    Why did you purchase a Model 3 and what were your other options?

    An EV has always been of interest. When the Model 3 was introduced I finally found a car to suit all of my requirements. It is the right size, right price, quick, fun to drive and by the way is an EV. Other cars considered while waiting were the Kia Stinger and Alfa Romeo Giulia, I could not be...

    Am I the only one who couldn't care less if my Model 3 headliner is cloth instead of fake suede?

    I could care less!! As long as the surface wears well and cleans easy. I am in favor of all of those ahead of me that want alcantara to cancel their orders so that I can move up and get my car sooner!!

    Petition to add tow hitch to Model 3

    I would hope for a towing capability of 2,000 lbs including the trailer. The Model 3 weighs 3800 lbs. Again, if GVWR is not exceeded it should not be a strain on the power train. I believe that your thought of packaging the tow package with dual motors and air suspension makes sense for Tesla...

    Petition to add tow hitch to Model 3

    I do not know what difference single or dual motor makes, as long as you do not exceed the GVWR of the vehicle. The motor(s) do not know or care whether the passenger/cargo weight is all in the car or partly on a trailer, including the weight of the trailer. Of course there are other factors...

    POLL: If the GOP tax reform kills the $7500 tax credit, will you still buy?

    I cannot speak to that since I am just a "little old" retired mailman. I do believe that given our current national debt, we should be re-evaluating all tax cuts and subsidies.

    POLL: If the GOP tax reform kills the $7500 tax credit, will you still buy?

    I never counted on the federal tax credit. Why should someone who is paying taxes but barely getting by have to help me to by a car? The Model 3 is a car in my price range, it is the right size, performance is great and by the way, is a great looking car!! The fact that Tesla is helping the...

    Aero or Sport wheels

    Aeros are ugly!!! Will take them and sell the wheels and tires to someone who would like to have the wheels for winter tires, then buy 18" wheels and tires from Tire Rack. I will price the takeoff Aero wheels with tires for $1000 or offer. Of course I cannot do this until I get my car in the...

    Steering Column Display in Model 3

    What a great system. I would have no problem with your idea.

    what are your thoughts on insurance costs

    My State Farm agent said that I would be surprised at the lower cost of a Model 3 (compared to ICE cars of same value). Yes, I hope I am surprised at the lower cost!! I will not be surprised at a higher cost.

    If you had a choice: Acceleration or Distance?

    If I can get closer to 300 miles with 0-60 in 6 seconds then I will be ecstatic!! Warning, mileage is very dependent on how often one uses the throttle and how far down one pushes it!!

    Front End... Hmmmmmm

    You are absolutely, 100% correct !!
  18. 2018 Steve

    Front End... Hmmmmmm

    The first car that I bought, a 1962 year vehicle , (in1964) had no grille. Why is a grill needed if there is no function/purpose for it. I will buy a Model 3 if it is the same as the ones in the reveal or have an emblem of some sort. It is what we are used to. Tesla does not style their cars...

    What is your true Model 3 budget?

    I never have planned on paying the base price. If I can get what I want for no more than $55,000 out the door then I will be happy. What would I expect with that price? Base wheels and tires, base sound system, base interior, metal roof, extended range approaching 300 miles,maybe air suspension...

    Will Model 3 be your first American car?

    Hondas, Mazdas (RX4) and Nissans. Two American cars since 1964. Corvairs and a 2007 Chev trailblazer

    How would you prefer to pay for Supercharging?

    Our Model 3 will be used most of the time within a 75 mile radius from our home. Therefore, we will not be using a supercharger very often so would prefer to pay at the SC station when needed. Currently the closets one is 15 miles away.

    Breed of dog Tesla Owners and Fans have.

    Our Boxer, Lucas is a travel-in dog!! In fact, after we got home took these pictures, he was ready to go again !! I am sure that he will enjoy the Model 3 just as much.

    Barebones Ludicrous -or- Fully Optioned Model 3 ?

    Checked the second box since there was only two choices. I can be very happy with a 0-60 time of 6 seconds. Maybe a battery upgrade and air suspension along with a metal roof and possibly convenience autopilot. As Elon stated, the base Model 3 will be a very nice car. I would never buy a "fully...

    What's the typical tread life we could expect on those 20"version of wheels on model 3?

    From Tire Rack. The measured rim of a 245/45/18 is an 8" rim with a 7.5"-9" range. The measured rim on a 245/35/20 is 8.5" with a range of 8"-9,5" Both are Hankook V12 EV02. The lower profile tire needs a wider rim since there is less sidewall height between the tread and the wheel. I agree with...

    What's the typical tread life we could expect on those 20"version of wheels on model 3?

    It all comes down to tire contact patch, rubber compound, and how one drives. My A7 Hoosiers have a tread wear rating of 30. They most likely would not go 3,000 miles of careful street driving. Of course I do not use them on the street and, wow, are they ever soft!! They grip like glue!! A 100...

    What's the typical tread life we could expect on those 20"version of wheels on model 3?

    A couple of things to know about wheel diameter: What is important is the overall diameter of the tire. The manufacturer designs a car with a certain diameter in mind. This diameter remains constant when using certain diameter wheels. There is a limited range of wheels that can be used in...

    Model 3 to get Hankook Tires

    I would vote for 245x45x18 for two reasons. This size is almost identical to the wider, lower profile 20" rim tires (as reported by Motor Trend)), in overall diameter. Also, there is a larger selection of this size vs the 235X45X18 tire. source: Tire Rack

    Had you already driven a Tesla before you ordered M3?

    Have followed Tesla from the beginning. Ordered my Model 3 last month and test drove a Model S on 12 May with my good friend Nick who has also ordered a M3. The drive of the Model S was GREAT!!

    Model 3 Dimensions

    The Motor Trend article states the following: "The 3’s side view is telling in this regard. The priority of the wheelbase pinches the front overhang, but not unattractively. Compare for a moment the profiles of the Model 3 and BMW’s 340i. That ancient horse-before-the-wagon...

    Poll: Model 3 Front

    I would like to see the Model 3 with the same front emblem (between the headlights) as the Model S. Kind of like my other car with no front grill.
