    Unhappy with the Resale value for my 2019 Model 3

    I’ve got a 2018 M3 LR RWD with FSD and 15k miles and Tesla offered $44.5k trade in for it. Carvana is offering $49.2k, still waiting on a vroom offer. Paid about 60k total between around 55k for the car and then 5k for AP/FSD during the 2019 half off sale. Looking at getting a 7 seat MY early...

    Vendor 3D Maxpider 10% off When ordering Frunk and Trunk w/ Interior mats!

    Any updates? I saw the label created in my ups account, but looks like it hasn't gone out yet. I imagine there will be a lot of us out of town and traveling around Christmas, so I'm hoping it comes this week.

    Long range 3 has 48A charger!

    Seems weird that the spec sheet wouldn't give the max charging rate, but I hope it can charge at 48A in case I decide on HPWC instead of using the UMC or my Juicebox 40A that I have right now for my Leaf.

    I don't know, even this guy probably doesn't want cold hands:

    Is there anything left to speculate about?

    You won't need to see out the windshield as the car will be driving itself. As long as the cameras and sensors can see you will be fine.

    Is there anything left to speculate about?

    Drain it completely for the weight savings and range gain, obviously. Plus rip out and throw away anything involved with wiper fluid, including tank, tubing, etc. Anyone who doesn't isn't serious about EVs.

    Model 3 Dashboard... What are we looking at?

    I'd be okay with that. I've got plenty of extra hex keys from previous Ikea purchases laying around. I mean, they've gotta cut corners somewhere to make a $35k car, right? I just hope there aren't any cam lock nuts involved. I hate those damn things.

    What if no Model 3?

    Used Model S can be found in that price range, and you will probably be able to get one with AP in the near future I bet. If I could get a used AP Model S for under 45k, that would be extremely compelling to me.

    What colors have been seen on production 3's so far?

    Gray, black, white, blue, silver, red, signature red (potentially) Tesla Model 3 spotted with a new color: Gray

    What if no Model 3?

    I would keep my 2013 Leaf until something else more appealing came along. Not interested in the Bolt, or the updated Leaf as it looks about the same as the current gen. I guess maybe something from BMW or Audi once they have a decent long range EV (and not the hideous i3).

    Model 3 interior

    When people say vinyl they generally mean PVC and it is pretty nasty stuff, especially when you put all the additives in it to keep it from having issues like cracking. Softex is a completely different polymer, made from polyurethanes as you said. Just because something else is also a synthetic...

    So what do you do next Friday though when there are 0 days left? No wine left for reveal day? Is that when you pull out the beer/liquor/champagne?

    [POLL] Will base model M3 beat the Chevy Bolt's 238 mile EPA range?

    Until they can get a pickup truck that can go 0-60 in 3-4 seconds. At least sub 5. Will make the F150 Raptor look like a child's toy. :p

    Model 3 referral program?

    Seems like they could keep the program but cut rewards/discounts in half. Hopefully a Model 3 owner can at least refer others to get an S/X. Cutting the 3 out of the program will make 3 owners feel even more like 2nd class citizens.

    [POLL] Will base model M3 beat the Chevy Bolt's 238 mile EPA range?

    I think he said something to the effect of that's all that the configurator will be. I think most have taken that to mean that things like bigger battery (rumored) and glass roof (all we've seen so far, listed as an option on tesla.com/compare) will be what they make first. So just because color...

    Regular silver has been seen quite a bit. Unless you're talking about midnight silver aka gray, which would be a first I think.

    Tax Credit Clarification

    It's probably earlier in this thread somewhere, but if you look at line 47 of your 1040 forms over the last few years then that should give you an estimate of your tax liability. If you want to be really specific, you could fill out the 8936 form to get a more exact number. I think you end up...

    Radio Flyer Tesla MS for Kids

    What do you get with this code? Free accessories or anything? Is it basically just $500 off (base cost), so any extra options or whatever I would pay for? Is there anything special about the Founders Edition? Does it come with free shipping or is that extra?

    Sub 5 sec 0-60 time (Speculation)

    Agreed. Also, the biggest differentiator between the S/X and 3 right now, and probably for the next year or more, is that if you want a car now-ish you can buy the S/X. A fast 3 doesn't threaten the sales of S/X that much at the moment.

    I'm an optimist so I'm saying yes.

    Real Steering Controls for the Model 3

    All he said was the steering controls feel like a spaceship. So you just make them out of the same materials and give them the same texture. Then they feel the same.

    Color of SN1?

    It will be covered in solar panels, so no paint needed.

    Model 3 wheel Patents are complete. Which one would you choose?

    Well, it's just a design patent for the look of a wheel. Doesn't really specify how they work, if it will be in production, etc.

    Glass roof as an option?

    The comparison page here (Compare Model S and Model 3 | Tesla) says the glass roof is optional.

    I'm curious to know latest reservation number

    Initially the reservation numbers appeared to be random, so I assume it's still the same way. Won't get any info from recent numbers I'm afraid.

    Any new info about the California Sales Tax?

    They talked at one point about doing more than just the batteries at the GF for the model 3. Like the whole drivetrain or something, maybe? Could be for further down the road though.

    I'd hold out for more than that. I've heard they have tens of millions in oil money they are trying to transfer out of the country all the time.

    Getting interesting... BMW 3-Series EV

    Yeah, and "stick batteries in X" was what they tried to do. Then they ended up redoing the whole car practically. Maybe they should have just started from the ground up with a low volume weird car that most people didn't see the point of and learning how to implement these new technologies...

    Getting interesting... BMW 3-Series EV

    People probably said similar things about Tesla developing the Roadster. When you are learning new technologies, you have to start somewhere. Now BMW has knowledge of carbon fiber and how to make a car with it. Same for batteries, though not at higher battery sizes. And it's good to start with...

    When will we know the specs for the P-AWD Model 3?

    Rumors have pointed towards the larger battery being the only one available at launch, but nothing confirmed that I know of. Might also need to pay for the glass roof option if you want an early one, as I believe all RCs have had that.

    IIRC, I think a few have had the kill switch button down closer to where the cup holders and stuff are. Can't remember if those were earlier or later ones.

    Did Tesla make a weirdmobile? Comparison 3 BMW 3 dash

    I guess the problem with the screen on the Model 3 is that you either (a) move the screen down some to integrate it into the dash since it's currently sticking up over top the dash at least a few inches or more OR (b) move the entire dash up and lose some windshield/visibility out the front. Is...
