The long range battery ($9k) and premium interior ($5k) are mandatory. They are literally not options.

- greglindahl 8y ago... and as I mentioned in another comment, that's because they're shipping expensive cars for as long as they can. That's how S and X worked, too. It's not rocket science. If you don't want to pay extra, you can get a car in "Late 2018", according to the configuration gizmo.
- carlivar 8y agoWell it was Jan-Mar 2018, then Early 2018, and now Late 2018 for the standard battery. I was a day 1 reservation holder and watched the date keep slipping. I have little faith Late 2018 will be met at this point so I cancelled my reservation. I'll just let everything sort out and buy an EV in 3 years when there are plenty of no-drama options.
- greglindahl 8y agoIf you want the low-end Model 3 today, buy a Bolt. Done.
- carlivar 8y agoI'm very tempted but I don't like how it looks. The I-pace looks great. Something between I-pace and Bolt would be fine. I expect VW to probably have plenty to offer, for example, in a few years.
- justin66 8y agoIf I had to buy an electric commuter car today I'd get a BMW i3. It's ugly as sin but they are practically giving them away used, and it's utterly fascinating.
