k.

H x3 it does not have the homelink, so I’ll problem spend $300 to get that. It does have all the driver seat profile stuff and the seats are fully adjustable like any other Model 3. I’m telling ya, the car is a steal at the price point (if you don’t need to range). This car is gonna destroy the Bolt if there were able to keep making it. Sadly I don’t think they will.

Yes, it does have sentry mode and dashcam!

Anna G from the P3D? Absolutely! The P3D is.a MONSTER! But it feels very similar to my first LR RWD Model 3.

Marc Benton I see, planning on changing from awd to standard plus so was just curious :)

@@unfinished_sentenc000 You may notice a slight difference but its nothing crazy.

Awesome! Is it a big difference sound wise?

Anna G I think that is going to be a bit subjective but yes, i can hear the difference but is it a HUGE difference? Not to me.

Jackson Gil I bought an SR but got an SR+, then I bought AP and they have never lowered it back to an SR.

Yes, you can claim the tax credit on any EV you buy. Monthly payment is a relative thing. It depends on interest rate, down payment and so forth. So the better comparison is that I paid $40K out the door for the Standard Range Model 3 and the Performance Model 3 was about $76k (its a little less now though and that doesn't include the mods that I did). The Standard Range is almost half of what the Performance Model cost.

Yea, the P3D is a MONSTER.. but even the Standard Range Model 3 is no slouch.

I have a P3D, it's an exercise in excess. Absolutely unnessary speed.

Shankhadeep Shome Exactly...but a lot of fun

The white ones is my favorite also. But I’m debating between the white or the black paint to save cost. What made you decide to go with white?

@@dturtle7893 If you're asking me, I never thought of buying a white car until I saw this one in person, then I bought the white.

Thanks! Yep, all those settings and programming is still there!

Marc Benton Fantastic!

TESLAMR I posted it and sold it off twitter. One place to sell is www.onlyusedtesla.com Adam is super nice and they seem to have a lot of traffic.

Marc Benton, the website is onlyusedtesla, not onlyusedteslas, which redirects to some hosting service. I’m also wondering exactly what the math is for this transaction, because it would seem depreciation would have eaten up most of the financial gain of down grading. Of course you were able to deduct $7500 of that depreciation from last year’s taxes, but that car had to cost more than $7500 more than the amount you sold it for, after including delivery, sales tax, etc. How much did the insurance decrease when you told your insurance you downgraded from a $60k car to a $37k car? Or was the insurance on the P3D “pleasure use only”, or some special category used to get affordable rates? I have done essentially the same thing as you, selling my 6 month old 1989 Mustang GT convertible to get out from under the car payment, but I bought a used car with cash after that, not another new mustang with a 4 cylinder. In fact I bought a new 1988 5.0 lx for $13,500 and traded in fir the $18,500 GT a year later, back when money grew on trees. Lol I honestly think there are a lot of people who are waking up 3-6 months later regretting spending so much on a car. I absolutely loved my GT convertible, except for the payment and insurance. As more people get the letter from the insurance company saying the P3D insurance rates are going up, they also may realize 3.2 seconds is much quicker than they need to go, if they need to be insured.

@@imho7250 My bad, I can't tell you how many times I have typed that website wrong. Lol The numbers for me are very mixed because of the amount I paid for the car, how much I've paid it down and how much I've put into it (via mods). So my case is certainly not the norm. The bottom line is that my new SR cost half of what the P3D did and I am able to pay it off very quickly, which I could not have done with the P3D. Also, I have a call into my insurance agent so I don't have that info but I can tell you this. My insurance did not go UP when I sold my LR RWD Model 3 and went to the Performance. So, I have a feeling it won't go down either. AAA seems to look at all Model 3's the same... no matter the model.

Marc Benton, the model 3 is pretty new so insurance companies might still be learning. But certainly with a $35k 5.6 sec version and a $70k 3.2 second version, they cost different amounts to insure. I’m seeing reports that when the insurance company does figure it out, the rates go up substantially.

