    Can't use AP when wife is in car

    AP will never work unless every car on the road is using and doing the same with AP. I’ve been in the airline industry for over 20 years and commercial airlines and ATC still can’t figure it out and planes exit and enter the airspace on the same routes and airspeeds - ATC intervenes all the...

    Model 3 or cheap Bolt?

    FIFY...Bolt or cheap Model 3 that might not start and will try to kill you with the shitty AP that only works on straight roads in 75 degree temps in Nebraska with no other cars or cows around for miles?

    So easy...a sixteen year old can figure out how to operate a Model 3

    The car was intuitive? So it drove like a car? I was worried the 3 wouldn’t drive like a normal vehicle.

    Venting about future steering wheel

    You get what you pay for - the 3 is an economy car. People on this board are delusional thinking the Model 3 is in the same class as Audi and BMW when it comes to luxury and features.

    Would you like to see better use of the 15" display?

    I have one - put the fricking screen in the driver’s FOV.

    Tesla Model 3 First Drive Reviews

    Sat on the charger 16 times?! My Accord would have to refueled five times to travel 2,000 miles

    Lowering the Model 3

    Model S is doable but the 3 is a chick car and won’t have the same impact.

    no drill license plate holders

    If your state requires a front plate then the state is required to supply the hardware for a front plate. There is no need to purchase a bracket. And in Texas all you have to do is place the front plate on dash and carry the registration if you don’t want to mount the plate.

    Might order my 3 soon, very begrudgingly.

    Send me a PM if you want a 3. I have a day one reservation and will sell to highest bidder

    Losing enthusiasm for Model 3

    The more I look at the 3 the more it comes across as a chick car.

    How slow would I have to drive...

    So to maximize the potential of this car I have to drive it on flat roads during early summer in Nebraska.

    Leaving car with valet

    Some kid is not going to take a joy ride in an economy electric car with no interior features. You have nothing to worry about dropping off your electric Mazda 3.

    Might order my 3 soon, very begrudgingly.

    Do what I did. I’m a day one reservation holder and I’m selling my car to a buyer who wasn’t able to reserve a 3 on day one. I’m making a nice profit selling my reservation. And there is no way I’ll pay over $40,000 for a generic looking economy car like the 3

    I am now planning to get the full self-driving option and here is why

    I think most people drive a car for the experience. If you don’t want to drive, then why not Uber?

    It’s more of a f=ma thing

    Exit Experience?

    I was told if you cancel within a year of placing the reservation then your CC with get refunded. However, more than a year and you get a check.

    Cancelling my reservation

    I haven’t canceled my reservation but probably will because I need a car now and can’t wait until the end of the year after Tesla moved my day one reservation down the road again. Anyway my concern is with the maintenance issues and the lack of qualified mechanics and the time it takes to get a...

    Texas Hold Up!

    If you want to see a Model 3 just go to the Tesla shop outside of Love Field. And if you buy a 3 from California you will pay tax to register the car in a Texas.

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

    Round is slightly more aerodynamic than flat? You don't say. I guess Boeing should make slightly round nose cones on aircraft.

    Autopilot Question

    Those white pavement markers are pretty standard throughout the country so not sure how AP is going to workout unless all lane markers are changed to yellow or white paint.

    Does anyone hear the COWBELL?

    If there were no copy cats or cheaters then we'd still be driving the Model T. Some of you doppy Tesla bots need to understand by the time you read about the latest technology the industry is already woking on something better. And Tesla is not the only car maker in this world so lighten up...

    Why did you cancel your Model 3 reservation?

    i didn't cancel my reservation but will buy and sell the car to a friend of mine after he decides what options he wants. I can't wait two or three years for a car, just bad timing, and it also came down to the number of service stations and the volume of new cars these service stations will...

    Will you sell your new Model 3 for a profit?

    I have a gentleman who want's to give me a little extra for my car. I need a car next year and can't wait until 2018 at best, then deal with service stations and high insurance - not worth it to me. I'll sell him the car and take the $3500 he is offering me.

    Will you be able to sleep in the back of a Model 3?

    I was thinking about having poker tournaments in the 3. Do you think it will be big enough for a table and five players?

    Model 3 and auto insurance

    It's the repair cost that drives up the price of insurance for electric cars. A quick google search and insurance for elective vehicle is 20% higher.

    Model 3 Mule Musings

    I think all this early advertising is the point - generate interest and generate more cash to produce the car. Why hide a product you are trying to promote?

    Willing to Wait (How Long)??

    My problem is, I'll need a car by early 2018 at the latest so I'm not in the club who can wait three years. I like the technology of the M3 but don't really care about the global warming crap so I don't care if I buy an ICE vehicle, but I really like the M3 and hope to make the early cut for...

    3D model

    I like the wheels closer to the front/rear of the car. It makes it more sportier looking with less beak hanging off the front like the demo model.

    Tesla Model 3 Commercial - Very Emotional

    I guess the oil derrick pumps are emotional for the crazy people who still think the word is ending. No mention on how the electricity will be produced to charge all these electric vehicles.

    Model 3 Margins

    "Lexus apparently has survived over 25 years by having a 14% margin." I think the Toyota part is a contributing factor.

    Is anyone getting a base model?

    Are you serious about power windows and ponds? Are you driving around in a chuck wagon? Maybe you can but some scuba gear in your Model 3 if the wife is afraid of driving into a pond.

    Kim Komando staff article-very pessimistic in nature

    She has a point. Tesla is doomed If Tesla can't find a way to keep cost down and deliver the M3 on or ahead of schedule. The tree hugger will hold out for the M3 but the average buyer is not going to wait three years for a car. The excitement for the casual fan is already wearing off. I...

    Model 3 reveal effect on other luxury car sales

    If you are not in the market for a luxury car then why are you buying an M3? I have a bridge to sell you if you think you are getting the M3 for $35k. And people in the luxury car market probably don't give a crap about the environment and gas prices don't matter either.

    Solution to charge your Model 3 if you don't have any garage?
