At this point can't afford a Model S (not interested in the 3) so we put down a deposit on a 2018 Nissan Leaf. Three month wait. Planning on leasing it for 3 years so we have some options when other manufacturers come out with their EVs and/or finally be able to afford a Tesla.

30% smaller and 30% less useful. Please stop comparing your Smart ED with every other EV - no comparison. For those of us with a family that can only afford or want one car it is impractical.

We have a daughter so need a family car - our Matrix is perfect if only it was electric. Good luck though waiting for Toyota to build something similar as a full electric.

I was excited watching the initial few minutes of the announcement as the redesign is much better on the eyes. But then when they started saying it is not an EV, the word "compliance car" instantly came to mind. Why not sell it as an EV as that is what it is and the main reason someone is going...

What the heck is the HST - oh right, BC had it and then decided to switch back to PST/GST ☹️. How soon we forget!

Less than a minute!

Maybe this will be my first Tesla - a bit more achievable than $125,000CDN

But do you really need it - understandable for a phone that you might be putting in your pocket or bag/purse, but not for something that is in a static position all the time. Seems like someone is hoping to make a quick buck on all of this Model 3 hype. Maybe the next accessory is a silicon...

Awesome work! Very professional looking, even better than what I see coming from traditional car advertising.

And that is what is wrong with this world we live in: people putting their wants before the good of the planet. People still insist on wearing real fur coats too. While I don’t 100% agree with using synthetic materials either, what alternatives do we have for seats that are easily cleaned...

Looks like there will be quite a few Model 3's in Victoria from everyone's replies! I didn't reserve one as I don't like the lack of a hatchback like the S and X but still looking forward to seeing one in the flesh here on the Island. Maybe it would be good second car for my wife to drive as she...

Some nice looking gardens! Great idea for a thread as it ties in nicely with sustainability which is of course what Tesla is all about. Our own garden is doing well. I really like my new cedar raised beds for our veggies. However it has been hot (25C most days) and dry so some of the veggies...

I can’t see the struts you are talking about - the only cut I see in the first photo (side view) is quite high up on the roof - almost leads me to think it is a hatchback like the Model S, but we didn’t see that in the RCs, so that might be wishful thinking. Not being a hatchback is my only...

Glad always to hear a positive story amid all the negative ones that seem to be prevalent here. I'm convinced that those that have lots of problems attract those problems. Just like if you get up in a bad mood in the morning and complain about everything you will attract bad things happening to...

Glad you are okay. Hope you can get your car fixed quickly. We have deer around her too and I've had close calls especially when I used to drive through a forested road on my way grocery shopping early every Saturday morning. They seem to come out in the early morning for breakfast I guess...
