    How long does it take to get your plate?

    That is our downside picking up in neighboring state. They gave us 3 days trip permit. This is truly the one Negative aspect of purchasing a Tesla. We never had any issues getting a plate from buying from existing manufacture before for brand new vehicles.

    How long does it take to get your plate?

    We lived in Oregon and went across the river to pick it up in Vancouver, WA. In hindsight, maybe this was the mistake but I guess we dont have a choice to drive around with expired trip permit as DMW wont sell us another 3rd trip permit. Oregon only have 20/21 days trip permit only.

    When do we will know if Tesla will offer Point of sale tax credit for model 3 after 1/1/2024. In addition, when do you guys think the highland will be available for purchase in United States

    So uh, who did not get approved for their Model 3?

    I didn’t know this is the requirement for Entry level luxury car buyer. What would be the target or income level for actual luxury car market, 250k plus to buy a Model S/X.

    Phantom / Vampire Drain on Model 3

    Why is this still an issue for a model been out for at least 5 months. Especially if you didn’t had any issue in the beginning and now it is getting worse for you. They need to resolve this soon

    Model 3: My car is in the shop on day 2

    Leaked email - plans for 6000/wk by June

    Maybe Elon can meet his timeline goal one of these day. AWD option and white interior should be on time per delivery estimate. Not sure when exactly is Late 2018 translate to actual date/month.

    Dual Motor and White Interior options arriving after 5k/Week Production

    So is there a picture of the actual production instead of beta model for testing like someone seen at the track? How many had they produced since Tesla barely crack above 2,500 units per week on the normal LR model.

    So sick of the negativity

    Which part of my statement is not true. One metric for the amount of money being shorted on TSLA doesn’t equal to true for all metric. All you do is quoting some text and regurgitate doesn’t meant you know as the only sole fact about Tesla stock. I made money both on long and short on TSLA...

    So sick of the negativity

    I’m not always negative toward Tesla but I will point out any fact or truth. I’m sorry but I can’t be helpful or provide any insight because I’m still waiting for my car 2+ years now and counting. Maybe if I’m lucky then i will get it in 7-9 months.

    So sick of the negativity

    My point is that majority of roadster owner using it as the main mode of transportation (aka daily driver) would be significantly less compare to Toyota Camry or Honda Accord. Would you agree with me on that? So you meet or know 100 owners, would you say that is the majority owners of ALL...

    So sick of the negativity

    Roadster is a niche and luxury model. You don’t have that safety and willingness if you trying to bring a model supposedly for a mass market for family transportation. People use this car as daily driver and transportation vehicles not as a weekend toy or extra money to throw at 50k car to see...

    So sick of the negativity

    When people refer to TESLA as most shorted stock, they never mention it as just the amounted of money. Yes , I’m still correct as I was referring to short float percentage. Of course , who care about the total amount of money being shorted. Nobody ever refer to that on stock market or that...

    So sick of the negativity

    Tesla is not the most shorted stock company. Please do some research before throwing out statistic as fact. Stock have 70% float short (AAOI) would be on that list and Tesla is under 25%.

    Dual Motor and White Interior options arriving after 5k/Week Production

    Add generous 3-6 months on Elon promise *probally* timeline.

    Interior, headliner quality issues

    Damn, Tesla went cost saving by eliminating alcantara. $50k + plus shouldn’t have cheap quality interior material. I wonder what the normal version without PUP would be comparable to Camry or Corolla.

    Car and Driver Model 3 Test - Not Great

    I wish I can like your post x10. Reading a post over Tesla forum where they call all Tesla owners /reservation holders to arm themselves against recent media attack on issues such as model S recall , fatal auto pilot accident On Model X, model 3 production delay and early defects/issues make...

    Canceling my reservation

    When people invest their money and time waiting for a car 2+ years, they have a right to voice their reasoning and opinions why they are no longer interested .

    Anyone else worried about getting a car being made this week?

    The only advantage about not being invited or waiting for AWD is TESLA will have plenty of time to cleanup the early production defects/issues and have more parts (brake pads) available by the time I get the car.

    Model 3 Track Day: Laguna Seca

    Last I checked, Tesla didn’t make those brake pads? So why so hard to have extra brake pads. Is brake pads the production bottlenecks (hell) for Tesla?

    Model 3 Track Day: Laguna Seca

    If you can’t source extra brake pads for 10,000 cars, you will have much greater part availability concern once you reach 100k yet alone 500k. Tesla you have part issue. Might want to get your supply chain in check.

    Model 3 Track Day: Laguna Seca

    That is very stupid of Tesla forcing you to buy calipers to replace brake pads job. They should be thanking you for doing a track test on the model 3 and show them what they didn’t test and subpar quality in the brake system. We can only hope that aftermarket industry / group will have a...

    It is called Corolla and green Berets. As of this point, I will wait to hear more details regard pricing of Dual motor and if it will offer for short range version.

    Here we go again... Model 3 wont power up

    If Tesla can’t fix issues that left model 3 owners stranded then those long line might get shorter very quick

    Model 3 vs Mclaren 720s at dragstrip vid!!

    720 run 9 seconds in stock form. Don't tell those tesla fan bois over tesla forum because they think their model S is a super car comparable to Ferrari.

    Model 3's Ride Quality

    I have the exact same car xc60'Rdesign and found the suspension is perfect. Maybe my rear end doesn't require the car to ride like a plush pillow and the whole point of Rdesign model is sportier handling. I find it seem counterintuitive that have a sport model on any car only to revert to base...

    I would start paying for my M3 today

    I'll tell you what, send me your money and I'll guarantee a return of 1% on your fund. You will earn more money from me than from your bank/credit union or CD for the next 18 months.

    What is Tesla doing now concerning the M3?

    The way I look at this is more time for me to finds way to make money for the down payment. I need all the time I can while hoping my car won't die before then.

    Poll: Would you buy an early production Model 3?

    This is a wish poll since we all know there won't be an option like this from Tesla. I would be lucky to get my Model 3 by Q1 of 2018.

    Model ☰ License Plate Ideas?

    I don't have any permanent idea but I wish we have a system of how to know what license plate name is available. Stupid Oregon DMV system is so ancient that we have to list out the choice by paper form and they will give us whatever is available. I was thinking Flash3, Charged, FUOPEC...

    Anyone want to team up on a savings thread to keep each other motivated?

    ^^^^^ I agreed completely. If you are any normal person that do some due diligence on investment, you have to be really stupid and bad to only get 2-3% return. Even if you throw a dart at some random companies in SP500, you would get an average of 5-6% in 10 years. That is not even counting...

    LED Headlights Are A Must

    I'm pretty sure the Model 3 have the LED DRL. I would hope the Model 3 does have LED low beam at least. The cost is minimal now for Tesla to put that as a standard feature.

    Anyone want to team up on a savings thread to keep each other motivated?

    Ummm not everyone have $45k cash laying around in 2 years to outright buy a car. Even so, I rather invest in mutual fund/index/ETF or even large cap stock with good dividend rate more than 3% and let it compound investing over 6 years will return better than a loan for 30k with interest 3%.

    Anyone want to team up on a savings thread to keep each other motivated?

    CRAZY speculation: Plaid

    I find ludicrous surcharge is ridiculously price. If the option still remain at $10k then I would have to pass. I rather invest that $10k for retirement then few seconds of joy when stepping on the gas pedal.
