So I ended up heading to Yorkdale today to check out the Model 3. Glad there wasn't a line-up given the Easter long weekend. I was pleasantly surprised at just how deep the trunk's extra cubby was. I would have preferred a more traditional trunk style, but I can live with the Model 3's...

got mine too! Non-owner, line waiter. Reserved March 31st at Yorkdale!

Omg!!! Line waiter, non owner, I can configure as well! Timely, since I planned on heading to Yorkdale this weekend!!

Was there a long line-up? I am planning on heading out there with my dad this coming long weekend, but I want more than 2 minutes with the car.

You get 2 wheels for the price of 1 with aeros. Tesla now cells centre caps when you what the aero covers off. The look is growing on me. Check out the Tesla shop on the official website for the close up photos of the aero rims.

I was really wanting the sport wheels, but having 2 looks for 1 price with the aero wheels was growing. The center caps have sealed the deal!! Thanks O.P.!!

So Vancouver is getting a car, and so is Yorkdale, Toronto. It looks like they're getting ready to launch! My current and others' estimates for Dual Motor Model 3 is Mid-2018. Exciting times!! I'll probably go to Yorkdale in a couple of weeks to check it out!

I think the reporting is because the cumulative holding is now less than 5% total of the float, at 4.97%. That's how I read the filing, and perhaps others with more experience reading these filings can weigh in.

Where are you all seeing your delivery estimator? My account only has an option to manage my reservation. It’ll be interesting to see what the EVIP will be for Ontario later this year.

Those panel gaps look great at the rear, much better than the earliest models.

Isn’t Kimbal invested in various restaurant and food related companies? I recall that it’s one of his passions, and that he went to culinary classes early on.

I had the same thing happen yesterday, a quick refresh and mine reverted back to March 31, 2016.

So you can cross streets? Number one rule of crossing streets is to make eye contact with drivers. The other thing is, if you can see them they can see you too. That's why nobody should tail gate big trucks. If you can't see the truck's side mirrors, chances are it'll be hard for them to see...

No idea on PST for the HST portion. It'll be interesting to see what programs get funded through the green fund. For example there was just an offer for a free smart thermostat.Greenon.ca

Started in 2014 after learning about a private rocket company and finding out Elon had an electric car company. Bought 40 shares, and did more research, and kept continually buying more thereafter. First purchase was at $183, and now it's averaged up to about $230. My Retirement fund and...

It's not too hard to put them on, they're only stuck on anyways. Perhaps it's intentionally omitted to maintain whatever mystique the reveal has left, because nobody in the public knows for sure the true specifications of the Model 3.

Anyone else notice more YouTube videos being uploaded by Tesla these days?

Rubber under the door handle is probably a damper so the handle popping back into position doesn't bang.

I tried to compare the A4, IS, BMW 3-series with the Model 3. The main problem when making a comparison is that the Model 3 I imagine would come with Navigation even in the base model. All of the other marques you need to get an expensive navigation package. It all comes down to what you...

Congrats!! It's kind of ironic the award has pistons for its design, of which your car has none. :p

You can almost see how the wheel covers align with the turbine wheel's spokes. That actually makes a lot of sense if the black centre cap comes off and serves as the attachment point for the covers.

loving the brake calipers on the front wheels! Another thing I'm wondering about is how sturdy the charge door is.

Road trip to Ottawa

Yes

My current 2008 IS350 is rated at 13 cubic feet. In utility though it's horrible because the rear seats don't fold down, and the wheel well eats into the trunk. My personal need is for the trunk on a model 3 to fit 2 large suitcases.

Sig Red for me. Ever since I've seen the signature model S and X I've fallen in love.

Same here. Model 3 is aiming squarely at entry level luxury (3 series, A4, IS, C-class). Remember, the value proposition is that even the base model 3 will have tech features that are only found in highest trim luxury such as navigation, remote entry and app access.

Tow hook I think. There just isn't a cover on the car in the photo.

Would have preferred AWD, but will likely be an early adopter for Model 3. Large battery and RWD it is. My current car IS350 is also RWD (horrendous in Canadian winters) so I'm already better off by getting a Model 3.

Ultrasonic sonar sensor. Model S and X have them too. It's part of the autopilot sensor suite.

The live videos made those drawings of how the landing attempts are done much easier to follow. Fantastic coverage of first stage!

NROL-76 launch and landing attempt at LZ-1 successful. Seriously awesome stream of first stage for the entire stream. I would not bet against the CEO of spacex and Tesla.

Loving it! It appears that the 3 has a good ceiling height, and looks a tad higher than the S. Maybe that's just an illusion because the chase S is a longer car, but we shall see.

Wait, this information is available again?

So the full tesla line-up of cars would be S3XYR than the competition? (sexier?)

I too cannot see Tesla making a Hybrid truck. There are others doing so already. Check out Ian Wright's way of tackling the worst diesel polluters. .

busted through? Cleared my margin last week, no more shares being lent out by TD for me!

I really wonder how big the Frunk will be on the 3. I don't mind missing out on AWD as my daily driver is currently a RWD car, if it means a bigger Frunk. I'm mainly looking into a car with a bit more utility once it's time to start a family in a couple of years.

Stopped by the Oakville location today with my dad to check out a Model X in person. It was pretty busy for a Saturday at 2:00pm. They had a 5 seater Model X for the showroom, and the Falcon Wings were disabled by staff in the full open position. It's probably smart to limit the wear and tear...

2008 Lexus IS350. It's served me very well, but second generation IS don't have foldable backseats. Will be getting married next year, and will need something more practical going forward, so Model 3 it is. Besides, my Model 3 can perhaps be my limo, unless someone here offers to drive a...

I am cross-posting from the Ontario EV thread, I noticed another difference. Prior, Manufacturer Demo EVIP was limited to < 2000km for a buyer of a demo car to qualify for the $14000. Now, so long as a dealer requests an extended range EVIP demo, that can be increased to 15000km! That's a hot...

Thanks to @Scifi_tv_fan for the update. I just noticed that there's an extended mileage EVIP for manufacturers that allow cars that have between 2000km and 15000km at the point of sale to qualify! Am I reading this right? This is HUGE, if one get get a Demo car with an additional $14000...

I got in line on March 31st before the reveal. I'm not counting on receiving the EV rebates, but I wanted to increase my odds. The way I see it, suppose the Model 3 qualifies for $14,000 rebate, the province can only allow so many rebates before it will need to curtail the program in some...

Just drove by the store today to on the way to visit my folks. Pretty sure I spotted vehicle lifts in place as I drove by on the highway. I can't wait to pick up my Model 3 there. Oakville is great because it also helps capture the Halton Regions of Burlington, Hamilton, Dundas, and Ancaster...

I also believe Costco has inventory on consignment. The vendor gets paid for what sells, so totally different business model than Walmart. I've seen people return half eaten apple pies for that reason.

Going on a nice scenic drive.

I am personally hoping that they will prioritize those who reserved in person. Remember, the US tax credit situation only applies to US bound cars, not those shipped intentionally. Hopefully some Canucks will get a nice Christmas present!

I found a video on YouTube that someone made on tour. Follow the link to the Gigafactory thread to see the YouTube video. Tesla Gigafactory

I found a YouTube clip from I think a TMCer that allowed me to live vicariously through those lucky people who were able to go to the live event.

That's just gorgeous. Can't wait for them to start production! I'm torn between the blue and silver!
