Tesla just made some HUGE changes on their offerings. The refresh Model 3 has been quite popular since its release earlier this year. It didn't come without some challenges though.

After being reintroduced as the redesigned Model 3 at the beginning of the year, the Model 3 had only 1 trim that was tax credit eligible, and that was the Performance variant. For the first half of the year, this was the case, until recently when the LR AWD Model 3 became tax credit eligible. This left the RWD Model 3 as the only one that wasn't, and actually made it more expensive to purchase than the LR AWD.

Tesla later added a Model 3 LR RWD to the mix, which shared the same battery as the AWD and was therefore tax credit eligible. So for this whole year now, the standard RWD Model 3 has not been eligible for the tax credit, except through leasing.

With likely hard pressure on the RWD Model 3 demand coming from the LR RWD, coupled with the new expanded tariffs on China battery tech, the RWD Model 3 likely became too expensive to offer at an affordable price, which was already $4k more expensive to purchase after the tax credit.

Tesla has now removed the RWD Model 3 and is only offering the Long Range RWD, LR AWD and Performance Model 3 trims. All 3 trims are tax credit eligible, and in combination with all 3 Model Y trims, now both the Model 3 and Model Y are fully tax credit eligible.

Affordability comes in other forms than just price though. The interest rate deals Tesla was offering last quarter were as low as 1.99% for 60 months on the Model 3 and 1.99% for 72 months on the Model Y. This month, those same terms come in at 5.29%, yielding about $50 more per month on each model.

Also with the removal of the RWD Model 3, the $299/mo lease deal is no longer here as it was for the entry level Model 3 only. Now, at $90/mo more, the Model 3 LR RWD is your cheapest lease option and is $389/mo.

On the bright side, we still have the $1,000 referral offer available and the $1,000 military offer in place. Both of these, when combined with the tax credit, give a buyer almost $10k off the purchase of any new Model 3 or Model Y, assuming you qualify for the tax credit.

Makes sense to get rid of the ineligible M3.

RoboTaxi imminent?
No

On 10/10 elon will put on his carnival barker hat and parade around a model of the Robotaxi
my guess is that it will be made by 2 interns in 2 weeks and be:
1) Made of stainless steel leftover parts from crash testing the Cybertruck
2) no steering wheel or pedals
3) front seats mounted to sit backward
4) 2 doors - each opening in the middle of the truck/taxi gullwing style
5) ASS will drive it around the state for the demo
6) The Tesla robot will be seated in the taxi and wave - but it can't get in or out - just for show

and for 5 years nothing more will happen to the RoboTaxi
since FSD will never reach SAE Level-5 certification to pilot it.

30k for a 22 m3p 1 owner 35k mi or drop another 12k (after fed incentive/referral/Oregon rebate) on a 24 long range awd. Blue ext/white int on each. 5.99% int on used vs 5.49% for new. Hmm.

Going to state the obvious, the RoboTaxi is a fools errand for places outside of Metro areas, okay maybe it is just me… I would not be using a RoboTaxi on any regular basis, also don’t like to share a CAR. It costs too much and I am not RICH to consider it a commodity versus a personal item. (Yup, don’t want others in my car). Used to work at a Rental Car Company and people just abuse things that are not theirs.

Could it have something to do with new import tarriffs? If so, the "cheap" Model 3 could cost almost as much as the performance. Typical Tesla practice with regard to expiring incentives. Lets see what the NEW incentive will be in a few weeks. I wll bet Justin's Cybertruck that a new deal will be offered for end of Q4.

What happened to your Arctic Cybertrek video ???

Regarding these M3 RWD changes, seems obvious that the LFP model would become the base of the new Robotaxi … I suspect Tesla will still offer owner/operators an option to purchase or finance as it will help cash flow.

Meanwhile starting the range with M3 LR RWD helps cash flow.

For anyone moaning that rates went up, I’m paying £580/month for a SR+ Model 3 , but I suspect my PCP balloon payment will be lower than with current deals . I do remember Musk saying ‘we actually want the car back’…

The Model 3 Standard Range is probably discontinued due to the tariffs on Chinese made batteries and vehicles more than the robotaxi.

It's simple, the demand shifted to LR RWD

Port strikes (for that battery) could likely be a factor
