Sweet car, very tempting..

I sure hope the Model 3 is on-time and avoids this nonsense.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm weighing my options. I may call Tesla tomorrow and see if I can snag an end of quarter steal on a 2013 P85 - not likely but I may give it a shot. Of course that's really not the financially responsible option :D but really I've been wanting to get into a...

That was me until the Accord died. Now I have to come up with an interim solution. :(

Have you had any similar issues with your P85D?

So during my afternoon commute last Wednesday, my 2000 Honda Accord bit the dust. Literally smoke everywhere and it puked oil and coolant all over the road. Only 252,000 miles but a lot of them were during my high school days and I ran it pretty hard. I can't complain too much as it has been...

Nope not surprising at all but good to know. I'm actually a little surprised F9 will return to flight this year.

Thanks for the update. Great to hear F9 will return to flight this year. I'm very curious to know the root cause on this one.

Battery swap is dead for now.

I thought Elon mentioned on one of the investor calls that the higher optioned models would be batched first? The extra margin on those cars would help offset the CapEx spend from the production ramp.

Showing the same in the US... Guess you're SOL if wanted grey seats. I haven't seen it in person but the Ocean Blue + grey next gen looks sharp.

I've petitioned for a Supercharger in the Tri-Cities area near the TN/VA line but so far no luck.

I haven't witnessed a launch in person since seeing STS-92 (Discovery) go up in October 2000. Plan to take my son down to watch Falcon Heavy Make history.

I did not wait in line but did order in-store, pre reveal on 3/31. I wasn't expecting to get anything but was pleasantly surprised when it came in the mail.

Maybe there's hope for the 2016 demo flight after all.

Think I'm going to do the same, I'll post when I have some pics. I hope one day I can get it signed by Elon, Franz or JB maybe all three.

If Tesla is reading this thread I'll volunteer to go... :)

Shame on you. If I had a 90D Model S I would drive it around in circles all day if I didn't have anywhere to go.

Darn, this would have been pretty cool. Triple checked all folders in my Gmail but no dice. Would love to get to see Gigafactory 1! I would assume that the silver Model 3 prototype will make an appearance. Would really like to see the car in person and get a better idea of the size.

Nashville is much further actually, about 300 miles. Depending on where in Asheville, NC it could be closer than Knoxville.

Anyone know of current or future plans for a service center in Knoxville? Right now I'd be traveling about 170 miles to Charlotte, NC for service.

Reserved in DC around 5:30 PM on 3/31.. Non-owner, single reservation. 404XXX. My blind estimation was ~80-90,000th in line which would be about right with a ~330,000 starting point.

Anyone else notice that the TN EV Tax Credit funds have been exhausted? If so, I'm wondering if there has been any movement towards additional funds for the program. Since TN is trending towards a tax surplus again this year I sure would like to see us take advantage of this or similar program...

Northeast TN here, will be waiting for model 3.

I am hoping for SB 680 as well. It's a little daunting to make my first EV experience a ~2,600 mile journey but I need a good excuse to get back out to the House of Prime Rib.

LOL only because I can relate. Agreed.

I have always said I would never purchase a car > $20K but Model 3 is going to make me a liar. Maybe I was referring to normal (ICE) cars.. Honestly if I could swing a Model S without being car-poor I would. High end luxury cars never appealed to me but I drool every time I see a Model S in my...

I was dead set on Multi-Coat Red but that silver is growing on me...

Haven't driven a Tesla to-date and reserved my Model 3 in store before the reveal (6 hour drive to DC store). I've wanted to drive a Model S several times but haven't because I'm afraid I'll impulsively purchase one shortly following the test drive.

My guess is < 6 months before deliveries begin - simply for sake of competitive advantage.

Elon confirmed in a Tweet that the seats do fold down Elon Musk on Twitter

Hi Ray, you're not alone!! I can't count the number of times I've had to restrain myself from impulsively ordering a Model S. I've spent the equivalent of a Model 3 reservation on crazy Model S raffles and ended up empty handed. At one point I had to un-follow all Tesla related Twitter feeds...
