    Romance mode playlist?

    Thanks, I see it under romance. The playlist is genius. This is probably my favorite round of Easter eggs - all of them are so much fun and poll position is totally addicting

    Long startup times

    Sometimes when I get into my car the touch screen is off and everything is unresponsive. Shifting into drive doesn't do anything, tapping on the touch screen doesn't do anything, stepping on the brake doesn't do anything. This afternoon the situation resolved itself after a minute of tapping...

    Loving phone instead of FOB

    The best part is not wasting my life searching for keys or losing them when they fall out of my pocket on the couch. Even with a tile, we were running up and down the stairs to find our key fobs.

    Loving phone instead of FOB

    Read a lot of horror stories about using your phone as a key so I expected glitches. It has been absolutely flawless so far and I love it - I've got an iPhone X. I'm still in the habit of patting my leg for my key and have a moment of panic thinking I forgot my key.

    What am I missing? Serious question.

    The only one of the cons listed that's objective is fit and finish - wish it was better but the overall subjective experience >>> IMO. Agree on the turn signal, but that's also subjective. I actually don't understand why people like floaty rides, but they obviously prefer it because BMW has...

    Any issues? Ours is 974xx - curious how rushed out that day's batch was.

    Okay. Got the email to schedule delivery WOOHOO! How long now for VIN?

    Does anyone have any information about all the delivery emails? Seems like almost everyone waiting got a delivery email for end of quarter push. Are they just scheduling all deliveries and then doing the production? Is this their way of handling delivery bottlenecks?

    Red - paint quality issues

    "Sorry, we’ve put pretty extreme rules in place for paint & quality in general. If need be, we’re repainting/replacing entire sections of car or building whole new cars. Got to be done." The good news is it's on their radar and future builds should have better quality. I'm happy to get my car a...

    86% of June Model 3s "reworked"

    I'm a huge Elon fan, but one of the problems with him starting a war with the press is it creates more incentives for them to write crap like this. It seems like the frequency of Linette Lopez hit pieces has gone up and are even more sensationalist than before. Even though I think she's an...

    Should I Trade In My 2017 Model S 75 for an AWD Model 3?

    I may be in the minority, but I’d take a 3 series over a 5 series every time. Just like the size and driving feel of a 3 series much more than the boat feeling of a 5 series.

    Maintenance for Pearl White color and Midnight silver.

    Same experience on our white X. Maybe I haven't had a black car in awhile, but I feel like there is dirt on the car after a few days. Still looks good from a distance, however.

    Do any of you guys do this?

    I've only test driven the Model 3, but I found myself wanting to lower the steering wheel really far so that it wan't even in my field of view and all I had was windshield in front of me. Felt like driving a spaceship. I test drove it like that for awhile, and then it felt a little weird so I...

    White interior available for AWD /nonP

    FWIW, I think the black interior looks better on the red from outside the car but the feeling you get inside the car is unbelievable with the white interior (we have it on the X).

    Don't have AP2 but I still find it amazing that Tesla keeps adding great features to the car. Love the new Homelink feature - didn't love having to stop in front of my garage and hit the button before.

    0 to 60 uncork

    August 2016 delivery 13xxx that just got back from the 1 year service and I'm pretty sure we got uncorked. Car feels faster, but I'm not sure if it's because we just got back from a week long vacation driving a Jeep and I saw the Elektrik post or if it's actually faster. Also got the camper...

    Will L5 FSD be possible with Model 3's AP 2.5 hardware?

    I've thought about this a lot because most of the tech community thinks you need LIDAR. However, given Elon's first principles approach, I think he thinks about it like this: "humans drive with only 2 eyes, we have way more cameras and radar so we should be able to exceed a human level of safety...

    Tesla Q3 2017 Vehicle Deliveries and Production

    1. Ramps and S curves are often not linear 2. Tesla is way ahead of their estimates last year, yet somehow expectations are changed and everyone and the press is upset at a slower ramp that still blows away expectations set last March.

    What is your primary reason for wanting to own a Model 3?

    Top is combination of performance and looks. Very closely behind is technology and last reason is it's good for the environment but I would never buy an EV without looks and performance (Bolt or Leaf)

    Do you guys engage autopilot at lights?

    I rode with my wife the other day and I noticed she engaged autopilot as we approached an intersection and I freaked out a little bit and told her how autopilot doesn't recognize traffic lights and she shouldn't use it going through intersections. She gave me this annoyed look and I realized...

    How often do you charge?

    I'm super lazy and plug it in only when I know I don't have enough range for the next day. TBH, part of the reason for the larger battery pack is to charge less frequently. If it's really better for the battery I may consider charging more frequently.

    To Long Range or Not to Long Range...

    I own a 75d X and I've come to the conclusion that slightly more than 300 miles of range is perfect. You're not charging to 100%, the last 20-30 miles isn't really usable as you start getting range anxiety there, and, if you're like me, you don't want to putz around at 60mph and want to at least...

    Suspension / Ride Quality / Handling - Too firm or Just Right?

    I know most folks want more of a comfort ride in their vehicles, but I find that Motor Trend tends to value what I do - fast acceleration, handling and sporty rides (old 3 series and Infiniti G35's). It seems most manufacturers have gone away from the harsher rides because they're not very...

    So the options came in a little pricier than expected

    I'm fine with black but didn't expect the base wheel option would be Aero. Full self-driving and premium puts you in almost the 65k range.

    So the options came in a little pricier than expected

    I think the standard is just a little too small for us. 220m means effectively 190 when charged up to 90%, then you really never go below 20 because it's a little sketchy so you have 170 miles of usable range and it drops really quickly in cold weather. Left my house with a 90m estimate once in...

    So the options came in a little pricier than expected

    I was hoping for a larger battery D version, white interior, with autopilot for right around 50k with 55k being the upperbound and 42k after incentives, which would be reasonable. 35k base + 7k battery + 5k D upgrade + 3k autopilot. With Ludicrous being around 65k. I think the battery came in...

    Model 3 interior

    How do you open the door from the inside? Doesn't look like there is anything to pull?
  41. U

    Most likely the configuration I'd order. Maybe even 2.

    I may have just been on the X forums too frequently during initial production ramp up but the panel gaps on these pics is brutal. Car looks sexy in that color, though.

    Model X stealing the thunder from Model 3

    Have to disagree - it makes the car feel extra airy and open. Like someone said, it's really noticeable when you drive other cars, even an S. I love the model 3 looks and size but I really don't want to lose the windshield. Oh, you also see the coolest cloud formations - I find myself looking...

    Model 3 Mule Sightings

    Kind of disappointed in how the LCD looks. Was hoping it was a prototype and that they'd build it into the dash so that it looks like a part of the car (similar to the MX prototype and actual) instead of a 3rd party GPS.

    Loaded cars produced first...

    I don't think it's that surprising. In the past they produced the loaded cars first to make as much money as possible after production tooling and ramp, so Elon just assumed they'd do the same. Then they hire Peter Hochholdinger to help with the M3 ramp and he sets them straight and turns a...

    HUD ("Heads Up Display") Discussion

    How do they intend to do AP w/ one screen? The cars around you and the lane markers go a long way in trusting auto pilot and being prepared for when to take over the wheel. Also, it really helps when parking or driving through tight areas..you hear the chimes and watch the front cluster.

    There is no Beta Model 3 - confirmed today by Elon

    The thing about Tesla and Elon is they're always over optimistic and late. 100k cars delivered this year became 80k cars and then 76k cars. Probably won't need to do a raise became a we should do a raise for safety. The original Tesla Energy ramp was estimated at December of last year and...
