    What kind of options/upgrades are you considering and why?

    Longest range battery available at time of configuration and dual motor is a must. As far as autopilot and full autonomous driving I might wait and see the pricing and it's true capabilities at time of configuration. I may upgrade this later in time once it is fully compatible of driving...

    Videos of Autonomous Driving capability of NVIDIA's Drive PX2

    I stumbled on couple recent videos where NVIDIA demo's Drive PX2 self driving capabilities. The software used in the videos may not be what Tesla end up using but the presenter mentioned about the DriveWorks SDK for autonomous driving from NVIDIA which Tesla may or not leverage in their own...

    I would start paying for my M3 today

    If tesla offers incentives for people to start paying for the car now then I would see a chance of people willing to start paying now. For example, free upgrades or a discount of x dollars of final price of the car. If not, I think much of the target audience of the model 3 would rather make...

    Buy Model S until M3 arrives. Am I crazy?

    Keep in mind the money you spend now on other cars could be used for the model 3. So really depends on your budget and if you could take the depreciation hit. If you are really set on a model s, there are cpos that might loose less value.

    Poll: Would you buy an early production Model 3?

    I would take one! If I take an earlier production with more options means I get tax credit which is a big chunk of cash for paying those options. I will get the car earlier and start my country road trip earlier. Its like a win win win, and YOLO.

    Interior noise level question

    If the model 3 will be delivered as a sedan (not open trunk lift back like the s), then it may have a slight advantage on noise level from things rattling in the trunk. But as others have said the model 3 is on a different platform, shape, uses different materials, half the cost, we'll only know...

    Who wants to join me in a "Model 3 Trade-Up Pact"?

    The ultimate goal is sustainable society. Buying a new tesla model 3 every year and selling the 'old' one isn't sustainable. Even though Tesla would be happy that people would buy a new car every year it isn't aligned with their mission really, they mentioned cars can join a sharing fleet to...

    Model 3 Photo Gallery (Unofficial)

    Looking back at these photos of the model 3. I actually prefer the front as is, simple and beautiful. No need of a fake grill or fake stash etc. No need to make it look like the S or X. It is beautiful in its own ways.

    Post Warranty Ownership, Repair Parts, Parts Costs, DIY?

    Someone already figure out how to load gentoo Linux on their model s, I suspect not long until we see mods on the Model 3. I sure hope model 3 can play video on the center screen console as you see in below video it is pretty awesome.

    Cloth seats?

    I am curious on how others think of microfiber cloth for the seats? My wife has light gray microfiber cloth seats in her honda crv from 5 years ago and it is hold up well. It looks clean where as my nissan leafs black cloth seats shows the dirt and crumbs more vividly and looks more dirty. I...

    What will Battery upgrades cost on Model 3?

    My vote is that it would be under 5k for battery upgrade . I am surprised more votes higher than that. Don't let tesla see that we are will dish out extra cash and make this more costly. Don't keep a model s mind set here, message to myself too. If tesla has a target of 150$ (I remember some...

    Possible hidden costs

    I am hoping lte connection be part of the car. I think with tesla uncertain about whether superchargers are free or not, but they may do the same with this. Tethering from a cellphone has its issues because not everyone has phones that can tether ie flip phones or older locked down smartphone...

    Anybody saw the LeEco car from a Chinese company? Thoughts?

    There was no mentioning of price or availability in the video, the announcer basically said words like "the future of cars, future of car living, future of transportation... and explained that using a cellphone you can verbally tell the car to park itself" hint hint autonomous cars If there is...

    Heads-Up-Display (HUD): More proof

    Seems like everyone is quite sure that a HUD will be offered on the Model 3. I wouldn't mind it but I would not set up hopes or desires on it in the case that a dash screen like a Prius is offered instead and feel sad about it.

    No sound, no soul?

    I hate the sound of loud cars it is absolutely unnecessary and I associated them to pollution. I drive a leaf now and when I drive up steep hills I am not bombarded with engine sounds like it is going to die on me or it yelling at me how hard it is trying to go up a hill. EVs just goes up the...
