With the recent addition for Anders Bell, VP of interior design from Volvo, I would expect the interior of the Model 3 is more appealing than what is shown on the spy shots. Regardless of the base vehicle cost, this would be a show stopper for me. I stood in line on 3/31 morning at Santana Row...

You're right - less than a week. I got mine on 9/24 for the 9/29 reveal. I live in the Bay Area so it was easy to arrange time. I even got to test drive the newly released P90DL that same day. BTW, the party was a blast - plenty of food, good music, exciting people young and old, ... For the...

I learned to drive in a Gen 3 Chevy Nova ('73 or '74), and purchased a used 1979 Buick Skylark as my first car. We've come a long way from those cars.

The one from Porsche has the car shape with cool LED headlights.

I thought so. Got one from Porsche last year.

Since we are on the subject of tax rebates, I would like to know if there is any limit on the maximum amount of credits assuming the vehicles are still eligible (I have pre-orders for 2, and did it at the store in San Jose on 3/31). Thanks for sharing the information - I checked IRS website but...
