Then I will clarify to mean that they may have better energy density batteries, but currently at a higher cost/kwh. That seems like a lot of 2170 cells to stuff into such a small frame. As always, I could be wrong.

I get the feeling that people are too fixated on current economical battery technology. Who's to say that Tesla doesn't already have a far better battery, just one that is cost prohibitive to use in mass market cars? I would not be surprised if they already have better technology, just that it...

The more I think about this I feel like it might actually be a good thing. Tesla, which obviously makes FAR superior EV’s than the competition, has almost exhausted their eligibility for the tax credit. Thus, if the tax credit goes away now, the EV market would be on even ground. Tesla has...

Correct me if I’m wrong somehow, but would the EV tax credit going away actually be good for Tesla? They are about to max out anyways, and if it stuck around, it would then be a HUGE selling point for competitors EV’s like GM, Nissan, etc. since they will not hit their 200,000th EV for years to...

No problem except for cost. A lot cheaper to fix now on <200. Butvyes, regardless, small recall fixes happen all the time on lots of cars.

I agree and disagree with you here. Considering that the curve on the $/kWH graphs I have seen has basically leveled out, you may be right. However, 8 years in technology is not necessarily the “not too distant” future. Especially not when we are about to see MASSIVE competition between major...

Really what I am getting at with the options 3 and 4 is: Have you seen something, as a reservation holder, that you didn't like on the Model 3 and provided feedback? I have emailed about the lack of a separate software purchase for just Advanced Cruise Control, or something like that, which...

I have been pleasantly surprised over the years at the power of what a single email can do. We are seeing more details about the Model 3 coming out. I see a lot of people posting complaints about various things (like the wipers only having slow and fast...wtf Tesla?). However, how many of you...

I think I follow the OP in wondering whether Bluetooth will need to be on in order to operate the car? If yes, yes you could turn it on/off all the time, but how annoying would that be? I don't like leaving mine on all the time either.

Neither of us would hit $7500; but combined income, easily. The whole point is moot really because by the time I take delivery, it will like he at 50%, maybe even 25%.

mfs = married filing separately?

Thank you. Are you a tax pro or you just happen to know this will work?

Have you considered that some people's financial situation is a bit more complex than their tax liability would suggest? But thank you for your concern...

Forgive me if I missed this info somewhere, but I read through A LOT of threads on the tax credit hoping to find some info on this, and I only saw it posed as a question, and never answered. Scenario: I myself have a reservation for the M3. Regardless of where the tax credit is in the phase-out...

Actually, by definition, that is EXACTLY a theory. Didn't you pay attention in science class? You've experimented, collected data, tried to falsify the EAP on backroads. You did exactly that. That my friend, is theory, not the misused, "Evolution is just a theory" BS.
