Well, until they come up with some actual sound dampening on the Model 3 I'm not going to get one. Our road surfaces are too rough and creates too much noise.

Here in Sweden we already go to the Service Centers to pick up the cars. But still, I'm afraid Tesla won't survive...

I didn't have to do anything. They offer that to all S and X customers. Not because of this though. It was part of the original deal made back in september.

I bought a S 100D in september last year. I'm not too upset because I like the car and Tesla offered me a 50% buyback after three years. So that's what I will get regardless. If this hadn't happened the depreciation of the car would probably still hit the 50% mark. So it doesn't really change...

I will never ever again buy a new Tesla. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Depends. Here it's already illegal to tune your ICE. No one cares much about it though and it's pretty common. But it's still illegal to drive a car with more power than the papers says it's got.

I guess this is why youtube is full of americans having their cars sliding down slopes during wintertime. :D You NEVER see stuff like that here. Never. It's not about going up driveways and such things. It's about stopping, reduce the risk of sudden skids etc... Oh, and it's NOT about...

Among other things. Yes. :D

What i meant was that high IQ won't teach you that Belgium is a country and not a city. Facts.

I agree with what you say and for us the charging stops isn't a problem although I aknowledge that for others it can be. Depends on where you live, where you typically drive, how often you go on long drives etc.

IQ and knowledge isn't the same thing. You can be very smart and still know very little. Trump actually thinks coal and oil is the future...

Well, I was a kid once. Oh, scratch that. I'm _still_ a kid in many ways. Ferrari is a childhood dream and I got to test drive some sports cars a few years ago. Porsche 991.1 Turbo S, Porsche 991.1 GTS, Porsche Cayman GTS, Lamborghini Gallardo, Aston Martin Vantage, Ferrari 458 Italia, Nissan...

I have a deposition for a Model 3 and already owns a Model S 100D. I think I will get priority over all non Tesla owners but even I have no idea on when I can order mine. Some rumours about a batch coming to Europe in Feb/Mar next year but they are probably going to the Netherlands and to Norway.

You know that some of us actually lives outside the US. Crazy, huh?

Not as a daily driver. I do want a Ferrari 458 Italia though. But I can't afford it and probably never will...

As I said, there's no (permanent) fix for this. :) I'm sorry to hear about your problems. My problems are very mild and on this Friday I'm picking up my brand new S 100D. I will be very careful so I don't end up with this problem again. Always low for a start...

Maybe those interiors are common in the US? Here where I live most BMW:s have cloth or dakota interiors with plastic dash... :)

I don't get it. What's so nice about the BMW interiors unless you go with full leather dash, merino leather seats etc?

I have it on my S 90D. It's not only "clicking noises". It creates vibrations as well. Pretty bad ones at that. I was told by my service centre that my problems are too mild to warrant them to exchange the worn out parts and that they can only advice me to drive the car in "Always low" mode...

I'm also a BMW defector. I've owned 10 BMW:s over the years including two M2:s, a 435, 335, 550... Now I have a Model S 90D until Friday when I get my brand new S 100D. The Model 3 hasn't made it over here yet but I'm already making plans to replace my BMW i3 when it does. Thing is with petrol...

There's no fix for this.

The 85D pack is better I think. I don't know if my reduction is that bad. I think it's normal for the 90 pack. I still have a 90% SOC range of 236 miles of what they call "typical range". I think it's calculated by 186 Wh/km (299 Wh/mile). Which makes me think I still have around 78 kWh usable...

I know it's different here in Europe to the US. Here a kWh is $0.17 and a US gallon of gas is $62. We also have different tax rules making the ICE even more heavily taxed while electric cars enjoys tax reliefs. In short, even if the price is the same the TCO is much lower on the Tesla.

This is the answer. A really fast ICE is still very slow to react compared to a Tesla. And I don't even have a P. :) I also love how quiet the car is in the city. Red lights etc. Very calming.

Here the 21" are 49k SEK (~$5.4k) EXTRA over the 19" when buying a new car. You can easily buy slightly used 21" turbines/arachnids for much less than that AND still get the 19" with the car. Well, unless you just need to buy new directly from Tesla of course. The main problem with the...

I have a 90D -16 with 75 000 km (46.6k miles) on the clock and for a number of reasons I decided to get a new one so made the choice between a 75D and a 100D. One of the reasons why I don't want to keep the 90D is because I see a steady degeneration of the battery. I think it's lost about 5%...

