That could very well be dangerous. There is no guarantee. With the volatility of Tesla as well as their finances, it would take just one really bad piece of news to destroy the stock price. That would literally be gambling. I am in it for the long run and even then have only put in a small...

That is what I am thinking. The 3 will no nowhere near the complexity of the S and X, but then again it will be the first truly mass produced Tesla. I may just sit back and wait it out for just a little while as well since my current car is going strong. It also comes down to cost which is why I...

What about outside reports from various publications that indicate much higher than average rate of problems? You have to understand that can be a concern. If I am out in a very rural setting, trying to get a car to the dealer repeatedly may be very difficult.

That is it. The more I think of it, the more I am considering cancelling. However there is not enough information yet to make a decision as you state. Tesla has until November or December to wow me as that is when I may place an order for a regular car. Judging from problems people are having...

My response is damn dude, please focus on trying to get something done before you develop grandiose delusions. The Model 3 will make or break Tesla and a screw up will likely ruin them.

Not just that gas is cheaper, but I think people are starting to see trucks as a good value for certain leisure activities. They are very utilitarian and when properly equipped, they really pack a lot of luxury. A $70k F150 might seem outrageous until you realize just how much stuff you can get...

Please opt for leather seating if it comes with cloth standard.

Probably because the new Prius is so damn ugly. Just when you could not think a car could look even more outrageous, Toyota out does themselves to cater to the small crowd who wants everyone to know how environmentally conscious they are. Model 3 owners will be people who are mostly...

I believe that the BMW i3 is no competitor to the Volt. The i3 with the 2 cylinder is pretty much impractical if some of the reviews are correct about being able to travel up grades and at rural highway speeds once the battery is depleted. Such a small generator can only do so much. I like the...

Your post sums up exactly how I feel on this topic and is why the Bolt is my premiere Plan B option right now should I cancel my Model 3 reservation. The reality is that they are not competing anywhere near each other. The Tesla is geared as a luxury car while the Bolt is geared towards being an...

I'm honestly tired of all these polls and won't be voting. However it will have to be pay per use for me. My current car will function as my long range driving car and therefore I will not be using a supercharging station enough to make it worthwhile if assuming that Tesla will charge $1000+ for...

Many manufacturers do the same thing. Ford has been using an oil life monitor for a long time now to determine the proper intervals. Vehicles theoretically can go 10-12k miles per oil change which is what most GM vehicles do. Much of that credit goes to advances in oil technology along with use...

I could never imagine having that much free time, but perhaps you could volunteer? Hospitals always need them and it can be rewarding. I volunteer one day a week in the local ER and it is very rewarding. I am sure you can get someone to send it to you for a price. Also I bet there are forum...

Probably because at this lower price point, it brings in a different group of folks from a whole new income bracket. We tend to be more sensitive to such potential costs down the road. YouTube is filled with videos that do not help us set aside our fears.

As someone in Ohio, I will be eagerly awaiting the reports from those on the west coast who will be the first to take delivery. Hopefully we see a theme before I have to commit the $2500 or do to place the actual order.
