Just curious how many of you put down a $1,000 reservation deposit for a Tesla Model 3. In full disclosure, I did. I figure it's refundable, and if I get tired of waiting, or decide to get something else in the meantime, I can back out.
The first announcement of ANY features was at the reveal (after ~115K reservations). Anything else was pure speculation. We still don't know very many details about the car, so how good or fully featured the base model is remains to be seen.I put a deposit down but from what I've been reading, the price point of 35K revealed at the model 3 intro will be for a totally basic model. So, it may be closer to $40-45K with options that would be desirable such as autopilot, supercharging, etc. I think Tesla is a phenomenal automobile but am disappointed that they changed some of the features of the model 3 that were initially listed as standard.
My reservation is around 123K. Interesting you say supercharging IS included. I never mentioned autopilot specifically to be "standard."The first announcement of ANY features was at the reveal (after ~115K reservations). Anything else was pure speculation.

Supercharging IS included on all Model 3's.
Autopilot is an option ($2,500) even on the much more expensive S/X's, so not sure why you thought it would be standard on the 3.![]()
Mmmmm, reviewed the release video:My reservation is around 123K. Interesting you say supercharging IS included. I never mentioned autopilot specifically to be "standard."
Here's a link to my source which I believe to be a little more accurate:

If you're including the $7500 Federal Incentive, it is a Tax Credit, not a rebate. Note that some people may not have enough tax liability to take advantage of the entire credit (and it doesn't carry over).When I do put a deposit down and purchase the Bolt EV, I could get around 10k in rebates if the Nissan Leaf is any indicator. I could look at the Volt instead since it's from GM but it's a hybrid and not full EV.
