    2018 Leaf vs Model 3

    Though Automatic emergency braking is standard, the ProPilot is not. It is attached to a $2200 Technology Package which is only available on the SV and SL trims. $34,690 is the cheapest you can get it with ProPilot enabled.

    Any non-employee get to configure their Model 3 yet?

    Mine did as well for the 'First Production' estimation. However, I am waiting on the AWD version.

    Motor Trend live at Gigafactory with Model 3 today!

    Well, given that the Gigafactory will be able to produce enough battery packs for 500K cars a year, in order to get to 1 million per year by 2025, you'd need another one.

    Model 3 Delivery Phases

    This tweet from Elon kind of answers this question Elon Musk on Twitter He is basically saying that Day-1 East Coasters can expect to get their car before late West Coast orders. The point of the initial release on the West Coast is to be able to quickly QA early issues. Michael DeLisi...

    Who pre-ordered before the car was seen?

    Lined up in Dedham, MA. Was about 200 people ahead of me. The reveal made me quite happy.

    How is Tesla making money on the Model 3?

    First off, I'd expect the base Model 3 to have a smaller battery. Remember that the Model 3 is smaller, so it should have better mileage per kWh. The original Model S had a 208 mile range with a 60kWh battery. I imagine a vehicle 30% smaller would get a bit more than 215 miles with the same...

    Heads-Up-Display (HUD): More proof

    Obviously, speed display and turn by turn directions would be great. Any warnings would also be good to have, battery temperature, battery capacity, Tire Pressure sensor, etc. If you combine some of the decision making parameters for AP, you could have the following: - Lane position overlay -...

    How will you pay for your new model 3?

    10,000 shares of SUNE (costs less than 1/4 that of 500 shares of SCTY today) and could be worth more than 500 shares of SCTY by the time M3 releases. Of course, it could also be worth 0, but my bet today is that it will recover and pay for my M3. Otherwise, Finance.

    No hatch-back on model 3 - Anyone else disappointed.

    I don't think the glass roof is a gimmick. It is how they are obtaining the headroom in such a small In that scenario, you would need a cross member right where your rear seat passenger heads are. You can't just stick a hinge on two sheets of glass.

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

    A fully loaded (Ludicrous) Model 3 COULD be faster than a Ludicrous Model S, as the 3 is lighter and has less drag. This is assuming that Tesla makes a performance version of the Model 3 which can put out similar horsepower.

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

    I hope to be able to test drive it before taking delivery. I reserved 3-31 in store, so I may not get the option. Typically, I test drive the car I'm buying and the competitors in the same day. I also like swinging by a Car Max and test driving used models of the car I'm buying to see the...
