I don’t think the apple analogy holds. First apple was an extremely mature brand. Many people were on like there 3rd or 4th iPhone. I had charging blocks all over the house (and every single 3rd party one works just as well, that cost 5 bucks). Years later I still haven’t had to buy one...

I think both the off menu ones are. Unfortunately the long range is 10,000 more (but includes auto pilot) then the SR, which prices it out of my range.

Ahhh well then it is fortunate my current car is worth (trade in wise) roughly the state sales tax so the loan amount doesn’t change only what I need to bring for my final payment.

i am waiting to hear back from the store but I figured this community would be faster (how dare Tesla not answer questions on a Sunday night). 1. Can a delivery location be changed? I am not pleased with the ones the Tesla ordering process is giving me. 2. Can I start the trade in process...

I am fairly close to ordering a model 3. In an effort to save as much money as possible I wanted to see if what I have picked up on is true for Michigan. I am 5 months away from my birthday, so I should be able to renew my car's plate now. Then when I buy the model 3 I can transfer the plate...

Blue with Black

I would like to order an SR and receive it in the month of June. What is the communities thoughts on when I should order?

Can I ask thoughts on autopilot? I drive 20 miles, all freeway, to work, it’s michigan so no traffic backups. I think traffic aware cruise sounds great but am worried that I will be drawn to playing with my phone if I get autopilot. Also the $3,000 (for SR) is near that top of what I can pay.

Yeah I am definitely leaning that way

Yes I imagine this administration would dance a jig if anything bad happened to any company based in California. They would probably be happy to see the entire state fall into the sea.

Nice I live outside spring lake so I know exactly where you are talking about.

That is definitely concern #2 but based on reading the various forums the car should generally still work even if it needs service (so I can make it to Chicago if mobile can’t take care of it). Part of me wants to get one to poke Michigan legislature in the eye over not allowing Tesla to sell here.

I know part of it is the amount, it’s a lot of money, even if I go for an SR. And I do like the car the test drive was fun.

Unfortunately leasing is not an option with my commute, I live in West Michigan so a 20 mile commute only takes 20 minutes but that translates to 15k+ miles a year. Good idea though, and I appreciate your comments on fears.

I am a worrier that is for sure
