Do you live in Carmel, IN?

Could there be multiple packages? 1) Unlimited supercharging for $2,000. 2) Four supercharging visits per year for $1,000. Would this get around the utility regulations some have mentioned while still allowing for occasional supercharging visits?

I'm a little worried about build quality. I was in the Tesla store last week and the S they had on display was horrendous, panel gaps and misaligned trim pieces everywhere. The X and other S's on the ' garage ' weren't any better. If they still don't have this nailed down for the S, I don't see...

I'm assuming that the MT estimates are fairly accurate, which is great! All the 170" estimates floating around here had me a little worried this was going to be a much smaller car than I'd anticipated.

I think it's mostly intended for the sales people so they can simulate different versions you're considering. However, the ability to switch between RWD and AWD would be nice for the reasons posted in the original question.

yes, you can. The Model S allows you to software select different versions. For example if you have a P90D you can select the 70D, or just the 70. The car will then limit the performance so that it drives like that lower model. Unfortunately it does not work the other way around ;-)

I agree, I think the crossover version will satisfy those that want a hatchback. Yes, it will sit slightly higher than the 3, and look a little more like a crossover, but I suspect these will both be kept to a minimum for aerodynamics. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up looking more like a...

Somebody needs to figure out how wide that sidewalk is! Construction plans are public information and should have that information...or someone could fly in a drone with a tape measure...

Probably because exterior dimensions necessarily dictate interior dimensions to a certain extent. Even if Tesla is able to stretch this to the limits, people still associate external dimensions with car classes. A car that looks small is assumed to be small. For me, I don't want anything...

MT got to see it in person and was taking questions and no one asked how big it was?!?!

In my opinion Tesla has partially conquered one of the largest hurdles to mass adoption: range. The largest remaining hurdle for Tesla to overcome is reliability. Reliability is important to new buyers who don't want to be left stranded by a car that's doors won't open and for resale value 5...

Your analysis seems pretty reasonable. No idea if it's accurate, but it's in line with what I was thinking as well. I'm just hoping Tesla can figure out a way to up that number from 78k to 100k (I have hard time imagining the number being higher than that, given Tesla's history). The more they...

A few lucky people got to the Black Matte Model 3, but it appears that none of them had a tape measure :-( Eye-Catching Matte Black Tesla Model 3 Goes Out In The Wild - Gallery

Perhaps someone could use the license plate as a reference point? Those should be standard width. Any better rear photos than these? http://www.worldhab.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/tesla-model-3-rear-image.jpg...
