Uncharted territory, and we're talking about an addition that costs (at the moment) roughly $10,000 extra. Making up the difference plus the fraction of the car that's "unwise" would be a tall order potentially, given we have zero details as to the how & when from Tesla, and the as yet...

Well, bit of a necro-post, but I went ahead and canceled my reservation. Not for lack of desire to buy the car, but because a brand new car in the $35,000 range was a stretch for my wife and I, and being fiscally irresponsible for a car isn't worth it to us. (Reserved @ 10pm PST for the obvious...

I read a somewhat more accessible link about this on Phys.org. I'm wondering how well it will scale and how easily the catalyst can be produced. If it does scale well, and it really is as efficient as they say, this looks at first blush like a decent option for terrestrial carbon capture.

So I would LOVE to get some options on the 3. But my bank account takes precedence, and if I can't afford it (which is a distinct possibility) then I'm going to get the base model. It's not that I don't want the options, it's that Teslas for a lot of folks are "stretch cars" even in their base...

Look, I only clicked it 7 times before I figured it out.... alright? Stop laughing at me... ya jerk.

Okay a few things guys... A: I'm not a moderator but calling people douches is just out of line. So Shark was able to pay cash for a car - we don't know his circumstances so calling him an ass for having money is totally out of line. And that's coming from a guy who's in debt and has a LOT of...

Yeah, if you think about putting 100 people in that space, and look at the external dimensions of the vehicle itself - as well as how much space the fuel tanks take up.... it seems quite crowded to me. Even if 1/2 of them are sleeping at any given time. Like ccutrer said - cavernous compared to...

My wife would like me to ask where one goes about purchasing one of those. She seems to think I need one...

I was totally thinking the same thing, right up until the QA, when I realized it was probably the right choice. ;) I agree, and further I'd say he may want other people to help actively pursue the policy changes that will need to happen before we send ANYONE to mars, or bring anything back...

Bonus points for the Crater Lake license plate T.Edi. I proposed to my wife there, that's one hell of a view!

Do you happen to know if it's still considered high (margin wise) once you factor in dealer margins? I always assumed Tesla had higher margins, but I'd never done the research/google-fu to decipher if it was high overall, or just high for an automaker.

I'm guessing 3rd or 4th Q 2017 reveal and late 2018/early 2019 shipments. My reasoning is twofold. First: It gives them maximum time to complete the Model ≡ ramp and allows them to focus on that and Tesla Energy products. Second: It likely cannibalizes some of the Model 3 sales which allows...

I agree with the wrap mods and/or making sure you see some matte cars BEFORE taking the plunge. I've seen a number of them around Portland lately on a variety of ICE cars. I've never actually seen one that looked good. They always have a ton of smudges, swirls, fingerprints, and imperfections...

That whole long post was worth it for that one line. ;) Shoot me a PM with your email if you want a list of great places to eat/hang. Also let me know where yu're staying so I can tailor the recommendations to your quadrant of the city. We live in NE, so most of my first hand recommendations...

And you post QC, yup. You're meant to be here... I promise we won't turn you into Chum. Unless we run out of bait. What are you coming out here for Jeff?
