Silver is my favorite paint color, but it also has shown the least amount of dirt of any color car. My wife had a white Audi A8, and white shows a lot of dirt. Now she has a metallic black Panamera....black shows dirt really badly. My silver vehicle can go for a while before it needs a bath, and...

If they brought back silver, I'd buy one immediately.

If the paint quality and fit and finish improves, I'll buy another TESLA. The paint excuse about California standards is an excuse. Germany has the same paint standards, and Porsche paint is fantastic. Other than those issues, the TESLA is an amazing vehicle. It's more practical than the 911...

I know you said you wanted new, but why not buy a used S? Later on, buy a Y.

Right now the resale on the Model 3 is exceptionally high. Thoughts on how that will hold up?

They would not allow me to return on day 8. They did say that the only time they make an exception is when the car has an issue that does not allow for seven consecutive days of driving. Your options are to keep it for a while like somebody else recommended. Give Tesla an opportunity to fix the...

I almost returned mine in the seven day window. It was a "demo," but I think somebody else returned it, because it had an Atlanta address in saved as "home" in the nav system. I was going to return it, because I wasn't 100% sure I wanted the car or like the color. If there wasn't the rule of...

Auto plants in the EU have been using water based paints since the 90's. I am not sure about any other differences in regs, but that can easily be Googled. The EU has taken serious measures regarding climate change, so I would not be surprised if their regs were as stringent as California. Those...

I sold my 2020 Model 3, because I was very unhappy with the paint quality and fit and finish on the exterior. I loved the interior, which had no problems, loved the seats, the dash, the no gas stations, and the technology. I also think it is one of the best driving cars I have ever driven. Due...

I did not know that. Tesla Model 3 resale could hold well during this auto economic slump. I sense that most Model 3 buyers have purchased their cars to keep them for a while. That too will be good for resale value.

This is not asking for "perfection," but simply asking for industry standard. Why can't Tesla paint a car like every other manufacturer and why should they get a pass for not doing so?

This current crisis has started to affect the used car market. Even people who haven't lost their job and may be ready for a new car are not out shopping. The auctions are shut down and cars continue to come off of lease. Model 3 lease cars won't be coming off of lease until next year, so the...

Most in car nav systems are really lousy. I cannot remember the last time I used one (other than Tesla). In an ICE car, I use my phone. I wouldn't even update. War Eagle & Roll Tide

If Tesla improved it's paint, I wouldn't even think about a 911. And please add silver back to the color choices.

You are not kidding. Porsche's menu is ridiculous and everything is an option. I looked at a CPO Cayenne that was loaded up for a Cayenne, but whoever ordered it did so with base stereo. Even the Bose is just meh, but base stereo is like mud.
