Die absoluut of kost wat kost een 35k model 3 basisrange (220 miles) wilden hebben, krijgen hem nu echt.
Het heeft wat geduurd met de basisrange-software.
Maar die is er nu. ~ 10 dagen begint de downgrading.
Voor die het niet begrijpen:
Mensen die een SR bestelden kregen een betere SR-plus voor hetzelfde geld als een SR. Alles gaat via software. Het gratis genot van een SR+ voor het geld van een SR heeft dus niet te lang geduurd.
Nu dat de basissoftware klaar is wordt hun bestelde SR fysiek echt een SR. Via een downgrade naar SR.
Of ze kunnen natuurlijk 4k storten dan houden ze hun SR+ en de software SR+. Seintje en betaling is voldoende.

Some Tesla owners who bought the standard Range version of the Model 3 for $35,000 have been getting away with the features of Tesla’s more expensive Standard Range Plus Model 3, but the automaker now says that it will start downgrading the software of those vehicles within the next 10 days.
Earlier this year, Tesla launched its base Model 3 for $35,000 – something that the company had been promising for years.
But things got increasingly complicated after the launch as Tesla removed the configuration from its website and made it more difficult to order the vehicle just a month later.
Furthermore, the vehicle was only sold as a software-locked version of the ‘Standard Range Plus’ (SR+) Model 3.
Tesla explained:
“Its range will be limited by 10%, and several features will be disabled via software (including our onboard music streaming service, navigation with live traffic visualization, and heated seats).
When it comes to the actual hardware, the two versions of the vehicle, which now start at $35,400 and $39,900, are identical.
The automaker started to deliver Model 3’s to people who bought the Standard Range last month, but we checked with a few owners and they all report still having access to all the same features as the ‘Standard Range Plus’ to this day.
Last week, we reported on Tesla starting to deliver the ‘Standard Range’ Model 3 with software-locked features.
It meant that Tesla finally wrote the software for the Standard Range and we expected that the automaker would soon start to downgrade the software of those who bought the ‘Standard Range’ but received a ‘Standard Range Plus’.
Sure enough, Tesla is now warning ‘Standard Range’ Model 3 owners that they will soon be downgraded.
The automaker sent the following email to owners:
“Your Model 3 will soon receive new software that matches the Model 3 Standard Range configuration you ordered. As we communicated in April, this includes a limited range of 220 miles, and the removal of several software features. To continue experiencing the extended range, faster acceleration and Autopilot features of Model Standard Range Plus, schedule a service appointment through your Tesla app.”
