    Paintwork protection

    I plan on having mine done in Xpel Ultimate, that usually runs $2000 ish for the front clip of the car, so I would expect at least 4k for a full wrap (although not necessary).

    Model 3 Door Handles - Here is how they actually work

    I really wouldn't worry about the handles icing. If you know its going to be icy, use the "remote start" to heat up the car before going out and that should be enough to thaw it enough to chip it away.

    Best economy, cruise control or mild hypermile

    Yes I agree that CC is a bit too aggressive. I have gotten the best hyper-miling mpg with good old fancy footwork

    How many miles a year will you drive your model ☰?

    I drive 70 miles a day which equates roughly 19k a year on just commuting, not to mention other side trips. So I'm estimating 20k a year.

    An attempt at a spreadsheet to compare Model 3 vs. A4 operating costs

    I'll be putting roughly 19k miles a year on mine I believe so I guess I will find out how long they last

    Online / / Will probably pick up at the Rockville Service Center, MD.

    How old are the people who reserved one?

    22 here. Hoping the car will last me a very long time :)

    An attempt at a spreadsheet to compare Model 3 vs. A4 operating costs

    I wouldn't let oil be in a car for 15k miles, even if it is standard. My 2015 mustang gt is supposed to be changed every 5-7500 but I will still change it every 2-3k or once a year, whatever happens first. It can't hurt to change it more frequently, and the peace of mind / cheap cost is worth it.

    Wheel Size?

    I wouldn't mind an 18" wheel with a slightly larger profile all season tire for comfort, and maybe the 20" wheel with a summer tire as the "performance/upgraded" wheel/tire package.

    An attempt at a spreadsheet to compare Model 3 vs. A4 operating costs

    Premium is only $2.10 in NJ? :O it's ~$2.50 here! And I only predict that they will continue to rise so the Mustang might have to stay parked more often than not :/

    How will you pay for your new model 3?

    I'll be putting down a good amount and then financing the rest. Can't hurt to have a loan for more credit :)

    What Are Your Daily Driver Plans While Awaiting the Model 3?

    Hope my 95 Saturn with 180k miles survives until delivery :)

    POLL: Model 3 Options, what will you spend your money on?

    I will get AWD if it isn't overly expensive same with leather. A larger battery would be #1 on my list so I can go further without having to charge.

    Wheel Option Speculation

    Yeah if I'm going to have big brakes on the car (4 piston brembo, etc) I definitely want the wheel to be transparent enough to be able to see them, plus it lets them cool better during hard braking.

    Model 3 Notchback Trunk - Deal-Killer?

    I honestly have no complaints after seeing the perspective from doublejj's post. That's plenty of room for a couple of suitcases!
