Question: Is dual motors worth waiting for someone who lives in CA and already has a Subaru XV for snow? I would like the quickest possible model and AWD is nice for the mountain roads I frequently drive but waiting until Oct-Dec 18 (at the earliest) when tax credits start expiring is worrisome...

Yeah but I can't ride a mobile data service. Lol

I love BO's sub-orbit approach to space tourism. Going up in New Shepard's capsule would be the thrill of a lifetime for anybody who hasn't actually been in space. If launches can be a regular thing and revenue being drummed up quickly from tourist flights, then that can put BO ahead of the...

It will be interesting to see how Blue Origin and the New Glenn fit in with all of this.

That's my question. Would there be professional flight crew personnel on board as well. I would assume at least 1-2 crew-members would be professional astronauts on the SpaceX payroll.

If I was a 1%er I'd do it in a heartbeat. So NASA is conducting a feasibility study to add crew to EM-1 (at the request of the current WH administration) and SpaceX is planning it's first manned flight for a trans-lunar trajectory. 2018 is going to be exciting indeed!

That's not that much damage considering the forces involved.

That's good info. Thanks. Unfortunately Fiat isn't an option for us since we're expecting a kiddo in June. But damn they are cheap used.

Hero in my book.

So my old Tacoma is kinda falling apart and I'm looking at selling it and picking up a used Leaf to bridge the gap before my Model 3 is available. My commute is only 10 miles each way and we have plenty of chargers at work so the Leaf should be fine for my needs. Wife has a Mazda 3 hatch we can...

Yes, the merchandise email handle is what I went through. It took a little while to get a response though.

Glad you got it! I have mine up at work too. All I need to do is look to the right of my monitors and it's there reassuringly reminding me of the future...and why I don't have $1000 more in my bank right now. :D

Just got it last night. Sorry for blurry pic. Note says "Thank you for ordering a Model 3. - Elon" You're most welcome Elon. Now get back to work. :D
