FWIW, I have a (non-Tesla) car with frameless windows, and I do not have any problem with water getting in. I go through a high-powered brushless car wash a couple times a week, without issue.

Rain-sensing wipers? :rolleyes:

Look on the bright side... Based on the current production ramp-up, by the time the Model 3 is delivering at scale, there could be a Democrat back in the White House and the EV credit could be back. ;)

Oh I'm sure that a few have... but unfortunately I am skeptical that it will become widespread any time in the foreseeable future.

What could they do? They can't do anything, except perhaps push for legislation so that ICE cars could be ticketed... Good luck with that.

Which means... few to no (non-employee) Model 3s... where it will hurt the most. And if you want it on an S or X, you'd better get moving.

And from Electrek... Electric vehicle $7,500 tax credit expected to go away with new House tax bill, says congressman

This. Maybe look up the cost of the fine in your state, but to me it's worth the (low) risk of a ~$70 ticket. They're legally required here, but it is extremely common to see luxury/sports cars going without. When I got my first BMW, the dealer asked me whether I wanted them to mount the...

I'm guessing the thought process was to give people a heads up that the windows would be pushing out rather than letting them log in and be surprised by it, without any warning or explanation. That said, the email could have been clearer about when the site will be updated...

I bought a different car. But I am holding on to the reservation for the moment.

Yep, got the email. Cannot login - it just reloads the page when I click "Sign In." I've already bailed, in any case... bought a 440 a couple weeks back. But for the moment, I'm hanging on to the reservation just because.

Funny you mention this - a coworker was just telling me about this for BMW last week. He is already planning a trip to do this with his next BMW in the spring. I have only heard details of the BMW offering, but I assume Audi's is roughly the same. In the case of a BMW, BMW still ships the car...

The S5 Sportback is what I really want. But although theoretically they're about the same price as the S4, in reality they are in short supply, the ones that are to be found are highly optioned, and the dealers aren't negotiating much on them... resulting in the S4 being available for...

Every day I go back and forth. It's likely to come down to where I can get the better deal on a car that I want. I've had a truly flawless experience over all with my 335, which makes me want to stay with what I know and have enjoyed. On the other hand, I (like granger) drove the new 2018 S4...

Ditto, ditto, ditto. I will probably be cancelling my reservation. 1) I have major concerns about some core controls only being accessible on a touchscreen. Sure, it looks cool, but it doesn't make functional sense and IMO isn't safe. I can do everything in my car without taking my eyes...
