    For those who are a little hesitant to pull the trigger, what are some of your concerns?

    In descending order (and this is from someone who is okay to buy cars new but plans to keep them until TCO -- total cost of ownership -- becomes absurdly expensive, which haven't happened to any of my ICEV Honda's and Toyota): Whether Tesla Service Centers (including the company) will be...

    Munro Compares Tesla Model 3 Build Quality To A “Kia From The ’90s”

    At least they didn't compare the M3 to the Hyundai Pony of the 70's and 80's! Will the 2019 models (or later 2018 batches) be significant better built, not just relating to aesthetics but also using high quality vendors for critical components? Munro Compares Tesla Model 3 Build Quality To A...

    Tesla Model 3 Battery Warranty Includes 70% Retention Guarantee

    Tesla Model 3 Battery Warranty Includes 70% Retention Guarantee For up to 100,000 miles on the standard battery and up to 120,000 miles on the long-range battery. The battery retention portion of the warranty differs from that of the Model S and X. Neither of those Tesla carry a retention...

    What Driver Profiles can be set w/ FOB's(I don't own a S or X but interested in a 3)

    If you guys/gals have two FOBS, each of which is linked to two distinct driver profiles, and have every setting possible tied to the two profiles (steering wheel, side mirrors and seats positions, and other settings -- SEE BELOW), will the car adjust everything automatically as you use the...

    Tesla Model 3 Non-Employee Deliveries To Start Next Week - True or False? :)

    Tesla Model 3 Non-Employee Deliveries To Start Next Week originally from reddit: Our Non-Employee Maxed Out Model 3 is Delivering Monday!!! - VIN #2079 - it’s for my GF and she’s like a kid at Christmas! • r/teslamotors

    Do you think the Model 3's value will hold well past its four-year warranty?

    I understand over in the States, you will have the $7,500 federal tax credit and various state incentives. In my Canadian province, Ontario, for currently we have a $14k CAD after tax incentive So once these incentives are gone, expect any BEV, especially a TM3 with good demand, to hold its...

    With a mere 5% battery degradation, could it be possible that the buffer is released over time?

    Is it really possible to have that small a battery degradation over four/five years? Doesn't that kinda defy physics/chemistry? Perhaps Tesla slowly releases the capacity buffer say from 20% down to 15 then to 10%? Thoughts? It might as well supply batteries to competitors once it gets its...

    Besides beautiful, fast, cool, longer range, AP and SCN, what else is convincing you to get a 3?

    I like that: the exterior design is nice enough, it has one of the highest driving ranges it has auto emergency braking as standard there is the availability of TACC but the EAP/AP (costs and current feature set) and the SCN (it's not free for me anyway and I anticipate lengthy line ups) are...

    Besides SCN, what features (or lack of in 3 ) would make u jump ship from a 3 to a competing brand?

    I know this topic is too premature in 2017 and 18 when the Model 3 really has no competition in the performance and styling departments. People have complained on TMC about the price of add ons (i.e. not a mass market BEV but most of us knew Tesla is striving to be profitable and cash flow...

    Will labor hours and parts repair costs for the 3 eventually be significantly lower?

    It's too soon for owners to start complaining about this and that because details haven't been released by Tesla and so discussion about the 1) annual service cost (whether mandatory for the ESA) and 2) wear and tear parts/component replacements are not being discussed here. This are the...

    Are you going to lease or finance your Model 3?

    I logged into MyTesla this morning and noticed the eight year financing for the S dropped from 2.5 to 2% now. Leasing is either three or four years. For those in the know, what are the advantages of going with leasing or financing (Tesla in-house or through your own financial institutions) a...

    Any word on the 3's Extended Service Agreement (ESA)?

    For comparison: Model S and X (USA): https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/service/vehicle_extended_service_agreement_en_us.pdf To me, the details of the ESA will be the make or break decision on whether to pursue a Model 3.

    Will the winter weather package and TACC ever be offered ala carte?

    Those are the only things many of us (with a limited budget) mainly want from the PUP and EAP. Both for $3,500 instead of $10k? :) Oh Pretty Please Mr. Elon Musk? We promise to be responsible drivers and keep our hands on the steering wheel

    Exit Interview Questions for previous Tesla vehicle owners

    What are some currently unavailable features that could lead to cancelling your reservation?

    I am not talking about cancelling before the estimated delivery period but right about that time frame, and maybe then some. This question is more apt for those are used to driving luxury cars or those who are thinking a well spec'd M3 will be an up-market move. I hope no one is cancelling...

    Does the extra $2,500 deposit precede the Tesla financing approval?

    So I perused the online configuration preview available now thread and noticed that Tesla will request an additional $2,500, on top of the $1,000 reservation deposit we had placed. Our credit are good to excellent but I am a little wary to carry on with finalizing a configuration when I may not...

    Here's hoping that the July 28 event will be a complete reveal

    I know Tesla is trying to drum up interest (important for the stock price and shareholder value) and keep 99% of reservation holders but I'm getting a little tired of seeing tidbits here and there. Is Friday's reveal going to be a complete one or is it part of a few more reveal events? I don't...

    For those on the fence, how has your buying / prospecting experience been with other EVs?

    I usually don't feel the need to test drive cars I purchased in the past as they are mainstream, well-liked models such as the 8th gen Accord coupe and the refreshed RAV4 Hybrid. I am sure the Model 3 will be no different with all the positive reviews on the S. I can only tell from reading...

    Is AWD in an electric vehicle also that advantageous?

    Besides the BMW 3 Series (if at all), what other cars in the M3 price range (if not, $10k more) will be offered in AWD? Why two-motor hybrid systems are better than those with just one Josh D • 10 hours ago Another point some might find confusing is that the two motor benefit, basically only...

    What is Tesla basing the geographic prioritization on?

    Is it based on the credit card billing address information we provided for the initial deposit?

    Anyone got the Extended Service Agreement (ESA) and getting the run around?

    Anyone got the brush off for things not specifically listed or alluded to in the ESA? I had read Section F on Exclusions and it looks somewhat fair to me, with not a lot of word magic. Just wondering if it's something worthwhile getting for a Model 3 produced by a relatively young company, not...

    Question for car guys/gals, why did you dump your ICE vehicle for a Tesla?

    What would make you cancel your Model 3 Reservation?

    For myself, I wanted AWD but I will opt for RWD if it means I can be sure to avail of our provincial EV incentive of about $10k USD that could disappear if the opposition gets elected in June 2018. Definitely not going to cancel my reservation until after the production models roll off the...

    Why are you waiting for the Model 3 instead of getting a CPO Model S?

    I've seen a few posts on TMC about how some used older production year model Model S are selling for $45k or maybe even less. I'm from Canada, so resale values of EVs, especially Tesla's, are not as cheap. There's only 25 Tesla's for sale in my province and the lowest two are $45 and 48k USD...

    What do you see are the advantages of the Model 3 over future competitors?

    Any Upcoming BEVs with AWD besides the Germans?

    Looks like most Japanese car makers are making an about face with Toyota, Honda and even Mazda announcing they will be producing BEVs by 2019/20. The Germans are at it too with BMW and MB likely taking the lead with VW very much behind promising something by 2025. With AWD, I understand that...

    For those whose cars are out of warranty, what are the typical problems and associated costs?

    It is interesting to note that there is no subforum under each of Tesla's models to speak about defect, issues and costs to service the vehicles. I too am very interested in the Model 3 (and did put a reservation deposit down) but am interested to find out now that some of the 2012 models have...
