    How would you start over with TSLA?

    A fun thought experiment, image this scenario: You are fully on-board with the Tesla mission and believe they will be the biggest company in the world one day (especially after battery day). You missed the big run up, and are starting from scratch, post split, with a current SP around $400...

    The next generation already loves Cybertruck

    My teenager came from school yesterday saying how everyone could not stop talking about how sick, awesome, cool (or whatever adjective kids use) the Cybertruck is. Not one negative comment in the whole school he said. It really made me think about how much of the population of adults are not...

    Anyone have 0-60 times for LR RWD post 5% update

    I've seen numbers for the performance, AWD, and even SR, but does anyone have tested numbers for us OGs with LR RWDs?

    Charging in Thunder Bay, ON

    I am driving up to Thunder Bay next week from Minneapolis and trying to find good charging options. I will hit the Duluth SC and charge to nearly 100%, then might stop and charge a little more in Lutsen, MN, but I will need to charge again in Thunder Bay to be able to make it back. I got excited...

    10,000 miles, 10 month in

    I was going to write a long review after driving my Model 3 for 10,000 miles, but I'll make it short and sweet. It's the best product I have ever purchased. Most reliable, most fun car I have ever owned. I'll never go back to gas. If you are on the fence, buy one.

    Model 3 owners, are you planning on buying a Model Y?

    With the big reveal coming on March 14th, what are your plans for the Model Y? We don't know what the process will be this time around as far as reservations, but are you getting one? I definitely plan on getting one, but this time I don't feel the need to reserve one, I'm just going to wait...

    Road trip, 220 miles between stops at cool temps

    Next weekend I am taking my long range RWD M3 on a 1325 mile road trip (non stop, 2 drivers alternating shifts at the wheel). I've planned the route with Tesla's trip planner and also EV Trip Planner. There are 8 supercharging stops. The only leg of the trip that is giving me pause is the...

    Goodbye regen, I'll miss you

    I've had limited regen for about a week since it got cold up here in the north. This is my first winter with my Model 3, but I'm assuming us unfortunate souls in cold regions can probably kiss our full regen goodbye until spring. It's strange having to use the brakes again. :(

    LR RWD owners - would you have ordered MR?

    At first I was kind of bummed when I saw the mid range come out, but knowing I got 50 more miles of range and half a second faster 0-60 acceleration, I am happy with paying the $5k extra. I think I would still have gone with the LR-RWD if both options were available at the time. What do you think?

    1 month/1,000 miles of ownership

    I've had my Model 3 now for just about a month and have put over 1,100 miles on it. People ask me how I like it and my answer is usually: it's a complete game changer - the best product I have ever purchased. I am more impressed with the car every time I drive it. I'm finding myself inventing...

    Self service spray car wash

    I wouldn't think of taking my new Tesla through the automated car wash, but what about the self service, put in 10 quarters, high pressure spray type places. Is there any downside to this?

    Delivery - Accepted!

    Here's how my delivery went down yesterday. Before delivery: The whole day before I cringed every time the phone rang, hoping it wasn't a last minute delivery cancellation. My brain was in a battle with itself; one half was giddy with excitement to finally be getting the car I had wanted for...

    Pay off balance before delivery

    Anyone else seeing this on their account page? Looks like you can now submit payment online before taking delivery.

    Stockpiled LR-RWDs for quick delivery

    It seems many people who have recently ordered a LR RWD (myself included) are getting delivery windows around 2 weeks. Presumably, these are the cars produced and stockpiled during the push to reach 5,000/wk. Do you think there are any reasons to believe these stockpiled cars are less desirable...

    Contact after ordering

    I placed my order a couple days ago and have not heard from a real human yet, only the automated order confirmations. Just wondering what is the usual time frame to expect before being contacted?

    SR AWD or LR RWD faster?

    I know the website shows the SR AWD and the LR RWD as both having the same 0-60 time of 5.1 sec. Has anyone done the math to calculate which configuration would have more horsepower/torque and might actually be faster?

    Will regular autopilot 1.0 driving keep pace with 2.5?

    About to pull the trigger on a CPO 2015 Model S 70D. Was wondering, do you think Tesla is going to keep updating the auto pilot 1.0 on these vehicles? From what I have learned in searches, they will never be able to do self driving, but regular autopilot driving be on par with the advancing AP...

    Future resale value of Model 3 vs older Model S

    Assuming an equal purchase price for each of these initially, which would you think would have a higher resale value 4 years from now? 1. A 2018 long range RWD Model 3 with say 40,000 miles 2. A 2015 Model S 70D with say 75,000 miles Your opinions would be appreciated!

    Existing non-owner reservation vs new owner for short range?

    I've had my Model 3 reservation for about 6 months now, and am waiting patiently for short range. Recently my 77 year old dad (after heavy lobbying by me) got a brand new Model X! I've read that reservations can be passed to family members, so I was wondering - if he reserved a Model 3 as an...

    Reserved today

    I know I am late to this party, and EVERYONE on here will get their Model 3's before me, but I'm still pretty excited to have finally made my reservation! Realistically though, when do you think a non-owner, reserving now, in the mid west, will get their M3? Late 2019? 2020? Never?
