Awesome great tips. I will have a quick review of my finances but I have a Model 3 on reserve as well! Is there any way to take the test drive without a representative tagging along?

I am passing through Montreal next month and have set up a time/date to test drive a Model S. Just wondering if anyone has any tips/tricks/ideas for the test drive? Also, the Tesla rep I spoke with was really grilling me on whether or not I was interested in buying a Model S, and if so, in...

I personally believe that PHEV is a compromise that gives you the worst of both worlds. Just my opinion Congrats on the new vehicle.

Thanks for the links.

That's what she said.

what is WAZE?

They do now...

was wondering the same thing.

Love it! Any reports of lineups forming West Coast USA?

What's t 901 Page St ?

Count me in for Montreal at opening.

I think Tesla is changing the "standard" in how we view front grills on automobiles. Soon, when we see a traditional ICE-Style grill, it will be associated with old, outdated technology. Of course, this is important because ICE vehicles must keep the grill to allow air to flow into the engine...

Is it just me or is GMs video release of the Bolt in production eerily similar to some of Tesla's marketing? It's almost like a pathetic, failed attempt to emulate Tesla.

thanks

For those that have been through the reservation process (S/X) would I be able to put a reservation in for a friend? I plan on visiting the nearest Tesla store the day of the reveal and a friend asked me to put a deposit down for him.

Thanks for the information. I'm just looking for a round figure here...

My question wasn't in regards to the cost of the vehicle to the consumer. I was referring to the cost of the vehicle to Tesla to manufacture using aluminum instead of steel. Are we talking a few thousand dollars difference?

I understand that steel is approximately half the cost of aluminum; given the total steel/aluminum used in the making of a vehicle, how much additional cost are we talking here if they do indeed go with aluminum?

Great video. Is your wife as enthused about the vehicle as you are?

Only slightly more than a P90?

I'm not suggesting that you are criticizing Tesla, I'm suggesting that you are wrong.

My favorite render thus far.

How much money do you have!?:confused:

I strongly disagree. They are not just going to blindly mass produce Model X to meet quarterly numbers; this isn't General Motors.

Motley Fool Reviews Model X

I disagree with all of these.

How much electricity can one of these Powerpacks actually hold?

True, but this is not as easy as you may think. Doing so will require a revisit of their entire business model and the announcement alone would risk hurting their own sales.

Resources alone won't build you a battery factory; you also need vision and will. GM (and most Tesla competitors) appear to mostly lack both right now.

Reminds me of Blackberry CEO when the iPhone started selling. See the following quotes: Balsillie on the iPhone in February 2007: "It’s kind of one more entrant into an already very busy space with lots of choice for consumers ... But in terms of a sort of a sea-change for BlackBerry, I would...

Didn't enjoy?

Damn, how much money do pilots make??? I'm thinking about going to flight school..

Wow...

Bingo

I think part of the reason Tesla decided to go "grill-less" is to make the grill look obsolete. I've personally started noticing that grills on SUVs are already beginning to look archaic to me reminding me of the archaic technology behind it. I think Tesla is making a statement and soon the...

who'd you "hear" that from?

thanks for the pic.

My bad.

Extensive Model X Review on YouTube Most extensive review I've seen to date. Don't think it's been posted yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdzDPUpyla4

Interesting that you're calling him out for calling her out. Kind of a paradox, don't you think? :wink:

Interesting, in your opinion, do you see Hong Kong being as big for Tesla sales as Elon Predicts?

Absolutely great post Karl. The electric motor completely makes a century worth of Engine technology obsolete. Back to the drawing board for all ICE manufactures who now have to start from scratch with battery technology, tooling of plants, hiring of engineers, complex electronics, and of...

Awesome. It would be interesting to hear what the Hong Kong population thinks of the car.

So his views are biased and skewed towards the negative.

It's quite clear that Doctor is short Tesla stock.

I think I answered your question: "Tesla is more interested in doing it right than doing it quickly" Model X is a never-before-built vehicle. Nothing of it's kind exists. I don't care how well you plan things, there are going to be hiccups when pdouction starts. Tesla is finding out what...

Flank, when is the last time you built a manufacturing company from scratch, did almost all of the production and design in-house, then produced a game-changing product the likes of which has never before been seen? Tesla is more interested in doing things right than doing them quickly. I...
