    Just announced. 500k cars by 2018 instead of 2020

    Remember how JFK set what many thought was an "impossible" goal. I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to earth.” - President John F. Kennedy, May 25, 1961 Eight years later, on...

    Typo I'm sure they meant 500,000

    When will it be dumb to buy a new ICE ?

    Agreed! Waiting for my M3. At 450 miles it removes almost all concerns regarding long trips.

    When will it be dumb to buy a new ICE ?

    I think you are missing the point is about time on a long drive. (Currently we are looking at 40 minutes for an 80% charge versus 5) There is nothing wrong with wanting a faster charge rate, and the next time you are waiting in line at the SC on a long trip, you will be wishing for it also...

    Has anyone else spent time calculating possible Model 3 pricing...

    Another reason why the median configured price should be lower... Model S owners by the very MSRP of the vehicle (and presumed income of the driver) are able to afford a lot more expensive options. After initial sales to Model 3 enthusiast customers, the Model 3 is aimed at a whole different...

    Has anyone else spent time calculating possible Model 3 pricing...

    For those of you that are looking to build out your Model 3 to $60k... Why wouldn't you purchase a 2014 P85 Performance now with 20k miles for less? One of the main reasons I reserved the Model 3 is the 35k price point. (I think that the majority or reservations will also be closer to the...

    Anyone get their SURPRISE in the mail yet?? (Those who were in line)

    Just received what looks like a Tesla version of a restaurant pager, that lights up when table is available. Hoping that when it starts making noise it is time to configure my Model 3 ;)

    Reserved 2nd Model 3 just 5 minutes ago

    It must be nice to know how Tesla legal will respond, and that language is fairly standard in most agreements. Simply saying that there is no guarantee that Tesla will provide "written authorization".

    If You're Reserving -what car are you coming from?

    Model 3 will take the place of my 2012 Mustang.

    How long was your wait in line? (I think we were at the slowest store..)

    Raleigh NC had three people processing reservations, and the line movedwell. Heard it was about 2.5 hours for those who were there when it opened. I went at lunch and the wait was down to 1.25 hours.

    Reserved 2nd Model 3 just 5 minutes ago

    Just wondering... Why do you think your 2nd reservation after 200,000 others have placed an order has priority over theirs? Also will be interesting since the reservations were not supposed to be transferable, how that would work.

    Do you need a positive test drive before taking delivery of your Model 3 pre-order?

    The question pertained to when "taking delivery". For those of you who said you did NOT need a test drive, I would be curious to know what New model cars you have purchased before without taking a drive in a similar model. (For example we are going to order a new Durango RT next month, but you...

    Tesla Confirms 325.000 reservations by now !

    Speaking of the stock market... The so called experts are bashing the stock today because they had unrealistic expectations for pre-order numbers that Tesla would announce today. (Another reason to stop with the numbers until it is time to configure/order.) "With nearly 200,000 orders as of...

    How many Model 3 should Tesla make the first Year? Poll

    Assuming a capacity of 500,00 per year when factory 100% operational... If Tesla can avg slightly better than 50% the first year (which would be huge 250,000)- rounded up my guesstimate from 4,807 to 5,000 per week.

    Features - What will be standard/upgrades/not available?

    I think Tesla would have a major PR problem if the Glass Roof that was a prominent feature during the reveal and rides now became an option.

    Model 3 Battery size

    Agree on a minimum of 15% Hoping for 20% given the improvement in battery technology (as in GigaFactory) between Model S and M3. So hoping base will be <50 kwh, with a 60-70 kwh option offering a huge increase in range and performance.(and assumed shorter charging time) This is the one option I...
