    Always wondered how to do these calcs. Thank you.

    I'm speechless, how can Tesla do this?

    So DRAMATIC!!! My lord, just email them and request an exchange. I've been shipped the wrong thing, empty packages, damaged packages, things that I never ordered! Just deal with it.

    What’s the dumbest thing you’ve heard about EVs?

    I won't characterize this as "dumb", but I have had a couple of people who can't grasp that the car is always "on". Typical conversation: ICE driver: So how do you turn it on? Me: It's on already. ICE driver: Wow! That's amazing - no noise. But how do you start it? Me: Shift into drive and...

    Winter tires for 18” Aeros

    Does voice command feature work for anyone? particularly for maps?

    The car does not understand "give me directions to". The manual specifically says "Navigate to" or "Drive to". When you do not start with those words, it doesn't know what to do.

    Manual v Auto transmission (out of MA)

    Soooo... until my M3, I have never owned anything except a manual transmission car. I found that the manual prepared me much better for regen braking (much like downshifting in a manual). The concept that the type of transmission makes a car more or less safe is inaccurate in my opinion. It...

    Model 3 - 1st impressions (for real this time)

    @novox77 - thanks for the detailed and balanced info. I'm in PA, where the road conditions are hardly ideal either. Could you tell me what size tires you purchased? And how they feel on the rougher road surfaces? Thanks!!

    Model 3 Options Pricing

    It is revocable. It'll say so after you choose. I imagine it is to give production team a ballpark number to work with by gauging interest.

    Model 3 Options Pricing

    I think AWD is for us northerners who have to brave snow and ice in the winter. I am anxious to see what that version will cost.

    Any info yet on the Dual Motor AWD w/220 cost yet? Or do we have to wait until the initial build for those cars?
