That's crowdsourcing for you.

Oh yeah, and when I ordered mine it was supposed to be home delivery. 16 miles from the showroom. No one once tried to get it to my house. Even after I had brought up a couple times via txt that it's supposed to be home delivery, and I was fully going to take the 7 days to look the car over...

This must have just happened as my wife was waffling on the 3 I ordered. We went to the showroom and actually drove mine as a test drive before she waffled even more causing a 2 week run around on possibly getting her a new RX450h, which ended in "I just don't think we need a new car right now"...

So interestingly enough. I have had 2 FFE's (Ford Focus Electrics) and both, a couple times a year throw 12v battery messages. However the car, once started, provides a solid 13.2V to all the 12v things it could complain about. The battery message usually happens when I'm backing out of the...

Electricity is free? (before you fire back at me I have 2 EV's and know full well that I went from 18 cents a mile cost on my IS350 to 2.5 cents about, on my EV's. That said I have 50 to 60,000 miles on each. A cost of $2500 per 100,000 miles. That's not bad but that's not free. Keep in mind the...

Nope, not from tesla anyway. I'll buy one 6 months old that someone else already took the credit on. A reasonable used sale, not these jacko's on Craigslist trying to sell the cars for $60k and they keep the credit and play stupid about not being able to "transfer" it to you, which they can't...

I canceled mine when the pushed me to mid 2019. For a handful of reasons. 1 I was ‘fine’ with the above $35k price point, i know I’d spend more. It wasn’t until i did the full math of the near $60k out the door LR car that i took a step back 2 ok fine I’ll still get the fed rebate and I’d get...

Yeah I mean, we should cut down a few more trees for the 500,000 to be built in the next couple years. I however plan on making larger solid pieces of rare(r) woods fo fun. Wenge and zebra wood, possibly Purple Heart for girls

That! Exactly! I want data. Well I say that but I drive with the 'range left' display all the time. But to know the details if I want is a major thing for me. I'd like the full logs if possible at least for the first year. The climate/other use display of my Focus EV has been priceless so far...

That's always fun. Wait till year 5 and you HAVE to go into a gas station to buy a powerball ticket, then you get back in your car and drive away hoping to never have to stop at one again.

Amazes me that my jeans tend to mess up every interior I've had in the last 10 years on any car. Prior to that what was the magic dust used to not let jeans stain leather? Taking this note into account I guess I won't be getting a white interior, without seat covers lol. Vented seat covers...

You will need to use gps to validate. Factory speedo can be messed with by tire inflation etc.

This is totally the case. I rented a Porsche for the bahn when I was there last year at this time. Got to actually open up a couple times for less than 30 seconds. Over crowded and oblivious drivers.

Pure EV. It's speed limited at 85, but the speedo is off by 2.5 mph from the factory, it reads high. So your speedo hits 85 and the car just doesn't go any faster. Most likely to protect all the things. This is my second Focus EV. Great car for the $9k used purchase in AZ. I leased the first as...

Yes, but in white, maybe the whole cap in white. I know exactly what I'd be getting into. No need to mention the brake dust.

How about matched caulking lol

Due to the, so far, lack of different minor options, like carbon interior trim, mainly as the wood trim is all I have see. Would many of you like to change that open pore wood trim for a different wood or carbon? I ask as I was previously in after market accessories and still have the desire to...

evtripplanner.com used a ton of data from MS's and MX's, along with wheel data, drive style, weights and real world conditions. Has anyone used that and how does it work? Is it a 3rd party app on the car or can you pull and upload that data from The infotainment sys? Reason I ask is it's...

Exactly why I'll wait my few months to get mine. That said, a private sale 85,75,60 doesn't have tax. There is 3 p85's local to me for under $55, which is what my 3 will be before $5k in tax, $1500 docs delivered etc. But they are OLD. AP2 is a must for me ( also the 'selling' point I gave my...

I did that with my daughter and friend with my Porsche at shows, insta-sun shade.

