    Going to pass on AWD to get my Model 3 sooner, anyone else doing the same?

    Oh, yeah, just defaulting to that nomenclature. I get the tax details and will realize the full value. Good point though, it isn't a rebate at all.

    Going to pass on AWD to get my Model 3 sooner, anyone else doing the same?

    You're right about RWD in an ICE being challenging. I drove a RWD Dodge Dakota for 5 years of college in Minnesota, and while it got me around, it definitely got squirrelly at times. In the end, this will come down to where we're at with the rebates when I get my reservation email.

    Going to pass on AWD to get my Model 3 sooner, anyone else doing the same?

    Going to pass on AWD to get my Model 3 sooner, anyone else doing the same?

    I'm in Alaska, so I'd love to have the AWD. However, it would mean the difference between a Feb-April delivery and Aug-Oct (with the corresponding rebates). I'll be keeping my F150 for those times when the city plows can't keep up, but otherwise going RWD with good snow tires. We're pretty...

    Tesla in Alaska

    Sorry to jump on an old thread - new to the forum. AudobonB, how is servicing these days in AK? I live in Anchorage and have a 3/31 model 3 reservation. Curious to know how repairs have been recently for current AK owners... Thanks!
