    Would you rock solid/flat/smooth wheels for more range?

    Absolutely not. I have to draw the line somewhere.

    CNBC reporting 3 delivery pushed to mid-2018 or later

    Tesla Model 3 is not delayed, CNBC misreports and sends Tesla (TSLA) stock crashing "We reached out to Tesla and a company representative confirmed that the change on the Model 3 page on its website doesn’t reflect any change for the Model 3 production or delivery plans, but only to reflect...

    Do the headlights ruin the styling?

    The headlights are one of the highlights to me.

    You pre-ordered a Tesla Model III, so what, do you have a Plug?

    I'm probably an outlier but I live in an apartment and I'm self employed. My current car is completely paid for and I keep my expenses fairly low considering I live in an expensive area. I'm planning to put a large amount of money down if I can stay diligent with my finances and keep the...

    Will the Model 3 support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?

    I have an iPhone and a Macbook Pro, but I really don't care either way. Apple has been pretty wack lately IMHO. As long as whatever is in there works flawlessly I'm fine with it.

    Model 3 surface care for the layman

    I'm not sure if you're being acerbic. I never said the car was two years old. It's actually 10 years old. The repainted areas from the tree impact are not the areas flaking. The valley sun is a factor in combination with my particular car (scion). I've heard it from people at bodyshops...

    Model 3 surface care for the layman

    More than likely I'll buy a stock white 3 and wrap it in silver or gunmetal carbon fiber. My current car has been having clear coat peeling off for about 2 years now just due to the California sun. Every time I wash it, it gets worse so at this point I stopped washing my car. I don't really...

    Deliveries if Elon goes bazerk?

    You're thinking way too hard about this. Worst case Elon passes along to his brother, Kimball, who is already on the board. Or maybe JB takes complete control. Or maybe his cousin Lyndon Rive (who runs SolarCity). Elon isn't the only crayon in the box. He's the brightest one without a...

    Deliveries if Elon goes bazerk?

    That tweet and the fact that he may or may not have been serious is one of the reasons he's changing the world and pushing the envelope. I wouldn't worry about it. We all know Elon has a sense of humor and sometimes can be a little wacky. That's what makes him who he is. I really think he's...

    Tesla Unveils The Model S 60 at $66K..... effects on the Model 3

    I can't afford that right now and my 3 won't be loaded so I'll wait. I'm happy they did this though. I think it will inspire some people to pull the trigger.

    Will Model 3 be your first American car?

    Nissan, Suzuki, BMW, Honda, Scion. Hell of a first American car. Just gives me more reasons to celebrate

    Pencils down in 6 weeks - Model 3 design work nearly finished

    I guess a couple of weeks ago he alluded to 6-8 weeks to complete the design. This is pretty good news depending on how complete "pencils down" refers to.

    How would you prefer to pay for Supercharging?

    Pay per use. Or monthly subscription to those who may need to use the luxury more than average.

    What will separate S from 3?

    I think the S will always continue to evolve. Though the Model 3 will be more widespread, I still will still think of the S as Tesla's signature luxury vehicle. Some new Tesla owners (like myself) may be so impressed with the 3 that they could step up to an S in the future if finances allow...

    Paintwork protection

    Depending on the color options Tesla offers, I may opt for a plain white car and just wrap it or paint it the color I want. It's not a bad idea to protect the paint but I won't lose sleep over it.

    Must-have Aftermarket Accessories

    I'm definitely gonna do a Reus sound system. Probably tint the glass and maybe some carbon fiber trimmings here and there. Other than that I'm keeping things pretty factory fresh.

    Standard Wheel/Tire Size for Model 3

    I honestly don't want any bigger than 18's on my très. I had those big rims and low profile tires in college and I was lucky I didn't die the day I had a really bad blowout on the highway. Never again.

    Fremont Factory Should be Operating at Full Speed in late 2017.......

    There are 3 sides to the coin. You can choose to be optimistic or pessimistic but in the end the truth will probably end up somewhere in between. There's a chance we may be pleasantly surprised, but there's also a chance some of us will be disappointed. I'm more on the optimistic side but...

