    Let's talk financing rates

    DCU has 2.24% (currently 2.49% but they offer a .25% discount for an ev) if you do a direct deposit with them up to 65 months. If out of service area a 10$ donation gets you in. If you want a referral code I get you $20 so you still net $10...only issue is getting direct deposit with them and...

    Two days with Model 3 impressions/review- This is not a mini model S

    This thread has been helpful as ive been considering getting a S75D but waiting on its rumored “refresh” whatever that may entail vs the 3 LR. Id love to hear from S owners that still prefer the S if out there. I know on the reddit subreddit a few S owners sold thei 3’s and kept their S.

    Renting a Model S via Turo in the Bay Area Ap performance?

    landing in sfo and driving straight to napa valley for two nights. Curious how AP handles the drive from sfo or at least after the golden vate bridge into napa valley and vice versa? That is all, thanks P.s the most exciting part of my four day vacation I think is four days in a model S...

    added to an existing policy in these states: CT, FL, KY, MD, ME, OH, TX, WV Any current policy with The Hartford that has a Tesla will not be affected, however if you want to add a new Tesla (any model) to your policy it will no longer be allowed as per The Hartford. My reaction to this is...

    That is a great problem to have. Actually lok forward to driving. Even driving to Orlando has always been tedious for me.

    Will I be happy with a complete base MS60?

    Thanks all. I will consider a CPO. As an aside you are never stuck in a lease. It is a contract like any other. You can always sell the vehicle. As long as you get the bank payoff or sbove you are in good shape. I have not turned in a vehicle back to the manufacturer after a lease in many years...

    Will I be happy with a complete base MS60?

    Just to clarify. I could purchase a 90d or 75d comfortably. I am just frugal. It's always been against my nature on a depreciating asset. My daily commute is 15 miles so this is very much a want thing for a vehicle that will have so little bit of miles. I just sold a 2011 year bmw 5 series with...

    Will I be happy with a complete base MS60?

    So I "could" afford it now, however I am a financial advisor and like to practice what I preach. With that being said I may come into a promotion/position change that may instantly double my current income. My wife owns her own business, so I am strongly considering leasing an MS60 its always...

    I live in S. Florida, about zero percent chance to drive in snow, rwd right?

    I agree always in a rwd car as ive been in a bmw since early 2000's based on the thread id like to opt for bigger battery, if its anything like the S configuration of this year upgrading automatically puts you in a D so it will make the decision easier for us :)

    leasing model 3 an option

    This is the way its going to be until the credit runs out. If you are going to lease to purchase do NOT lease at the onsef then. I plan on leaaing and then turning in either for another Model 3 or an S at that point

    I live in S. Florida, about zero percent chance to drive in snow, rwd right?

    your statement of driving your wifes 70d over your 85 was a shocker being that you own both. Can you expand on that please? From all the statements yours has me really considering, although ive been to sf and miami is as flat as it gets. Sf is very hilly. Would you feel the same on flat roads?

    I live in S. Florida, about zero percent chance to drive in snow, rwd right?

    seems like splitting hairs tbh, the people that have awd defending getting awd and those with rwd doing the same. It does seem marginal when it is all said and done, and looks to be a matter of preference.

    What Are Your Daily Driver Plans While Awaiting the Model 3?

    sold my car two weeks ago...don't want to be in any car payments until the model 3. dont want to spend any money on another car...currently trying to figure out if a family of 3 can share 1 car in Miami. Kind of tough so far.

    I live in S. Florida, about zero percent chance to drive in snow, rwd right?

    Great write up. I plan on doing a 36/10 lease of the Model 3, so being a lease keeping costs low especially on options is a smarter decision (less rent charge) there are some definite things I want. I envision any upgraded battery option to potentially come in a D variant as they are doing now...

    I live in S. Florida, about zero percent chance to drive in snow, rwd right?

    Isnt that more of a sign of the tires than rwd/awd? I had an m3 living in miami with Michelin super sports and id Never lose traction. I guess its all an assumption until configurations and pricing comes out but I feel like id rather save the money or apply it to something else. I can't see...

    I live in S. Florida, about zero percent chance to drive in snow, rwd right?

    im wanting leather, auto pilot and probably updated battery or possibly performance but by Elon's tweets it seems awd will have priority. I drive around 15 miles a day at most, speed of charge won't be a concern to me. It may not be an option like on the S 90d and p90d as the current upgraded...

    Model 3 leasing

    Great writeup I understood all this already but you expressed it perfectly. My only non understanding is (and I guess my accountant knows so I dont need to worry) but like to understand is how does the lease when owning a business benefit on the tax schedule? Is it a personal lease that is...

    Are you going to purchase/finance or lease the Model 3?

    I see on other places being mentioned that if you own a business its better to lease. How exactly does it benefit on the tax schedule can anyone shed light? I will probably lease as I dont modify my vehicle and my last vehicle was an bmw 5 series purchased new that i loved for 4.5 years exactly...

    No dash screen -- only 15" touchscreen?

    Unless head of engineering who answered the question plans on changing it. Get used to it. The future is now. It's one display with speedometer in top left corner. I love Model S center display but what can we do

    Am I supposed to receive an e-mail confirmation or?

    I know I was charged the $1000 because my apple pay shows the tesla charge, but since its only a one screen reservation and no print out or anything an email confirmation would be nice :)

    What should I do in the mean time?

    This is what I REALLY want to do but just cant afford to at the moment. I know my business eill be successful but for now I must stay more frugal and resist the temptation.

    What should I do in the mean time?

    I should probably ask this in the volt thread but if I want the volt as a 100% electric option, is that going to be possible? is the gas in the backup engine going to go back if its there for 6months-1year?

    What should I do in the mean time?

    Hope you will allow me to ask this question...bit different, but seeing as we have time till Thursday to just make assumptions of our Model ≡ I figure I can use some help. I sold my 2011 bmw 528i last week. I was original owner only had 32,800 miles on it. I sold it as is was not paid off yet...

    Model 3 Possible Configuration and Options, what will you order?

    I live in Miami and so if I were to purchase an S (can't budget for it at the moment) I would want it to be RWD and have no need for cold weather package. The only thing I would def want is leather seats...not sure how I feel about AP. I have a small child and not sure if I can bring myself to...

    Current non-Tesla owners who plan to buy a Model ≡ ; Have you test driven a Model S?

    as for the CPO list I have been but they are very similar to what they go for retail...a few thousand off and I'm looking for a base S 70 with just leather if I were to pull the trigger on one. My bigger issue is I think that my car is sold (pending final payment from buyers bank) and I'm in...

    Current non-Tesla owners who plan to buy a Model ≡ ; Have you test driven a Model S?

    I did...and I never should have, because now I'm trying to figure out ways to get into the MS. I'm not a big spender on myself, and it probably won't happen but like previously mentioned similarly driving a Model S is like no other experience, it is an experience similar to when you owned your...

    Is my plan Feasible?

    I will look into CPO. My only question is does the tech in the previous year model match that of a 16 base? As in does the display and controls get updated? (Im not concerned with tech such as autopolilot, more so the standard technology)

    Is my plan Feasible?

Model S 70 with leather seats financed for 84 months at %1.99 ($72,500) I'm looking at payments of $925 a month. Take delivery in April...

    Sarasota Tesla store will not take reservations for Model 3 before 1pm on March 31.

    I'll be at the Miami-Dadeland store as well. I was there yesterday and did not have any information as to the time for reservation other than when they opened. Now that we are hearing more so at 1pm, I would advise you to wait closer to the 31st to have a definitive time. Other than that I...
