I was pretty excited about the model 3 when it first came out, but after all of the upsell stuff, the car doubles in price.

When you add in wheels, paint, extra motors, and software unlocks, a model 3 becomes a pretty interesting car. There is enough there to over look the build quality, lack luster interior, and lack of CarPlay / Android Auto. But all that stuff can put you at $60k +.

IMHO, without the upsells, the only compelling feature is the charging network.