    Model 3 Deal Breaker

    It kind of reminds me of a minimal future version of my grandfather's 57 chevy interior. No doubt some things will be added and as long as it's intuitive I'm sure I'll dig it. aka not a deal breaker for me. *This isn't a my grandfather's, btw.

    Revised Front End / Nose Model 3

    I dig it man. Personally I don't think it's bad but I do like the revision you provided. And you're right, I just thought the link would be informative. Plus, if EM guaranteed at least 215 miles of range minimum he has to deliver on it.

    Revised Front End / Nose Model 3

    Insights into the Tesla Model 3’s aero innovations and how it can achieve 215 miles of range It most definitely was designed that way for aerodynamics/range. I remember Elon requesting the revision on twitter but I'd imagine the smallest of tweaks may have an effect on drag coefficient. I...

    So what are the things that reduce range in a Tesla

    Really great and informative. Never would have known about the tire pressure. Thanks!

    So what are the things that reduce range in a Tesla

    Man...guess I'm really lucky as far as logistics go. I think if the base range is 215 like Elon said, I'll be fine with that. The only trips I plan to take will be down to SD periodically, maybe up to the Bay Area and a cross country trip to visit family. I obviously wouldn't plan to make...

    So what are the things that reduce range in a Tesla

    Thanks guys. This is really interesting stuff. I guess I should be very thankful it never really gets cold in Socal. That's interesting to see about the recommended charge and I had no idea about that either, but then again I don't own a Tesla yet.

    Had you already driven a Tesla before you ordered M3?

    One of my friends has had a Model S for a couple of years. I was impressed by everything but the sound system. It felt like a rocket ship the first time I rode in it.

    So what are the things that reduce range in a Tesla

    Hey everyone, was doing some reading last night on these forums about the < 60kwh battery and what the potential epa would be in the base Model 3. I guess the next logical question for me would be, what are the things that would potentially reduce range? I believe reading somewhere the pano...

    Cloth seats?

    As long as I have an option other than black I'm down with the cloth. The i3 interior looks beautiful in that example.

    Is anyone getting a base model?

    I'll probably get closer to base but not entirely. Depends on the paint options etc. but if needed I will spend extra on that and possibly extra battery. I plan on upgrading the audio myself after reading up on Reus systems. Other than that the car will be pretty basic. I don't need the AWD...

    If You're Reserving -what car are you coming from?

    06 Scion xB. Good on gas and comfortable. Treated me right for a long time but I'm looking forward to the 3. Probably going to take a lot more road trips in the future.

    Another audio upgrade thread

    This is awesome! I remember sitting in an associate's Model S with sound system and I don't remember being overly impressed so it's great to see this pulled off so well. I anticipate I'll be doing something similar on the 3, depending.

    POLL: Model 3 Options, what will you spend your money on?

    Quick question. Is anyone a current Tesla owner with the sound package installed? If so how do you like it? I'm an audiophile and a musician by trade so it's a huge deal to me.

    Solution to charge your Model 3 if you don't have any garage?

    I had no idea about PlugShare! Thanks a lot and I just signed up. Looks like I live smack dab in the middle of tons of charging options, but hopefully by that time I'l have a more permanent solution regardless.

    Poll: Why do you want a Tesla? [from 2016]

    It's a combination of everything. I really love Elon's push towards sustainable energy in the future. The cars are beautiful and the company seems to be constantly innovating. I bought in stock wise years ago, and thankfully was able to reserve a III on 4/1. This is just the beginning and...

    POLL: Model 3 Options, what will you spend your money on?

    Sound system and bigger battery are my top two, but also depending on the exterior paint I may go premium for that as well. Currently leaning towards a silver or matte black. I guess I could install an aftermarket sound system but I really don't want to deal with the process.
  42. Tes LA

    Solution to charge your Model 3 if you don't have any garage?

    I'm interested in this as well. I certainly plan to be moved into a house/townhouse by the time I get my III but that's not a guarantee. I would like to know if anyone has experience with this in an apartment complex.
