    Closing the frunk with one hand

    Literally millions of cars out there with aluminum hoods, that get slammed down every which way and you never see them damaged. Why in the world did Tesla not put ONE extra pound of Aluminum into reinforcing the front center area? Especially when you consider a hood is opened perhaps monthly on...

    Worth placing an order for medium to long range purchase?

    So the fine print officially states you have 90 days after being matched? That is very helpful information, much thanks! I guess I can keep waiting until the legislation seems more imminent, and then give Tesla $100. Seems like a worthwhile gamble. I believe in the company; so if they end up...

    Worth placing an order for medium to long range purchase?

    I’ve got my eyes on a MYLR7 / tow / white / white interior. Trouble is I don’t want it now, more like Fall time frame. Do I place an order now to lock in current pricing? I’m one of those people that expect Tesla to jack up prices once the EV credit is reinstated. With orders placed today, how...

    Get a grip people! What all the complainers are missing.

    Agreed, except regards to the 3 costing less than the Bolt. While true if you compare base MSRPs, we all know that's not going to be how things play out when everything is accounted for. Somewhere in the first half of 2018, Tesla will be out of tax credits. That will start the phase out...

    Is it just me that is disapointed by the cargo space!?

    The hitch mounted cargo carrier is a wonderful device. I've used it many times. For luggage, for firewood, for mulch, for a hot water tank. Very little hit to fuel economy. The roof mounted carrier I would never do. It's ugly IMO, it affects aerodynamics, it can be noisy, and it's no fun to...

    Is it just me that is disapointed by the cargo space!?

    Correct. Hatchback ratings are always inflated, assuming you can pack to the roof. Which you can rarely do. You can't do that with Christmas gifts and pumpkin pies. So 14 cu ft in the 3 will probably be a little more practical than 16.9 cu ft in the Bolt. Depends on what you're carrying. I...

    Is it just me that is disapointed by the cargo space!?

    Personally, yes I'm disappointed, very much so. As others have said, I assume the small trunk is due to a very large rear seat area. We will have to see how roomy it feels when they are reviewed. You cannot simply attribute the lack of cargo capacity to the 3 having a trunk versus a...