Well, the vibrations only comes during strong acceleration and in "normal" or higher on the air suspension. In "low" the vibrations are not too bad. Almost every Model X and most P-models suffer from this it seems so I guess it must be an issue in the US as well? Or maybe driveshaft is the...

My facelift 90D -16 has 46 600 miles on the odometer. The battery lost around 5% of it's capacity along the way. Four new door handles, drive shaft vibrations that can't be fixed it seems, one swaybar replaced, front corrected to help fix annoying vibrations at speed and now the windscreen...

At 90% (ranges in typical) 2017 S75D @ 11 000 km (6 853 miles): 350 km (217 miles) 2016 S90D @ 56 000 km (34 800 miles): 409 km (254 miles)

I've heard that auto high beam can be different from car to car. The problem with my AP2 car was that it was too late to turn the high beam off when I was on a long straight. On curvy roads it worked just fine because then it would instantly turn off when required. But on longer straights the...

I've had a Volvo XC70 and a BMW 5-series touring as late as earlier this year. The Volvo was amazing. Way superior to the BMW. However, when we packed for our summer holiday I couldn't believe how much you could fit into the Model S. I actually think we got room for more bags and stuff than...

I replaced my S 75D with AP2 with an S 90D with AP1. For me the new one is near perfect for my needs. 1. The auto high beam works almost perfectly. Just as good as my previous cars (mostly BMWs). The auto high beam in the AP2 car was a joke and I had to turn it off. Every car I met blinked at...

In the real world that difference doesn't matter at all. A couple of minutes at most. 36 or 39 minutes, who cares?

I don't like the Model 3. I don't like how it looks. I don't like the interior. I don't like the "smart" solutions it has. No speedometer ahead of you, only electric opening of the back doors, no hatch back opening... So yeah. I'd probably choose Model S again. But actually in 2 years when my...

Model 3 looks too quirky and doesn't fit our needs. No way I'm going to buy one of those. No way. It's ugly too.

It's done! It's here.

You notice. Trust me. It's a very big difference. It's "just" one second but since the corked version is already quite fast it's´actually 20% faster. You don't have to do 0-60 specifically to notice the difference. You can do 20-70 or just 0-30. It's noticably every time you use the gas pedal.

Yes, I think so. I really don't see what AP2 is supposed to be doing in the near future that I can't be without.

I don't pay any extra taxes on the new car. You do that in the US?

Why do you want the HEPA filter so badly? Are you preppers?

20-15 for the 90D. Sweet! :D

Well, you're taking the 0-60 thing way too literally. It's just a measurement of how fast a car is. If it makes 0-60 in a full second less it means that the cars is much faster. It feels more agile, it's more fun to drive... But necessary? Not at all. You're fine with a 0-60 time of 10+ seconds...

Thanks, I have exactly the same view as you. Many things will happen in the coming years. I'm not even sure my next car after the 90D will be a Tesla. I will keep the 90D for exactly 22 months until the lease expires. I then hope there are many options available by then. Including cheaper...

FSD will probably NEVER happen with these AP2 cars. The hardware on new cars delivered now is already improved, as is the hardware on the Model 3. I've heard several experts saying that the hardware on the AP2 simply isn't good enough to allow FSD. Yes, I will get brand new Continentals on them...

A brand new S 75D with the same specifications, including winter tires at $4k) as the 90D would cost 1 168 200 SEK. The referral is gone since Nov 1 here and our "federal credit is only 40 000 SEK (~$4.8k). The grand total of a new 75D would be around $135k. (A 100D is $168k) So... I've done...

There's also the interior. ;) No tax. Technically I don't sell my car or buy the other. I'm signing over my lease to another company and taking over the existing lease on the 90D. In the short run I will actually make $2k as I will be paid $14k for my contract but only pay $12k for the contract...

It's not just color though. The 21" wheels with brand new tires are almost worth $6k even on the second hand market. I also get ultra hifi, premium package, nicer interior, electric tailgate opening, air suspension...

I'm selling mine for $101k and buying the slightly older 90D for $107k. Difference is $6k. I think I will get most of the $6k back when I sell it. (Ie, I think the 90D will stay more valuable than the 75D) The deal is as good as done now. I'm taking the plunge. :D

I don't think there will be a 150D. It wouldn't be very eco friendly to drive around with massive batteries when you typically don't use more than a fraction of it in your everyday commute. The car would also be heavier than it needs to be. I think 100 kWh is more than enough for almost anyone...

Exactly, there's no way FSD will work anytime soon and that makes the AP2 kind of pointless from my perspective.
