You can't walk off the lot with any Tesla, so Tesla has much less influence on what percentage of its cars are the base model than other brands. You order online so there's no salesman standing over you talking you into unneeded upgrades.

For high-demand products Tesla will offer a better expected delivery date for more expensive vehicles, but Tesla's supply and demand are in balance now and you can get base model deliveries within a couple of weeks.

There are no unneeded upgrades to be had (aside I guess autopilot?).

The experience of buying a Tesla was wonderful. We just couldn't believe how great everything was. Zero pressure. Clear pricing. Simple website. They even registered the car.
