Good news guys, I've gone full joke. Our Story Please continue to support this cause with all of the sarcasm.

I'm shocked that his is still a trending thread! I have a whole $5.00 donated. Can't wait to see $10.00, lol. At the very least, it was fun seeing everyone's reaction to all this. I enjoyed setting everything up on GoFundMe. And yes, I was totally half-joking\half-serious the whole time...

Not sure if anything like this has been attempted\done before, but I started a GoFundMe account to "crowd-fund\build" a Tesla Model S. I know it's a crazy idea (and if it's not your cup of tea, no worries), but I thought it would be cool to have a Model S built completely from donations and...

Looking forward to my P70D Model 3 in 2017 as I ordered 10:20am in Vegas on the 31st. I'm pretty sure my $1k is still worth $1k to Tesla. People paying $2k for multiple vehicles hoping to flip reservations really aren't going to find a huge market in pure cash buyers for the Model 3 when those...

I'd buy that for a dolla...wait, tens of thousands of dollars!

I would like to point out here that just because you make your reservation in Las Vegas doesn't mean you'll get placed in front of others on the East Coast. It all depends on the car's ultimate destination. I could go reserve a car next to Fremont, CA but that doesn't mean I'll receive it at...

And I totally agree with your maths. Even taking the lower figure and adding all the cowbells that I'm sure most people will want, you're looking at $60k easy.

Yes, that seems like a reasonable payment for this car equipped at $50k. Take BMW for example. How much is a 328i? $38,350 Then, look at the performance model, the M3. $63,500 For people who are looking for a PXXD, they'll be looking at spending $60k+ for a well equipped equivalent of a BMW...

As this was discussed before launch in another thread already... Here's my well thought out options (all prices assuming 30% reduction from Model S). Tesla Model 3 Configuration Costs Necessary PXXD Model Upgrade Battery - Included Dual Motor - Included Subtotal $ 23,100.00 Nice to Have...

My two cents on production order is this (based off of Tesla History): -Employees and SpaceX Employees get the chance to configure first. Those who configure a PXXD model, will be the first anywhere to receive this car. They will be alpha testers. -West Coast configuration emails get sent to...

Love the Model S facelift. Can't wait to see if they'll apply it to the Model 3. The wait is real...late 2017 :(

I'm all about efficiency (coming from a Volt with 35mi range), so I'm good with the front end. Yes, a modified front end would look better IMO but I don't want it changed at the cost of range. You do you Elon.

Las Vegas, NV Store. Got there at 8:30am. Was shocked to see the size of the line. Considered getting breakfast, but sacrificed calories for the cause. I was about the 100th (guy 7ish people in front of me officially counted 90 in front of them) person in line. Got done shortly before...

We also have to remember that: 1.) Not all employees of Space X and Tesla will be reserving Model 3's By using an aggressive number (80%), we're still looking at 16k employees getting first dibs. I'd argue the number being more likely two-thirds of employees ordering Model 3's. That would...
