    High insurance costs or more FUD...

    Insurance cost is one of the big reasons I was forced to give up on getting a model 3. Geico was quoting me an annual premium of $4k+ (this is with high limit coverage on all options to meet required primary insurance coverage to remain eligible for my umbrella policy so $250/500K on all...

    Help with Car insurance

    It’s all up to your personal situation but personally I carry much higher limits. This was a consideration I made and chose the higher cost associated with such high coverage for the additional peace of mind it offers to know I’m well protected in the event of the unthinkable

    Where to see a real live Model 3 in Massachusetts

    Non Owner - Just Placed my Order

    The address in my account was set to a Boston MA address when I got the config invite email. Once I logged in and went through the deferral (waiting for AWD) and it asked me to confirm the name and address that I would be using to order/register the car and then I changed from my MA to PA...

    Speculation: configuration queue for non owner line waiters

    Are you my doppelganger? My 05 S40 has a permanently list check engine light and I'm running out of time before my inspection goes out of date (I'm lucky in that my current sticker is good through May instead of March but that is going to still creep up really quick)

    Tesla Model 3 Down: Won't Power Up, and is Inaccessible

    Woah didn't know that, thanks for the info!

    Battery to 0 overnight

    I don't know whether that is actually the case or not, but my guess would be that is only when the car is put into a deep sleep/low-power mode... just parking and walking away for a year (even on a mostly full charge) has too much vampire drain for that to be ok.

    Non-owner First Production window just got pushed back

    I think it’s listed as Mid 2018 in the design studio because that’s when the first AWD were gonna ship but that your relative place in the line means that your AWD estimate is Late 2019. (I would also guess that Mid 2018 was based on earlier estimates and probably also needs to be updated and...

    Is this for real?

    But once the car is down the hill (after impacting the tree) you can hear wheels spinning if you turn on sound. Yes its a steep driveway covered in snow, but where the car starts from it doesn't seem like it was parked on a steep enough slope to start moving without some acceleration force.

    Phone as Key Issues

    The same thing happens if you hold your iPhone up to NFC card readers for building doors (ie my work has them on our badges to get in and out of our offices), the phone senses the NFC signal and assumes you're standing at a credit card terminal hoping to pay for a transaction.

    Successful completion of Condo charging installation – Now I can charge at home!

    @David29 this is an incredible recount of what you went through to get charging up and running. I'm currently on the waitlist for a Model 3 and also live in a condo in MA of similar type/size to what you describe (mill building, permanent exclusive use of assigned parking spots etc). I was...

    You can't transfer a reservation without Tesla's written consent. If you don't plan on getting the 3 best option is to cancel your reservation.

    Pictures of production Model 3s

    It definitely does look blurry but when I view it on my monitor and blow the image up the number in question looks more like a 6 than a 5 to me but I could definitely be mistaken. Look at how the number in Model 3 line appears different in from the 5 in the $5,000 premium upgrade and EAP line...

    Sorry to derail the picture thread but had to ask... Does the math/pricing on this seem off in the 'As Configured' section to anyone else? Or am I just missing something? Model 3: $36,000 (Isn't base model 3 $35K?) Long-Range Battery: $9,000 Premium Upgrades: $5,000 Silver Metallic: $1,000 18"...

    liberymutual insurance

    If you're willing to share for a comparison basis, what is your current car and what is your insurance cost for it?

    Postpone New Car Purchase?

    I have an aging (early 2005 model year) Volvo that was getting ready to collapse early this year. I put a few k in repair work to keep it going rather than get a new car and I'm hoping that I can keep this car going until my Model 3 arrives. East coaster who waited in line (in the first 50...
