    No HOV sticker for Model3 ??

    Hawaii has special EV license plates automatically issued (at no extra charge) when you buy or lease your car. The plate allows use of HOV lanes as well as free parking at meters and even at the airport.

    Model 3 Dimensions

    The wheels on the reveal models are definitely 20-inch (see the Motor Trend video discussion). But remember that that is the bead diameter, not the actual wheel flange diameter, which will be larger. I and others have tried using the tire diameter, which we know to be 26.5 inches. The problem...

    Had you already driven a Tesla before you ordered M3?

    Yes, drove a MS P90D a few weeks before standing in line to reserve the M3. Also, the only car I have owned (or rather leased) for the past year+ is a Leaf.

We have been pretty happy with the Leaf (our only car)--we get better than EPA-rated mileage. Did one trip of 101 miles on a single charge, without using ECO mode and with some...

    But you might be close to right--it is just possible to see the door handles on the left side of the overhead picture. Getting the ratio of the distance between the door handles to the total length, then referencing this to an excellent side view picture, and assuming the external tire size for...

    This would make the width the same as the MS. I seem to recall some mention from people riding in the back seat at the reveal that the seating was noticeably tighter than in the MS.

    Model 3 Dimensions

    If we assume that the width (minus mirrors) is about 73 inches (consistent with Audi A4 and BMW 3), then the length comes out about 175 inches, which is consistent with a number of other estimates and similar to that of the Nissan Leaf.

    Model 3 Dimensions

    I took the best high-resolution image from the side I could find and tried 3 different methods: 1. For an upper limit on the length, assume that the wheelbase is the same as that of the MS--it is unlikely to be longer. Ratioing the wheelbase to the total length gives this upper limit as 179...