IMHO that wouldn’t surprise me at all.

I must have lucked up. We took delivery of our SR+ on 5/4 and it had the 14-50 adapter. Did you still get the public charging J1772 adapter?

@@fatwajim still waiting on a match?

@@fatwajim also, the website within the charging page still says it comes with all new Tesla's...

I got mines on 05/14 with no NEMA. I had to order mines online.

Don Rhodes I didn’t trade it in, I sold it privately.

Can you shed light on resale value? Thinking about buying one for the summer.

Don Rhodes maybe a little but my P3D was somewhat custom so it’s hard to compare to a stock one. I sold my P3D for $59k. 👍

Steve Boedeker yes, you can precook the cabin. 👍 you can connect to the car, just like every other Model.

Marc Benton - Oh that’s awesome to hear. Thanks so much for the quick reply! Hey, is the auto pilot working? I have read a couple of blogs that say auto pilot is coming as standard on the SR, like the Plus but maybe they just haven’t disabled it yet? What was your experience?

Steve Boedeker AP won’t be on the SR cars at $35k but it is standard on the SR+ cars. But you can buy AP for $3k on the SR cars.

cbj324jkl234jk234 who are these high profile people you are referring to?

HA! GO PREDS!

Sean Mitchell Thanks Sean!

Clark Kent that’s probably a video all on its own and one I’d rather not think about. Lol But seriously. I would have to sit down and figure out exactly how much I put into it and run the numbers.

Clark Kent Are you are looking for a PM3 just for track mode and the 0-60 increase to 3.2 ish? Is that the reason for wanting to upgrade?

I was looking to upgrade from LR Dual motor to performance. I got it in August for $62k, in March was offered as a trade in by Tesla for $40.6k with 13k miles (yes, I got a $7.5k in a rebate). Car do not hold value. Specially when price keep dropping on the current models. So still drive my LR now it is around 19k miles.

Clark Kent yep for anyone who bought in 2018 you are pretty much stuck with the car.... unless you want a $10k hit + and at that point why sell? Unless in a serious money bind The price drops killed resale, but I’m happy and keeping the AWD.

Thanks for sharing your frustrations with me. So I don't feel left out. I'm very happy with our car. We are back home visiting Hawaii and we rented a Model 3 Standard Plus on Turo for a week, and we definitely miss our car. Our car is much faster and better range. The map is not colored, only has two radio stations, internet connection is only 3G and weak connection, etc. It's definitely better than an ICE vehicle, but we can't wait to drive in our own car.

Sam G yep, that’s it! Great team they have there.

Alexander Medvedev I didn’t trade my performance, I sold it privately. So you will always be better off selling it privately. I sold it for $59k.

@@marc_benton What was the original purchase price (including taxes)?

Alexander Medvedev $65k, Plus $5k for EAP, which I bought after. Plus taxes and then minus any incentives.

@@marc_benton Looks like a good deal for the person who bought it. But you lost a lot of money. Plus did not get tax offset on the new car by not trading in. Ouch.

Alexander Medvedev it wasn’t an investment, that’s for sure

RichardFer01 lol yea, because spending $100 on floor mats is just a deal breaker for such a great car. 😆😬😂

Marc Benton just kidding, I'm a big fan of Tesla👍

SamR the headliner was $2200 at Unplugged Performance. I did not trade the P3D, I sold it to someone in Ohio. Well, that’s the plan anyway. They are supposed to pick up next week.

No, they are not limited. They are just like the heated seats in all the other Model 3's. Except it does not have rear heated seats.

Jrmjuve10 it was but they changed it. Now the SR is just a software locked SR+ so it includes the partial premium interior, it’s a fantastic buy!

@@marc_benton so it sounds like Tesla just decided to disable some features through software from the next tier model than to manufacture a different model with different seats, speakers etc? That seems like a better deal for the buyer.

Jason Granovsky even more interesting is that they work.... for now. There are several other things that are interesting and I’m waiting to see if they change.

