Took delivery three days ago and I'm as happy as can be. Great car. No issues significant enough to make me want to complain. Only annoying thing is arriving after a nice long drive and having to exit and leave the car parked.

Color preference tends to vary by region for some reason. In Europe, black is the most popular color for Model 3 by quite a substantial margin. The first thing I noticed in Californian traffic was the high percentage of white cars. I ordered my Model 3 in black. Classic European move.

U sure those are Model 3? I can't tell. The picture shows ro/ro car carrier Opal Ace. To my knowledge that one was last seen at pier 80 in May 2018, probably shipping Model S and X to non EU international markets.

Older picture. Most likely not Model 3, definitely wrong ship.

The Glovis Captain is now docking at Pier 80 in San Francisco where Tesla is reportedly staging vehicles for shipping. No idea how fast they will be loading but theoretically it can be done in a few hours. The remaining question is whether the Glovis Captain will head to Europe or China. I'm...

The car that hit you is one weird looking Tesla. I'd almost say it's not a Tesla but as we all know from reading news, only a Tesla will hit stationary objects.

There's no wire. It's the neural net watching you through the cabin camera getting tired of you fumbling with the console lid.

Congrats. Will you pay 1000 $ extra for a wedding dress in multi-coat white or just go with black?

Guessing ... bring your own barbecue.

Corporate Communications. Guess I'm just here because I like words and sentences and there are new ones every day.

Deutsche Post DHL

Fair point. I did hear before that traditional manufacturers provide better service in hell.

Can confirm this for Switzerland. I guess all of LHD Europe got pushed to 2019. This comes as a surprise to me as I thought they would try to get out as many LR PUP cars early and therefore at some point favor international markets over domestic SR non PUP sales.

Ugh, that alcantara headliner is sooo 2017.

Missing the option "I'm so desperate I might knit myself a pair of alcantara wing mirror covers." (You know, there's always a missing option. It's the law.)

As a communications professional I think Tesla just underestimated how important the headliner material is to some people or how much people feel screwed over by a change in material. They probably thought people wouldn't care that much. And sure, many won't. But some do and they make themselves...

Red German license plates always begin with a zero though. Also it's definitely not the same plate as on the one spotted in Bavaria shortly before. Because of this and because Norway isn't exactly around the corner from Bavaria, I'm thinking maybe Tesla operates a small fleet of test vehicles in...

If I'm not mistaken, European trucks are about the same height, but can be longer and way heavier than US trucks. So I don't think the gray one is designated for the European market. They are probably just two test beds to evaluate different versions and options.

It's mandatory in some regions. Cars with bright headlights have to adjust the front headlights automatically and they need headlight washers. For not so bright cars it's sufficient to adjust the light manually.

I consider myself a hardcore tesla fanboy and I agree with @Phrixotrichus. While the interior concept is great, lots of details are somewhat sub-class. Maybe one league below, not several. And I find it especially true around the back seats. My current car is less expensive than the Model 3 but...

No, this one looks like a fairly new brothel. There's still lots of things I don't like about the Lambo interior. I guess I'm just not a fan of Italian interior design and the Model S prototype dash looks very italian, like Alfa Romeo where you have to stare into a long tube to see the...

Good luck placing him on the center console for the next step. Model 3 hast so much legroom, the sensor actually is at ass height..

Not really thrilled about that trend. If there's one thing much less convenient than carrying a wallet it's holding your dog against the B pillar every time you want to unlock your car.

Seriously? It's so over the top with all that suede and stitching. Like one of those older sports cars that still look nice on the outside but like an old brothel on the inside. I find the production S and X to be much more modern than the prototypes. To each his own.

There are some minor issues but I'd say they are acceptable. Sometimes cars that have been produced for years have slight panel issues. Note that panel gaps are usually wider around doors, hoods and trunk hatches, while bumper panel gaps are fairly narrow. So the differences in the encircled...

Toyota probably had excess production capacity of their own. It was a difficult time for the whole industry back then.

Pretty sure it looks good on the orange Model 3 ... oh wait ... maybe a yellow one ... darn!

That would make it so much more comfortable to put your feet up on the steering wheel and relax while autopilot does the work.

Plot twist: AWD Model 3 has an electric motor integrated into each wheel. What you see is a part of the new open transmission. This setup allows for easy lubrication as well as fast conversion of RWD to AWD and vice versa. It also allows Model 3 customers in cold parts of the world to more...

It is weird because that camouflaged car just looks a lot like a Panamera. But if they used a Panamera body as a disguise why would they change so many details like creases in door panels? Doesn't make sense either.

Yo there's a big shiny T at the center. It'll burn your eyes out when you casually drive away from explosions. Having now looked at car interior pictures for half an hour i can't help thinking how weird steering wheels look in general. Crazy to have such an atrocity in a modern car. I want a...

I was referring to Volvo. In their June/July announcements they talked about "electrifying" their cars with a range from light hybrids to BEVs. Back then they also talked about "electrified" cars with their newly announced Polestar brand. But you're right of course, now with the announcement of...

We will see.

I think they deliberately play with the wording "electric car". Just look at the title and text of their July press release.

Pretty sure this is not a Panamera body but the actual production Mission E design. Just look at the concept car. That was nothing near a production design. It had no hood, no trunk, weirdly hinged full sized suicide doors, incomplete lighting. A flashy show car, nothing else.

They didn't. They just said all their future cars would be electrified. I think they even mentioned mild hybrids.

They should consider factory tint for international markets. I would gladly pay for it

Yeah, analog radio is already or soon to be dead in Europe. But the US doesn't have DAB (terrestrial digital broadcast), so I guess FM is there to stay for a little bit longer. What can we expect in regards of DAB+ radio in Model 3? Do European Model S and X have it?

Probably just pair programming.

Batches, tail lights and number plates are silly ICE leftovers. What we need is one central non-trunk-lid-integrated display.

Kinda agree you have to be a fanboy to have been impressed by the event. The car though, totally different story. I bought and am driving a European car in that price range. What the Model 3 offers is extremely compelling from the base model up to the fully optioned vehicle. Also, in my opinion...

Probably a European/CET thing.

As extremely early reservation holders I think we should get priority. In fact I want Elon's car.

It says "reserved on 31/12/1969" in MyTesla page. No kidding. But then again, it sure feels like waiting for that long.

Interesting, but I'm the complete opposite. Never had an analog watch and it takes me more time to read an analog display. I have to convert it, much like a foreign currency. In fact I often just engage cruise control in my car just because it then shows me the speed as a number. I'm very much...

The precious seconds it takes with almost every car available today.

ISOFIX in frunk not working with all child seat makes and models.

Probably not speakers. They could be anchor points for child seats, covered with some plastic cap.

Glad I couldn't afford a roadster in 2010 and therefore had to invest in TSLA at IPO day. Sad I sold most of the stock at prices way lower than where they are today.
