The Model 3 Standard Plus, for example, used to cost $37,500 in addition to $3,000 for Autopilot, and it currently begins at $39,500.
To make that simpler to stomach, Tesla has additionally presented leasing. US clients can browse 10,000, 12,000 and 15,000-mile yearly use choices, contingent upon their financial plans and driving.

That implies if clients alter their opinions, they can move up to a $39,500 Standard Plus model whenever by paying the distinction and getting an over-the-air programming update.
Given the popularity of the Standard Plus relative to the Standard, we have made the decision to simplify our production operations to better optimize cost, minimize complexity and streamline operations. As a result, Model 3 Standard will now be a software-limited version of the Standard Plus, and we are taking it off the online ordering menu, which just means that to get it, customers will need to call us or visit any one of the several hundred Tesla stores.
