I own a TM3, Long Range, Premium Interior, Enhanced auto pilot. The best part of this announcement for LR owners is that the range will be bumped to 325 miles for new and existing cars!
that out of the way, well it is about time. it is nice to see, I still don't agree with how they present the cost on their website but I am at the point that I think it will take regulations to fix that. Telsa seems immune to criticism on that front. I am in the camp of, truth in advertising.
Now, the value of the premium interior took a sizable hit. the remaining advantages are heated rear seats, more speakers for the stereo, satellite maps with live traffic, streaming media, and the internet browser.
so my question is, did I pay for life of the car satellite traffic and streaming? there have been hints that this was not the case. the rear heated seats and extra speakers certainly don't make up $2500 in value but if there is lifetime satellite maps with traffic that would be a selling point.
on a side note, the other area besides advertising pricing that Tesla needs to be called out on is providing parts to repair existing cars. The nightmare still exists for many owners with some being without their car for over six months.