Yay! My current 82 mph limited Focus EV made a list lol

Dang it, it's what I get for using my phone on the internet. I was actually thinking of getting a white 3 and wrapping the roof during the summer here. I didn't want the glass roof but I'm having to get it.

I'm not the only one to realize the one on the right isn't a glass roof. The glass roof is making it appear taller as there is not defined roof line. Plus the camera distortion

I've seen worse fitting rear doors in the MX. Porsche hoods are actually sunk below inning up for areo and. Pose reduction. I wouldn't be surprised if they have to do some ugly things for all Models as the lack of ICE enables the 'what they heck is that noise' from the back doors while on the...

Yep I saw that same ad, he lowered his price $1k already haha.

That's not all that much due to the tooling, fit and finish should be hand done at the end of the line. Some of that just can't be fixed without spending a bunch more on something. Be it people or tools.

I wonder which camera phone is doing the greatest disservice for us. There us to be a decent amount of post processing going on for lens correction.

They don't affect my judgement, much, lol. But I do think I'll go areo's and pull the cover. Yeah second gen Prius, forgot just how bad the first was.

This reminds me of the first Prius :(

Teh hell? Lol

Where's my vented seats!!! I'd pay money for that. But seriously the wood accents, I'll be making some parts available shortly after getting my 3. Lately I'd need to summon the car with the mirrors folded at work as no one seems to know how to not park on top of my car.

I wish they'd stop doing that. Both my EV Fords had lead batteries and both had to be replaced in less than 3 years.

I'll use the 22ple I have from my Porsche I never got around to using. Was thinking of a wrap but matte wrap and glossy roof... na.

This was made public the day or the day after the hand over night. But it will be called 'leather' by the masses for years to come. 'Vegan alternative material seating' just doesn't roll off the tongue

This is true. I had to buy my charger, otherwise a day to charge a 23kw battery would kinda suck. That said I don't think Tesla would sell as many, as easily if it took 3 days to charge from a wall 110. Explaining chargers to new buyers is hard enough. Explaining they have to charge for days...

Basic AP being accident avoidance, which the Prius has, along with nearly every mid level car made this year forward. Calling it Enhanced implies a level of AP that auto pilots. There is no pilot in the basic, there is a 'oh crap' pilot. As I havnt driven a AP car yet I can't speak to the need...

^^ Can't unsee lol

Agreed, and I don't need to waste cell data on a satellite overview most of the time either.

I just wish they were vented. Might have to look into that, somehow

YES!!! My daughter probably wont be cooked on the way home from school anymore. BTW Anyone have experience with the AC? Like Is it like the 83 SC 911 I had or like most American cars that can hopefully blow your hat off? I really need a lot of air flow when it's 117+ and the cars been baking all...

I was looking and looking for one for years, finally gave up once the 3 was announced.

6.6KW in the Focus EV as well (I have 2 currently and a single 32a charger, yet I don't have an issue with charging them lol) avg 235KW per mile on both lifetime. I think MT was seeing 260 on the 3 they test drove with 3 people in the car and 19's "loaded". I agree with everyone in this thread...

I've been using one with my Focus for almost 6 years. The 40a j1772

Heres my question. The enhanced AP is always talked about in the options. Enhanced. Hence there must be a basic that comes with the car right? What does that do? (This is a serious question not a troll) Basic AP only the breaking and crash avoidance?

I have heard one that's getting more than boring (Not to do with the Boring Co) "Panel gap! GASP!! Freak out! OMG!!" Has Tim given TSLA a solution for that yet? I was hoping it was solved before I get my 3... (I'm a lurker not a noob lol)

I second the 14-50 being more than enough, all I want is to possibly feed at 42a if whatever article I read was correct on that (with the 60a breaker) which is more than enough for me to charge for the 6-8 hour window I have nightly carved out in my EV pricing (Thanks SRP for that!)

Being in AZ it pretty much rules out that dark grey and black. My first electric was black. Wife would leave it out in a parking lot windows up, no sunshade, AC would almost never be functional for 15 min while the car cooled the batteries more than her. But dark brey and black with Areo...
