So they are accelerating release of small car, not cancelling it.

It will be based on mix of new and old architectures.

Previous goal was h2/2025.

It will be built alongside other models, they have 3m of capacity.

Other new models to be released in 2025, i huess YSX?

Tesla (TSLA) stock jumped in after-hours trading on Tuesday after the company said it would accelerate the launch of more affordable vehicles, countering reports earlier this month the company would scrap these plans.

"We have updated our future vehicle line-up to accelerate the launch of new models ahead of our previously communicated start of production in the second half of 2025," Tesla
said in its first quarter shareholder release

This is the exact news I wanted to hear.

Not sure if this is a typo or not, but it appears the M3P in Canada is neutered

Well 0-100 km/h is 0-62 mph so that time is going to be a little slower than the 2.9 0-60 (and maybe in Canada they don't deduct rollout), but yes those horsepower numbers are very different.

This is exactly what I would pay, no ADM, no hidden fees, dealer added options or upsales. Tell me a dealership who would give you this information upfront through email before you even arrive at the dealership. Next step would be to put down a $250 deposit
For sure Tesla’s buying is simple and straightforward but it’s fairly common to get numbers ironed out before going in.

I have gotten straight forward numbers from dealerships, only to have them yanked out from under me when I show up because the VIN they pulled the numbers from was "sold" and suddenly I have to start from scratch because the new vehicle has installed options that were not on the previous vehicle. Can't tell you how many times that has happened. With Tesla, there is no VIN until it's actually built unless you pick something from inventory.

Not saying you're wrong, but my recent experiences, especially after COVID has been pretty shaky, and the dealership model as it exists rewards pure greed

considering performance is the same as US version, 460 is probably from previous M3P.

I assume this is now closer to my MS LR in overall performance, while my M3P is fast until some 90 mph, it would slow down afterwards, where MS LR with similar 0-60 rating would simply keep going to well over 130 MPH at very rapid speed.

Looks really good overall, refined sleeper and price is simply amazing.
