I know only one station is being used, but this still upsets me.

By second wave of owners, you mean sometime in 2019, right? Because I'm pretty sure that's when they'll be done with all the reservations for Model 3. Personally, I'm happy with the "most likely" delivery date of Q4 2017 that Elon Musk gave for those that pre-ordered pre-reveal and 2018 for...

Cupcakes and gravy?

A user over at Reddit noticed two Tesla service techs with a weird device in the frunk that uses some kind of green liquid. My interest is peaked! Tesla Mules pics with unknown Equipment. • /r/teslamotors Any ideas on what it could be?

It shows up on the interactive website map located under "Find Us" for me.

I'm pretty sure Elon or someone from Tesla is following this thread and is laughing at how hard we're trying to figure out the pattern.

Maybe the number is in numerical order, but in relation to total of all Tesla vehicle reservations?

There's no way that this is correct if it is supposed to be numerical and I highly doubt it would be correct if it based on your actual position in the the queue. Mine starts with 37xxxx and I had mine preordered about 10 minutes after 10am CST on 3/31. I'm really curious what it means though.

Sorry, I was referring to the Model 3 part 2 event invite. Probably should have been a little more clear. :P

YES! I doubt it will happen though just because that would be tens of thousands of people, but it would be nice :)

I was only in the area for a week visiting friends and family, so I'm not sure of the current status and I don't think anyone here is local to the area unfortunately :(

It's going to happen, it just may not be soon. Tesla has a lot more on their plate right now that does not include manufacturing/finding suppliers for over 10,000 appreciation gift sets. We just need to be patient.

I did not notice a transformer, but to be honest I didn't really look. That's probably the reason though.

Pictures were taken earlier today. Looks like they're done, but maybe they're waiting on the hotel to be finished before they go live or have some minor things to finish?

If there is a HUD, then it will be standard. Musk wouldn't have said "that wasn't the real steering system" otherwise. Who makes a steering system optional?

The only way I would consider a Chevy Bolt, is if it was temporary while I was waiting on my Model 3. There are two main reasons for this. The first being that the Model 3 is an overall better car at a lower starting price than the Chevy Bolt. More range, faster 0-60 MPH time, attractive...

Well I didn't mean right away. :P I'll wait a few years until Musk makes it suitable for us to live on Mars, or at least part of it. This is awesome and hilarious lol

I want a trip to Mars with my Model 3. Who else can say they drove a car in space, let alone one of the best cars ever made?

I don't have permission to view :(

Mine has the date it was ordered, but not the time. " What's Next? Your Model 3 was reserved on 3/31/2016. You'll be invited to configure based on the date of your reservation. "

I believe the Model Y will be announced in part 2 of the Model 3 unveil or close to it. It is using the same platform as the Model 3 and therefore a majority of the parts are going to be the same. They also have to announce it before the new Roadster in 2019 and I'm pretty they would also want...

He did know that it could be done, he even said the same factory could potentially produce one million cars a year by 2020. The key factor here is cost and time. When the number of pre-orders for the car is over 3x the amount you originally expected, you have to and can afford to speed up...

Are you sure? I may have missed it, but I was pretty sure he was referring to anyone that reserved the car now and not just future/current S and X owners.

Actually, Elon made it very clear that that amount of cars will be produced by end of 2017, not delivered. While not stated, one big reason of this is likely so more customers can take advantage of the federal tax credit.

He also said as of now, he roughly expects about 100,000 to 200,000 vehicles to be produced by the end of 2017 and even if you order a Model 3 now, you have a very high chance of getting one in 2018.

I was 16 in line at the Kansas City location. I'm fairly certain that I'll get the full tax credit, but I probably will not utilize the full amount. I have never had to pay $7,500 in federal income taxes and don't plan on having to unless I get a big pay increase between now and then.

Not sure if serious. I believe Tesla will rapidly increase production plans considering the current amount of Model 3's reserved is over 3x their original expected amount. After Part 2 and early deliveries start taking place, I would not be surprised if that number is closer to 1 million. This...

Um, that's a workout class website.

This has already been posted in the Future Cars forum.

Considering Tesla was using a 56kWh battery for the Roadster and it got over 240 miles of range, I think we can expect a 50kWh or less sized battery. Even though the roadster is smaller, it also had a much higher drag coefficient and was using older battery technology.

"This item might not exist or is no longer available."

Depends on how much I can afford at that time. I want to get the dual motors and that awesome roof, but I wouldn't have a problem spending more on a bigger battery depending on the 0-60 time. This ismy realistic dream car and my plan is to have this car for about 10 years, so I'm not afraid to...

While true, they still are not what I would consider conventional door handles, nor do I believe they are what Luke42 had in mind when he said it.

I actually bought one of these about four years ago and just put it on my car about two months ago lol. Unfortunately, it looks like they don't sell them anymore :(

Nope, just have to be patient :)

While I see your point, Tesla would never go for conventional door handles due to aerodynamics. This is the same reason the S and X have flat door handles while driving.

I'm sure a very similar meeting actually happened at GM lol

Truly amazing fan made commercial. We're getting so close to a fossil fuels free future and it's exciting.

After the Y is the new Roadster, which is due in 2019. We probably won't see gen 4 until 2025 if I had to guess.

I don't see the problem here.

Thanks for pointing that out :) I don't normally travel to other forums other than the Model 3, so I wasn't sure where exactly to put it. So does Tesla still own the superchargers and are just leasing/purchasing the space, or does the hotel own them and just have some kind of agreement with Tesla?

If airplanes become fully autonomous, I'm sure air traffic controllers would be able to send instructions directly to the plane without the need of a flight crew. That or someone within the airline company that would be responsible for managing everything on the plane remotely.

Sorry, I did a search before I posted it, but I didn't find your thread for some reason. :/

If it was equipped to be fully autonomous and proven reliable, sure. Especially since there are air traffic controllers that are monitoring the planes and air traffic space.

Just found out that a new Tesla Supercharger station is being setup in Alexandria, LA (central Louisiana). Considering it's my hometown, I am pretty excited :D I'm surprised it'll be at a hotel though, has Tesla setup any other superchargers (not destination chargers) at hotel locations before...

While this could be a great feature to have for the current state of Auto Piolt, it does not have long term value considering Tesla's vision is to have completely anonymous cars and therefore would not be much of a safety issue if you fell asleep.

Why would I not want matte paint? Scratches?

I'm torn between the orange the matte black shown at the unveil.
