    What is best financing rate now?

    Lightstream is the only option for unsecured. Their 3.69% rate is high, but no one here is paying that. You only use the Lightstream unsecured loan with their rate beat program.

    What is best financing rate now?

    I just got 2.39 for 60 months unsecured with lightstream on a rate beat to tower fcu in Maryland. $35 donation to the tower charity for membership.

    I got an email today that white seats are available on all AWD/LR configurations now.

    AWD/Performance Re-Invites 5/31

    I'm a first-day reservation holder in California, been waiting for an interior color other than black. I just received a re-invitation to configure with AWD and Performance options available. Unfortunately for me, while white interiors are also available, it's only as a performance-exclusive...

    White Seats Tracking

    It looks like white seats are available for performance orders only right now. Can someone with access to the updated configurator confirm that?

    Fiat 500e EV

    Yeah, I would even go to the point of taking pictures of the car in their driveway to prove you dropped it off. I had similar problems with my Spark EV. Pictures are also good in case they claim damage on the car that wasn't there when you left it. I had a lease return report a pre-check with...

    White Seats Tracking

    No, it could be months before they're ready. I'm not going to check every day for months. My hope is that when someone notices they are ready, and comes here to post about it, they'll use this thread to do so, rather than starting a new one, and thus everyone who is interested (and subscribed...

    White Seats Tracking

    I've been invited to configure, but we are delaying until white/light colored seats are available for Model 3. If you notice that they show up on the configurator, please post here, for those of us who are deferring for this option.

    Speculation: Time to Delivery for Model 3 will be short, once deliveries begin

    True, but I think the argument still stands if they've only produced 440. It's still enough to accurately project color choices.

    Speculation: Time to Delivery for Model 3 will be short, once deliveries begin

    My delivery estimator still says Nov 17-Jan 18, which seems fast, given that they haven't even opened the design studio yet. How can they make this work? My guess is that once they open the design studio, initial delivery dates will be not much more than a week. First Production Model 3...

    GOP tax reform bill would end the $7500 EV tax credit (and other tax related grousing and grumbling)

    I think it's good for Tesla. They've always been operating under the assumption that it would be exhausted within some months of the release of the 3. It's the other car companies that were relying on it.

    Congress Might Rescind EV Tax Credit

    Yep, it's in the bill text as released this morning for vehicles purchased after December 31st: " (d) REPEAL OF SECTION 30D.— (1) IN GENERAL.—Subpart B of part IV of subchapter A of chapter 1 is amended by striking section 30D (and by striking the item relating to such section in the table of...

    No AM Radio on 3 (Like the X)

    The Electrek.co spec sheet lists FM and Internet radio, but no AM radio. This has been the case on the X for a while, but I wonder how that will impact interest by the general public.

    Supercharger - Lone Pine, CA (LIVE 28 Jan 2015, multiple expansions, 16 V3 stalls)

    I was at Lone Pine yesterday, and saw no signs of expansion. The door on the wooden box around the charging equipment had a busted lock, and was held closed by way of a bungie cord, but that was the only thing out of the ordinary.
