    Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!

    Came here to post something similar. When I click Mytesla, after logging in I get sent back to the home page but the URL includes a reference to reservation number.

    Guessing the reveal event date

    July 20th, the one year anniversary of the "Master Plan, Part Deux" blogpost. July 16th, the three year anniversary of the death of S☰X, and the designation of the car as Model 3.

    Model 3 RC sightings

    A few weeks ago I posted about seeing a manufacturer plated Red vehicle driving around, a block away from the crooked street. I was on foot and caught off guard by what I saw; didn't get any photos. I'm wondering if the neighborhood is a testing ground.

    Model 3 Mule Sightings

    For what it's worth, a few weeks ago I saw a red Tesla with manufactures plates driving around Larkin@Chestnut in San Francsico. It didn't immediately catch my attention (a red 3 is the last thing I'd expect to see), and when I noticed the plates I also saw it was badged as well (looked like...

    Probability of Autopilot becoming standard when Model 3 ships?

    I would not be surprised to see a offering with car insurance; a subscription alternative to lump sum payment.

    Why we won't get a 60 Kw base battery

    Tesla has built it's brand upon the perception of being at the forefront of EV technology. It would be an embarrassment for Tesla to offer a similarly priced yet inferior range alternative to the Chevy.

    Did Tesla lose focus by making the Model 3 an autonomous car instead of a great EV?

    Autonomous capability will enable Tesla to continue monetizing the car post-sale. The Tesla Network has been mentioned, but not enough attention is being given to the concept of Tesla Insurance that Musk has hinted at. Consumers are paying billions for auto insurance; if Tesla can come offer a...

    Any hope for leasing????

    I would suspect resale in the $30k to $45k range. You will be competing against three years of additional 70D, 75D, 85D, and 90D expired leases; 2+ years of Model 3 production; and possibly 1+ year of Model Y production. Demand may be more diversely spread; and lower for the S. Battery tech...

    Anyone willing to wait for a USED Model 3?

    I'm interested to see what happens to the CPO S market. There should be a good selection of 70D and 85D leases expiring over the next 12 to 15 months.

    Model 3 Supercharging Capable Discussion

    I don't believe per use access fees is the way to go. Supercharger abuse is the result of the convienence of the station and lack of alternative charging options. If someone can plug into L2 while at work, or while running errands, a visit to the supercharger may become an inconvenience rather...

    Gigafactory workers protest, walk off the job

    The union workers walked off because the non-union workers at Brycon are being paid a much lower wage. According to the local union official quoted by ThisisReno (a source article within one of OP's links), Brycon is paying $12-14/hour; doing some research, I see Local 169's prevailing wage is...
