    Supercharger - Michigan City, IN

    Here I was just about to post the opposite. Buffalo Wild Wings, Chipotle, Five Guys, Dunkin', that local pizza shop, Sophia's House of Pancakes, Chili's, Jimmy John's, Pizza Hut, Panda Express -- this might be the supercharger with the best food options I've seen in the "extended Michigan area"...

    Are you going to lease or finance your Model 3?

    Was this the case with previous Tesla models? I'm likely financing, but was considering leasing as a possibility. Edit: happened to read the Online Configurator Preview thread just after posting and I see multiple claims that leasing will not be available immediately.

    Model 3 Supercharger usage

    Just to quickly chime in about the idea of the credit only applying to superchargers X away from one's home: 100-200 miles away might be fine for those in areas with relatively dense supercharger coverage, but here in Michigan, even 100 miles away is a stretch. If I go on a 300 mile each way...

    Model 3 Battery Size

    Your reputation on these fourms is less than stellar. C'mon, man. Oh, and to all, this is an extraordinarily old thread that was bumped up. There is another battery related thread on the first page that should be used instead.

    [POLL] How much more do you plan to spend vs what you've spent on your previous cars?

    This will be my first car purchase -- certainly doesn't make the expense easy to swallow, though I can afford it. Current car was a gift but could have been valued at ~5k. I'd be fine with keeping it and buying some used car in the future if it wasn't that this car could be the iPhone of the...

    2013 P85+ vs. Model 3

    Tax credit phases out. The full $7,500 should be available through Q2 2018. Perhaps OP would have to wait until Q3, but half the credit would still be available at that time. Every time someone claims the credit will be "gone" in 2018, they should have to put $10 into a swear jar equivalent...

    Will you buy Enhanced Autopilot on your 3 at purchase?

    I've gone back and forth and I'm still not sure of what I'll do. I may purchase it with the car so that it is included in my loan rather than an outright expense later down the road. At the same time though, I don't know that it's worth it for me. I voted no.

    Sub 5 sec 0-60 time (Speculation)

    If the model 3 is lighter, yeah, it certainly should be at least as fast as the S. Unless of course Tesla does not use the same speced motor as the S.

    Tax Credit Clarification

    Kudos. I figured that this was the case but couldn't be certain.

    Tax Credit Clarification

    Apologies if this has been answered already -- I looked but didn't find the explicit answer. Is the tax credit applied to one's taxes before or after the income withheld is? In other words, is scenario A or B correct assuming the phaseout has not begun? A) Applied before withheld Total Tax of...

    Wiki Model 3 delivery estimator

    Mid 2018+, yes. Figuring that includes international orders. Hoping that the focus will be on domestic orders, I was optimistic for late Q1/mid Q2 delivery. At the very least, I'm confident that the tool's estimate is conservative. Though I have little to base this confidence off of.

    Wiki Model 3 delivery estimator

    Yikes. I only just made my reservation last month, but am pretty sure that I won't have to wait until Feb 2019 for the car. I'm figuring ~12 months sooner. Hope that's not a foolish estimate. Funny that this tool says I'll get the P version sooner. Anyway, here's to hoping Tesla will prioritize...
