I talked to a Tesla rep over the phone and they told me turn the tag over and it’s good for another 30 days. He also said that it usually takes a week or so more and thus the double dealer tag.

I have an AWD, vin 117XXX, have had it for about a month and heard it thump a couple of times while driving and supercharging. My Prius made similar noises under the hood when waking up before driving it.

Hi Bollar, Thanks for that, I was getting confused on what had transpired at the delivery. It happened quite fast... :) I have been driving it around with my next door neighbor and he aske ab out it and I did not remember. Cheers, Eric B.

Hi All, New Model 3 owner here and I need some help. This may be covered already but what is the drill for registering the car in Texas? If its already covered can you link me to the threads? Cheers, Eric B.

Remember me if you get one going. Waze made me think of it.

I think this opens up an opportunity for an I-phone I-pad app.

Thanks for that link. The numbers in that post are a little different than my numbers but not by much. I think the difference is that I am taking also the rolling resistance. Cheers, Eric B.

Hi Guys, Has anyone tried to calculate the power needed to move the car at steady state load IE wind resistance, rolling resistance, frontal area, velocity etc ? I think you will come a lot closer to reality. Cheers, Eric B.

Hello all, just put down my reservation for an M3. Wish the MY was out would have put it down on it. Cheers, Eric B.

Daily driver, 50mile round trip commute. Replaces my 2010 Prius.

Signed and confirmed. Cheers, Eric B.

I remember when the Volt hit the Houston dealers. They were trying to sell it for ~$50K. The motor electronics packaging under the hood on the Bolt is pretty ugly. It looks like they took the Volt engine package and just removed the ICE.

In an earlier post I read where the Model ≡ will have the 60Kwh battery and will get ~230 to 250 miles per charge. I concur, Tesla will be much better off putting a 60Kwh battery then the M ≡ will easily make the magical 200 miles per charge. In my opinion the car needs to be Supercharger ready...

TexasEV, A future SC location would be on the south end of Beaumont or Winnie, better spacing and I could drive to the kids house in Nederland/Port Neches.

Outfornow, That may be your thoughts and they might be wrong. I think a some of the R&D money from last year was spent on the Model 3 and Tesla is a lot farther ahead in M3 development. I suppose we will see soon enough. Eric B. Future Model 3 owner, present 2010 Prius owner.

The car needs to be compelling in both base performance and base accessories. It should rival the BMW 3 base models and still keep particular features that immediately say its a Tesla. I certainly don't want another Toyota Prius and if I wanted a Leaf I would have one. I certainly don't covet...

I would think that there would be another line added to take the load for a future 500,000 cars as guided by Tesla.

The advantages of electric motors over ICE engines is the electric motor is more efficient than ICE to the tune of 80% to 90% where the best ICE efficiency ranges ~20%. The waste heat from the ICE engine requires dedicated cooling for the engine to survive any length of time. The electric motor...

Could be a heads up display on the windscreen. That would be sweet.

Hi Guys, Will be looking to get an M3 when its available. I currently drive a 2010 Prius and cant wait to get rid of the car.
