Hi Folks: Seems the spreadsheet is a bit behind wrt VINs Tesla has registered with NHTSA? Model 3 VINs (@Model3VINs) | Twitter

I think there will be a slight delay (slight for Tesla... about 1 year?) between the 3 and the Y. Any thoughts on how these will fair with the competition that is planned to come out just ahead of these? (200 mi range Bolt and Leaf for about $30K each)

11.274 sec... Nice. Was there ever a consensus as to how many tenths a Pano roof costs on the 1/4 mile? I think I heard something like 2? if so we're getting so close to the tens.

Well that's just great... cue the skeptics talking about emissions just being moved upstream :wink::biggrin:

I think you're supposed to end that with "Thanks folks, I'm here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress!"

Worth noting, if the car shown in the Dragtimes article is the car driven, it has the Panoramic Roof, which hits the 1/4 mile time pretty hard on it's own.

In my opinion, losing the "grille" has made the X lose it's face. I liked the pre-production units better. I wasn't likely to ever buy one, but I think I'd only consider black (since it looks more or less like the black pre-production units) The way it is set up now reminds me of a squirrel or...

EV is tough to use as a launch vehicle though... :wink:

Guess he didn't use the red key :smile:

Consider installing 3 phase. It is probably going to be the source of choice for your next electric car (after the Model S). It may be cost prohibitive, but worth looking into. In the meantime, up two three bays can be on a different phase.

I could have sworn I saw a rearview shot of VFX's roadster somewhere... But I couldn't find it.

I like the sound of that. Feels like the title line for a magazine ad for Tesla

By definition of battery ("battery" of cells) it is exactly correct (while calling 1.5V cells batteries is incorrect) (more directly to the topic) I had caught a whiff that this was happening on a Toyota press release somewhere a few days ago...

I think that's a lot better than electrolysis of water... I remember something about 25%...
