    For 430000 Euro it ought to be good! Know what I mean? ;)

    Questions regarding reliability

    We've had our Model 3 since August of 2018. Not one issue in that time at nearly 20K miles. The difference between our 2013 Model S and the 3 was night and day, as the S had all sorts of early car troubles. (Still totally worth buying even then and we have well over 100K miles on it now.)

    White interior

    Our 3 has the white interior. It is a man made material and it is actually very low maintenance. You don't want to use leather cleaners or similar things on it, it can mess up the material I understand. I've only ever needed to use water and a soft cloth for any cleaning. It stays soft and is...

    OK, even if they don't have an electric car they can at least stop idling!

    Good for her! My daughter's school has this policy, and they remind parents of it fairly frequently, and still many people sit there idling. At least the Tesla ratio is rising (our Model S was the first Tesla at the school in 2013, now there are MANY S, X and 3's.

    Is the M3P Really 1" Lower than the M3?

    Keep in mind one of the reasons for the scraping is the large overhangs on the front/rear for the S. Our S (with Air) has to be in high position not to scrape on our driveway. Our 3 gets in and out fine, mostly due to the fact that the front doesn't stick so far out from the wheels as on the S...

    Highest production VIN in the wild

    Took delivery of VIN 993xx today at Fremont. It is a Midnight Silver Metallic AWD (non-P) with White interior. There were about 30 3's sitting in the parking lot of the delivery center along with a smattering of S's. Ours was the only 3 with white interior there. Car looked and drove fabulously...

    AWD delivery thread

    I have a Fremont delivery scheduled for AWD MSM/White Interior on Wednesday. Could have had it last Monday, but could not get the money together on short notice. Am a current owner (since 2013), reserved first day online, did not wait in line. VIN in 99000 range.

    2013 RWD S 85, Premium White w/ Extended Warranty til 2021 and Free Supercharging for life $39,000

    The extended warranty at that time was for four years and an additional 50K miles over and above the standard warranty, for a total of 8 years or 100K miles. With your miles I think that the extended warranty has now expired. You may wish to check on this to be sure of the status for potential...

    Extension cord from dryer outlet?

    Multiple electricians and Tesla tell you not to do something potentially hazardous and you are planning to do it anyway? You might want to reconsider. I suggest speaking to your landlord about the situation. Ask him if he is willing to install a charging station in the garage. If not, ask him...

    Autopilot Still in Beta? Edmund's Review

    You must not do much or any gaming these days, because this is no longer true. With "Early Access", crowd funding, etc. nowadays you pay for the privilege to beta test a game (often more than the game will cost at release!) I don't know of any company that pays people to beta test their games...

    Model 3 set to dominate it's category as early as next month

    Why yes, yes there are. The Tesla Model 3! :D But seriously, this isn't a segment Detroit has had much of a presence in for a good long time. They'd rather sell trucks. Still, there is the Cadillac ATS and the Lincoln MKZ.

    Which Maintenance Plan and Extended Service Agreement Did You Get? Anyone Run the Numbers?

    We purchased the 4 year/50K extended warranty as well as 4 year service as soon as they were both made available for our early 2013 Model S. We saved a fair bit on the maintenance (they raised prices later) and have come out ahead (already) on the warranty. We had the screen/MCU replaced...
