That's the hope. The tax credit is almost enough to cover autopilot and the future self-driving updates. At the same time, by the time Tesla runs out of the tax credit, they might have enough Model 3 volume to reduce the cost of the car and the different options.
I think people who ordered in store will likely be able to purchase/take delivery of a base Model 3 in the first half of next year as long as Tesla reaches their 200,000 US sale next year.

Yup. Actually, most people thought the most expensive 3 would be more than $58k. The difference between base/fully loaded is roughly the same spread Tesla had when the Model S and Model X were launched.

The difference between a base/fully loaded 3 as a function of it's starting price is actually less then the difference between a base/fully loaded Model S at the moment.