Front seats are heated. Rear is not with the partial premium

jboatown it’s not bad at all. Not as good as the premium sound but decent for sure.

Marc Benton Thanks for the quick reply. I really wish Tesla would allow the consumer to pay for the upgraded sound system on the standard range.

jboatown I will bet they do eventually. 😬

I'm hoping to do a full review within a few weeks. I want to get some seat time in it before reviewing it.

Check out Alex's review: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iMFGmeAY_7M.html and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-89fJT87qhgg.html

Tesla Tips by MTN Ranger thank you! Yes I saw that review which was good. I ended up buying the standard Model 3 that it will be deliver this week or next week

The difference is You can always add AP with a call with a Tesla since software is always there. Only way a Civic will get AP for now is if you dream hard enough. Plus all the additional features in a Tesla aren't in a Civic (oh how I miss being hands on with Civics).

I didn't buy it because I can always add it later for $3k. Right now I don't need it. I could see buying it in the future though.

@@Patrick_Irving ^^^ what he said

@@marc_benton Did they offer you a $5k upgrade to FSD before you picked it up?

Richard Travis no, probably because I did not buy AP. But I could have bought AP for $3k and FSD for another $5k.

Andrey V It’s now been reported that Both the SR and SR + do have heated seats.

Michael Casino agree, both the SR and SE+ are great values for what you get.

Both look like performance and LR. No recognition from the exterior. All in all still the fastest car out there.

Nope, no AP.. I don't need it, at least right now. I was told I could get AP for $3k at any time. I was also told I would get a 30 day trial and that hasn't happen yet either so who knows. lol

Yep! They were great to deal with and I love have a Service Center so close to me. When we were in Cali, the closet one was 160 miles away.

@@marc_benton I know what you mean. I live in Knoxville 180 miles. Ranger came out and changed my 12 volt battery and charge port. Saved me 6 or 8 hours drive. Good luck. I bought a 2016 model s 90d. I love it. I have put 5000 miles on it.

@@wyrenutz Very cool! Congrats!

James Fuqua it’s fun, no doubt!

Is the battery life the same?

@@jorgealvarez1558 Hard question to answer but I would guess the life of the batter on a SR would be better than the Performance. I could be wrong but it only makes sense to me because with a Performance, you are pushing the motors more (hard accelerations). I guess in all, it really depends on driving habits. I believe either will last a LONG time though.

@@jorgealvarez1558 More batteries = more life VS standard range. I hope Elons statement of at least 80% in 300K-500K miles on battery pack as well as $7000 battery replacement. RWD long range I bet will get more life but half the fun!

Ted Kidd I have no doubt the seats have heat grids...both the fronts and back, with the tears disabled.

@@marc_benton future revenue opportunities baked into the car. So what is this a 50 KW battery car?

Ted Kidd yep! Pretty smart of them IMO. I’m not sure on the battery size.

To me, it sounds good. It's not as high quality, thats for sure because its missing the sub. But it still sounds very good. I don't think most will notice the difference unless you tell them. It lacks a little low end in certain areas but not a deal breaker to me. The premium audio is better but whether its worth it to upgrade is a different story.

Sorry to keep bugging you but, you got the standard sound or the upgraded sound system?

Jorge Amoranza well, as of now it has immersive sounds but I believe that will be eventually taken away via an update. The SR is not supposed to have that.

Marc Benton thanks a lot and congrats on your new car

Gregg Williams Lol White was my third choice. 😬 But still love it!

jpmackin I didn’t trade it in, I sold it privately.

Leonard Church yea but most Model 3’s don’t not have Alcantara, that’s why I didn’t mention it.

Where do you get info like that...what VINs had what features?

@@metoo3918 I have another video on my channel that compares Vin 89 to a newer 77*** Vin. Not much has changed visibly since so it's pretty accurate as of now. My new SR Model 3 is a Vin in the 310*** and nothing has changed that I can see from my Vin that was in the 77***. But a lot changed in those first ~100 to 14*** Vins.

Glad to help!
