Ever since I saw people complaining about this, every time I go to a parking lot, that's all I look at now. It's driving me crazy. :) I've actually never really noticed this on other cars before until now. I see some issues with some other pearl white cars too. I saw a S500 sedan that didn't...

Beautiful! Are those TSportline 19" wheels? How do you like them? Are you using factory tires ?

Good to know. Thanks.

This is a bit off topic, but when you install a dash cam like this in the Tesla. Is it only able to draw power from the 12 V battery, or can it also draw from the car's main battery ? I would imagine the voltage won't work, but just want to check . Thanks.

I mainly wanted AWD for the performance really. I don't need to worry about snow as I'm in the SF bay area. But I can deal with a RWD to start. It's at least better than FWD :) After driving with car with HUD for a couple years, it's hard to go to a car without, let alone without a speedometer...

I'm staying with my reservation and planning to lease the 3 at first. There were a couple reasons for this: 1. model 3 is brand new and isn't proven. Leasing means I won't be stuck with it should it have some kind of long term issue and design flaw which is discovered later on. 2. By the time...

Yeah, I'm hoping there'll be aftermarket HUD options, or at least Tesla might even offer an optional HUD later on.

If this is true, this means the final reveal should be soon right ? I can't imagine they would have test cars on the road before the final reveal.

That's a great idea. Saves me the trouble of having to install my own cams, which is unsightly. It would also be cool to allow you to remotely tap into the camera feed from your app on the phone, so you can monitor the surroundings. The new 5 series has a remote surround view function. This...

I know what you mean, when you buy a car (infinity in your case) from a "premium" brand, you expect the thing to be put together well and not a lot of interior rattle. I can tell you I've pretty much given up that thought. My 70k+ X5 has rattles. When you turn on the AC on a hot day, there are...

He was probably getting a candy bar :) Or just trying to piss off the ICE car drivers.

How's the range on the i3 ?

This thread is starting to get pointless.

I wouldn't mind getting a scale model of the prototype and the final production form.

I highly doubt Tesla will open another production plant or Giga factory any time soon. Remember they did not build the Fremont plant from scratch. It was taken over. They simply do not have the capital to build it from scratch. They're spending billions on the first giga factory alone and that...

Remember reserving the car will always give you priority over other people in your local geography. Plus you are closer to US west coast. I would imagine you should get your car earlier than rest of Canada. They only have to truck the car to you, won't even need to get on a boat like for other...

The spaceship. :) Everything about it just feels futuristic.

the model 3 will be replacing my 2010 Honda fit, which is for the wife. She likes smaller cars and she's not the greatest driver. The autopilot features will help. we drove a BMW i3 before and liked it. But I can't tolerate the short range. To me the model 3 is the first viable and practical...

I just hope they don't come in chrome like that. It would be a finger print magnet and yes, it will be scorching hot in the sun, and ice cold in the winter. :) They should offer them in body color. That would blend the handles in with the car even better and make the overall appearance even...

Can you elaborate on the factory stats? How are you calculating the 3 months production time to fill 100k+ orders?

Well said and thanks for your words of wisdom. I think everyone needs to take a deep breath and calm down. The design is not finalized. After this weekend's tweets from Elon, I feel much more confident that we'll be getting something awesome from Tesla. I'm even more excited now and can't wait...

Probably wishful thinking, but maybe they're doing a F1 race car style steering wheel with indicator lights and controls in the center. Although that might not be practical and costly.

Love those wheels myself. Do MS and MX come with run flat tires standard ? Is there an optional spare tire? I hate RFT's myself.

Yes , a HUD or a small display of some kind is what most people are hoping for. It can certainly be incorporated into the current dash design, as an option. An HUD does not take much space on the dash, although it does increase cost. I believe you also need a special glass for it to work. At...

Bingo, that's all I'm asking !

^^^ I agree. They really need to do something about that big empty space in the front bumper though :) Put a piece of glossy plastic on it , or something! It just looks so odd and unfinished as it stands. Rest of the car is just about perfect , for it's price point can't ask for more.

I wonder if they'll stop the reservations at some point? When you reach a number like 300k, you gotta wonder when you're actually going to see your car ? :)

I still think they may be leaving room for an optional HUD, which if true, it would be a must have option for me.

Another good thing about having a secondary display is fail safe. Imagine if the entire car runs off that one big screen and it fails, or breaks, or a software bug ....

Hey all, Just joined after reserving what could be my first EV. Excited that it would be a Tesla. Been a fan for many years and I'm impressed what Tesla has achieved. I was a bit surprised how minimalist the interior is really. It will certainly take some getting used to. They seem to be...
