Same here...looking at mid-February 2018 now due to AWD...according to the Model 3 Estimator thing.

This was the line I waited in in Bellevue, WA. Made it onto Tesla's facebook page. I was about 85th in line. Reserved at about 10:25AM PST. Went back at lunch time and the line was still all the way across the mall and downstairs to the first floor. They turned off an escalator to use as...

Waiting for AWD

By the time deliveries begin for non-employees, whats another 6 months? I would have already waited 1.5 years since reserving. Honestly it will give me more time to pay off existing debt and save more for maybe 1 or 2 more options. Also, the longer you wait to take a delivery, the more "bugs"...

Its only about 10 miles increase for the S and X I think. But I would consider it a secondary minor benefit to having better traction, and a little quicker.

Apparently someone thought this was funny? Sounds like you are being serious.

I have such mixed feelings right now...my situation: 1) Get an early RWD model...almost guaranteed the full 7500 tax credit. Be that "cool guy with one of the first Model 3's". 2) Wait for AWD model...risk full tax credit by waiting...But more time to pay off existing debt and save more. Wife...

We were going to take the "scenic" route back to Washington as well (Highway 101). Probably spending a couple nights in CA hotels...CA restaurants for food...etc etc....I had it all planned out last year. Too bad.

Well...sucks for California. They won't be getting my tourism. Sucks more for me though. I really wanted to make the journey.

Yeah I know this is just taking shots in the dark...but I think 100 feet of this cable per car is a bit of an over estimate. We don't have a schematic though (at least I don't)...so at this point who the hell knows. What is definitely clear though...this was a big purchase for large numbers of...

He did say that...but this is for the high voltage cable (battery to inverters to motors only). The 1.5 km per car number was for all the wire in the car.

Saw this on the Model 3 Owners Club twitter feed this morning. Döblinger Firma verkabelt den Tesla 3 Summary (if you don't want to read): Austrian supplier has received an order from Tesla for 3000 kilometers of high voltage cable (presumably for Model 3). Maybe we can do some math and figure...

Yeah I really hope there is some legislation proposed this year again...the last bill died regarding this last year.

Yeah this is my dilemma. Right now if I were to pick up my car at the factory, I would essentially be canceling out that tax break I would get in WA and just giving normal sales tax to CA instead. I guess I will wait and see what happens...maybe we tweet Elon about it. :)

There has been a few conversations here and there about the legislation proposed to exclude out-of-state car sales from the California Sales Tax. Has anyone heard of recent developments with this? All I can find online is links to a couple forum threads from last year, and that the proposed...
