    Supercharger congestion problem ideas.

    I think a small fine (maybe $10) if people over stay after 30 minutes.

    Supercharger congestion problem ideas.

    OK, so as many have already thought, when the M3 comes out and when production numbers start to run into the millions, supercharger congestion is going to be an issue. At around 30 minutes a charge, what's your ideas on what could help ease the congestion?

    Same with mine. The actual picture and note "from Elon" are OK though

    Wheel & Tire Size Consideration

    Me personally will be getting the cheapest wheels possible, hell I'd take steel wheels if I could, I really can't justify the price Tesla charge for wheels and tyres when you can buy aftermarket for a fraction of the price.

    According to Tesla the Model 3 will not be available until late 2018 at the earliest for UK market.

    Ok I was expecting this to be honest with being RHD. But just had a call from Tesla regarding a my M3 reservation / Ms test drive, and they said 2018 would be the very earliest the M3 will be in the UK. They almost didn't actually give me a test drive in the Ms because I had reserved the M3...

    Model 3 UK Preorders!

    I'm in Mansfield UK, I preordered mine on day 2. Just had a call from Tesla today regarding a test drive I asked for in a model s. I was surprised by the nature of the call as the person on the phone was basically saying she could not book in a test drive for a Ms for a me as I was going to buy...

    0-60 in 2.5 seconds

    I would say so just for the free publicity alone, I've seen countless news articles about this today. Also it gives even more bragging rights - again free publicity

    Just got a gift I wasn't expecting from Tesla

    Production schedule for the artwork maybe, I think the car will be around 2 years behind being rhd

    Hi Chopper. I'm from Mansfield Nottinghamshire. I thought they were only sending them to people who did first day orders

    Just got a gift I wasn't expecting from Tesla

    OK so I ordered a M3 on day 2 online, wasn't expecting the artwork but it arrived today. Just need the car to go with it now . I'm in the UK FYI.

    Email from Tesla- congratulations from Tesla

    Got to agree with you. The model 3 is a long way off yet, doubt anyone will be seeing an email like this for at least a year, for us in the UK probably at least 2 years

    Will the Mod3 PXXD be quicker than the S?

    As counter intuitive as this sounds. A lighter car does not always make a quicker car. To be honest I always thought that to be the case. But I remember reading about the Nissan Gtr, if it was much lighter the 0-60 would suffer. I think it's due to the initial traction needed to shift the gtr so...

    Sacrifice frunk to increase range

    I wouldn't imagine it being much different to having the weight of a decent sized engine up front. Suspension changes would not be a huge problem, yes the center of gravity would be higher but again it is in an ICE vehicle. Audi have been putting the engine in front of the front wheels for years.

    Sacrifice frunk to increase range

    OK, so for some like myself the range on the TM3 and even the s and x are not really enough to be comfortable without needed to find a charging station. My commute is around 300miles round trip and due to my job I am not always going to the same destination so an extra boost in battery capacity...

    No sound, no soul?

    The reason why I said this will not apply to everybody is that I'm sure sales rep types and similar are probably definitely not gear heads will be buying the TM3. Not everyone buying the model 3 will have every driven a highly tuned car and probably never wanted to. From my own experience it's...

    No sound, no soul?

    I definitely like this option. Only available on the D though :)
  23. Chrisuk83

    No sound, no soul?

    Like many of you I have reserved a TM3.I know this will probably not relate to many of you, but for the true gear heads like me, won't you miss the sound of an engine and exhaust? I know 99% of the time, you really don't want to be hearing those sorts of sounds but that 1% of the time when you...

    Will initial model 3's only be pricey signature / 4wd versions?

    Unfortunately we are at the very bottom of the list (rhd). We will be lucky to see a m3 in the next 2 years, probably closer to 3 tbh :(

    "Refreshed" Model S front end vs mock-ups of Model 3 front end!

    I wonder what people a reaction would have been to the new ms front end when the Ms was first launched, I can imagine most people would have thought it too futuristic lol

    reality check: 328i, 335xi performance vs. model 3. how fast is 'fast'?

    The P90D does 0-100 in 21.8 seconds?? TWENTY ONE POINT EIGHT SECONDS, REALLY?? It could pull a BMW to 100mph quicker than that

    Survey: Why did you pre-order a TESLA Model 3?

    Should be a fuel savings option on the list

    RWD Model 3 acceleration vs <$40k entry luxury sedans

    I don't think tesla will be purposefully holding back the model 3 0-60 times just so the model s stays as the 0-30 king. I think the ludicrous model 3 is going to be very ludicrous indeed. All that free advertising of a mass p, roduced reasonable affordable electric car smoking m3's, lambos...

    How will you pay for your new model 3?

    Funny, in the UK that's are called cheques. Thats English for you

    RWD Model 3 acceleration vs <$40k entry luxury sedans

    The AWD will obviously be faster than the rwd. BUT Elon said the AWD will be faster than the ones test drove on the revial night, and from the press coments, they were not slow. Id guess the entry level AWD will be Around or under 5 seconds.

    Fear of Delays, and why they are unfounded

    I'm pretty sure I will be waiting longer than I thought. I'm in the UK and right hand drive, bottom of the list unfortunately

    Why not Paypal option?

    Maybe paypals high fees don't help, around 5% I think

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

    Ford transit works van. 70k miles a year, camt wait for the savings.
  34. Chrisuk83

    What kinds of problems can we expect?

    The model 3 rests entirely on a building that is not even built yet, yet alone producing the goods. I think the gigafactory will be the biggest hold up :(

    How will you pay for your new model 3?

    m me too :(

    Door Handles, 2 different styles?

    I was thinking the same, like these 2 pics
  37. Chrisuk83

    Front End... Hmmmmmm

    I think on many photos the front end looks pretty high and is also making the nose look larger. Looking at this picture I think the front end will be pretty good looking

    POLL: Model 3 Options, what will you spend your money on?

    for less than $5000 awd is a no brainer to me, greatly improved accelaration and if like the model s greater range.I hope all the options are this well priced

    I can't imagine - What will part 2 bring?!

    I remember a car, maybe on topgear 20years ago. It was left hand drive, with three touch of a button it was right hand drive. Can't remember what car it was but would be good of that was the case for the 3. I'm in the UK btw :(

    How will you pay for your new model 3?

    Think I will do cash. It's crazy to think that my current fuel bill (around$25k) will almost pay for the base model . can wait to get it. Tick tock...

    At first I thought they were just 5 spokes but the wheel is nearly filled all the way in. Nice
