This surprised and saddened me. Since Tesla can sell used cars in the state here's a workaround I thought up this morning. Probably a lot of kinks to work out, but it's a potential start. 1) Contract the buyer/reservation holder to purchase a used car with configuration x, which can be...

My second Model X spot, this one was in a local sporting goods parking lot.

I did my reservation around then and the employee told me they didn't take Discover. :rolleyes: I had to put it on my Visa instead. Still no email or anything Model 3 related in MyTesla. My Visa shows a pending charge so I'm not worried.

Was wrapped around the store in SLC this morning. Still 3/4th of the way around the store at 11:30.

Looks like one of the Air Force's radar tracking systems went down, according to a Elon tweet: Apparently they're going to replace the first stage video transmitter as well (tweet):

In regards to the thread, I think that anyone in the market for car should at least give an EV an honest chance. (Not to go too far off-topic but I think that's a big reason for Tesla's recent "happiness guarantee", as Tesla has no need to hike demand.) While Tesla currently has a negligible...

I would be OK with a hatchback but I'd prefer a wagon. I can almost guarantee Tesla won't come out with a wagon, though, as they don't sell well in the U.S..

I really like how that looks, it's fantastic. I'd keep the handles chrome or black and remove the "Model S" and "P85" badging (keep the "T"). Also look at painting the calipers yellow.

I spotted this one on the 28th on my way up to the University of Utah:

I'm not a lawyer but based on the news I've read it basically makes the Tesla Stores illegal in Michigan. It means Tesla cannot sell their cars directly (via company-owned Stores) and the law now states they can only sell them through franchised dealerships. Cars can still be configured and...

According to the Design Studio the AWD is available on all trim levels. :biggrin:

Tesla monitors Supercharger utilization and has added additional charging stalls to stations that are most frequently used. Because of this, even when the Tesla Factory is producing at full capacity Supercharging won't be an issue. Tesla will continue to add Supercharging stations as well which...

That is probably part of it. He worked with Andy Palmer (recently-appointed Aston Martin CEO) at Nissan for a long time according to this article. Maybe they had recently talked and wanted to join forces again.

True, although I was basing that off the MarketWatch "article". I don't really believe a prototype Model 3 will be revealed, yet. Since Elon specifically said "other letter", that would lean more towards a Model X beta reveal. I don't see them showing Model 3 as the "something else" given that...

Given that Tesla has (so far) taken ~3 years between a prototype reveal and the actual product release a Model ≡/Model 3 reveal could very well be the "something else". The "something else" could be a a truck based on the Model S/X platform (although highly unlikely). Elon mentioned that a...
