    SOLUTION - How to pay for the EV tax credit!

    Seems as if the sense of entitlement is profound in SoCal. Seriously !!!

    New EV prices post-$7500 tax credit

    Historically, car prices tend to go up. But, it is possible.....maybe!
  3. CarlitoDoc

    GOP tax reform bill would end the $7500 EV tax credit (and other tax related grousing and grumbling)

    At the risk of getting "pounded" here: How bad is it if the "Federal Tax Credit" gets revoked? Wont that level the playing field that ICE companies (although most of them are heading towards EV or Hybrids anyway) complain about all the time?? Incentives will always be seen as a form of...

    Highest production VIN in the wild

    Blog Model 3 Owner Shows Off Autopark Feature

    Ok, that's cool, unfortunately it will be old technology in 2-3 years when the M3 is actually available in decent numbers.

    CPO model x

    Hello! Quick question: So I try to keep track of CPO pricing for the Model S & X, as I am tempted by getting a "bigger" car later next year (rather than a new Model 3 LR with AWD). Looking at cars like this one : CPO'd P85D (85 kWh Performance Model S 5YJSA1H29FFP68166 | Tesla), I am...

    To Those That Have Seen Model 3 in Person - Better Looking than the S?

    Finally saw one at the Tesla Factory (actually I saw 3, 2 white ones and a gray one). To be fair, it is a nice looking car, definitely looks "narrower" when compared to the Model S. It is long, longer than you think. Proportions are good, but proportions on the Model S are spectacular, and...

    Anyone drive Hwy1 from CA to WA?

    Currently taking a family road trip and using 101 from Newport, OR to San Francisco. Some observations: 1. Driving an ICE, but since I will own a Tesla in the future, I have been keeping an eye for charging stations on our frequent stops. Have not seen that many to be honest, the Mall in...

    Model S looks $30,000 better, at least ;)

    There is one objective advantage the 3 has over the S and X

    If this is about the HUD, that horse has been beaten to death multiple times and then some. Also the Prius is uglier than the Camry, good luck with that one.

    There is one objective advantage the 3 has over the S and X

    The camry is super UGLY ! and boring. so go ahead "go places" with your Toyota

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

    If I read it correctly, yes. But I am not a Tesla owner, so I would defer that answer to someone who's actually used the ESA.

    How Does Tesla Handle Trade-ins

    I'll probably sell my TDi before I purchase the M3. I do have a question that I have not yet seen on the posts: Referral codes for Model 3 do not apply correct?

    autopilot on snow

    Pretty sure AP (1 or 2) and snow is not a good combo, but what do I know....I do not own a Tesla (yet!).

    [Speculation] Production 18" Wheels without Aero Cover

    It's proven that appropriate season tires make a huge difference. Even if you're a "disciplined" driver, most other morons out there are not. We are also talking about a RWD model, so snow tires would be more helpful than a car with Front Wheel drive.

    [Speculation] Production 18" Wheels without Aero Cover

    Boy, I wish you had a choice to pick "winter" (snow) tires for the 18" wheels. That would make it easier to get a nice set of "summer wheels". I understand this only applies to those of us in northern latitudes though :(

    Cost to recharge Model 3

    Actually I hope I'm wrong, lots of folks cant afford EVs (for now) and a rise in gas prices would place a huge burden on their household budgets. A couple of my assistants drive over 40 miles (roundtrip) a day to come to work, on top of that they own huge SUVs.....so, you get the point.

    Cost to recharge Model 3

    Look at the world we live in, current gas prices are likely to rise in the future. I recall a time not to long ago when I had to pay almost $5 for premium. Point is, don't assume gas will stay cheap.

    Front License Plate

    In WA it is required. Had a "show-n-go" license plate mount on my old S5, but this time, I will probably risk the tickets.

    Poll: 81% of Prospective Model 3 Owners Say They Won’t Pay Upfront For Full Self-Driving

    Do not hold your breath for anything that is tied to "government regulation", especially in the current "Toxic" political environment. FSD will happen, but not now. That is my two cents.

    Model 3 Width

    love the width of the car. Will certainly be more comfy than my wife's Audi A3.

    Will you buy Enhanced Autopilot on your 3 at purchase?

    I know it's been asked before, but without EAP, the car still has side assist (warning), basic (referred in this forum as "dumb") cruise control and Automated Emergency Braking right?

    Cost to recharge Model 3

    Whether you "pre pay" for maintenance, or purchase a vehicle with "free" maintenance (I can assure you its bundled in the price of the car), you will stay pay to "maintain" your car. My point was that with less moving parts/fluids, costs "should" be lower. I hope that is the case.

    Mandatory Autopilot Training + Refresher Training?

    Here is my two cents: In Germany, getting a driver's license is a "privilege" and it comes at great cost and with lots of "training" (and if you screw up....its gone for good). In many other countries (including the US), getting a driver's license is just a right of passage, and happens after...

    Model 3's Produced Per Day?

    every other day.....but yes

    Cost to recharge Model 3

    I live in WA. Power is cheap. But that was never the issue. I honestly believe that the savings come from less "service" costs (i.e., oil, filters, and maintenance in general).
