This isn’t eBay where a thumbs down will affect your account or make any impact on anything. There is a difference between a wish and a belief that something is true. I disagree with your belief, which is contrary to reality if that makes it clear.

No one wants to hear your well though out and clear logic. They want to have the ability to tell people that their car is a P but only software locked.

Back before the Dec 31, 2018 deadline they guaranteed delivery of orders were made prior to an order cutoff date or they would compensate purchasers for the missed deadline in the amount of the tax credit. It would seem unusual for them not to plan ahead this time around and to decide this...

There's a difference in the amount of power in the Stealth Model 3 vs the AWD LR with the performance boost. Sadly, they are the same price. It'd be better to see about getting an off menu Stealth Y than buying the AWD LR and paying for the boost.

At face value it may seem so but consider that a drop from $3750 to $1875 in credits did not decrease demand (in fact it increased) so why would a decrease from $1875 to zero impact demand significantly? Consider that people are adding options (paint color, interior color, wheels). Even given...

I’m betting most of those were SR buyers since anyone wanting a Performance model likely could get one sooner from inventory prior to year end.

A $1850 incentive will not sway someone buying A car for $60k in either direction. I’m surprised that it even sways someone buying a $40k car.

If Tesla didn’t focus on optimizing their profits, you wouldn’t have the opportunity to buy your SR. They wouldn’t have tanked before releasing that car. Tesla has a history of not delivering ALL cars on time. They don’t have the ability to do that. Too many cars to deliver, though they try...

If you’re happy in a Prius Prime then there is little point in spending more for a Model 3. I rode in them before and they’re great cars in their own right. Admittedly more comfortable which comes with a car designed for comfort and efficiency over performance.

Strange that out of the other 180 days to buy and deliver, it’s left to the last few hours of the last day. This happened at the end of each half year and is avoidable on both the buyers part and Tesla’s, yet here we are again.

It’s the same thing that has been happening every half year since last year. Chaos, people swearing that they loved Tesla that changed. People missing out of tax credits. Etc. In the end everyone is okay once they get their car, regardless.

Definitely a crime issue and not specific to Teslas. An interesting tracker that I just found through searching online, which tracks car burglaries in SF. You can only imagine how much worse that number would be if the scope were larger. "In April, 1,553 vehicle break-ins were reported, or...

Maybe with people changing their minds, swapping interiors will make the decision less permanent. A bit of a hassle but we did find someone who is willing to swap their black interior for our white. We just need to find a date that works for the both is us in order to get it done. We’ll let you...

We have one with white and one with black. The novelty for us wore off and we prefer our black interior. The glare is a bit annoying, even with our tinted windows.

The problem is that outside of the Bay Area and SoCal, sales are not even close to these top two areas for Model 3 sales. The issue is that Tesla needs the rest of the country to buy cars. These two places are already saturated.

We have two Model 3’s, both LR, one Dual and one RWD. I do notice a bit of understeer with the dual, even in mild turns even under a little power, which the RWD does not have. I do often wish that the RWD had a tad more power, and that the Dual drove like the RWD. Between the two, I prefer the...

Whether it’s a good deal or not depends on what you in fact are willing to accept for that discount. Plenty of people have posted that the car received for a discount were demo models or returned. Some have said that the cars were trashed for a significant discount. If I were looking for a...

Many new cars in general (regardless of brand) are repainted after shipping damage. You never know if a past car you purchased was one of those. However ignorance is bliss, because not knowing means the owner never has to think about the that fact. P.s. If you can see metal or a different...

This is sad and Tesla unfortunately it seems that there is no sign of the company turning these failures in customer service around. When we took delivery of our first Model 3 in last May, the delivery process was so incredible. They didn’t differentiate the differences whether you took...

That is the issue. The range is nominal and based on conservative driving. It will work if you drive your car like a Prius, moderate speeds and light acceleration. The types of people who got the MPG rated on the sticker. I found out in practice that I don’t get near the rated range and it’s...

For the sake of people who are deciding. Can you please post something that is definitive that isn’t based off of advertised weights. Last we heard, the MR was a LR with dummy cells in the packs so that they could use the same packs for ease of manufacturing. So now the conversation in this...

Maybe you guys are just shooting the breeze. For what I am reading, you guys are putting too much thought into the advertised weights and making too many assumption based on it. It is allowable for manufacturers to overstate weights in advertising because for one thing, GVW allows for that...

Collectible because it was decontented and there weren’t that many. The other S’s in the same year aren’t collectibles. No. I don’t see any historical case in car history where a decontented model became a collectible. “Hey look what I got in my garage. An old Tesla S with the smallest battery...

None of the companies with cars highlighted here have done anything to convince me that they’re producing EV’s only to keep curious everyday consumers away from EV’s. They advertise these vehicles (which are financially break even for them at best) but only manufacture token amounts. What they...
