More important perhaps is that it gives consumers more options. Yes, this new variant loses some features, but they don\u2019t appear to be outright dealbreakers. I can\u2019t see many people bemoaning the loss of the FM radio or ambient lighting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">For customers, I think what\u2019s most appealing is that this enables them to get a Model 3 with a lower monthly cash outlay.
