The base Model 3 (not on sale today) has about 220 miles of range. The 3 on sale today is 310 to 334 miles range. That is 75% of the range of the 330i.

We just crossed 1.000 deliveries for this month in Norway !
(125 today.. and still counting !).
As the webpage states the all-time record month in Norway was 1.500 in March 2014. Not at all impossible to reach.
Correct, that's the model that @vgrinshpun compared to the 330i:

Yup, I meant to write "As a matter of fact, the 310 mile-range LR only gets you half way to difference in range of the range of the 330i,"dc_h said:
Thanks for catching that, as it was rather critical for the point I was making.
[/quote]Dead on. And one test drive in Model 3 will motivate 95% of potential customers to dust off their college TI or their smart phone calculator app and start doing the math.

SolarCity to pay $29.5 mln to resolve U.S. gov't allegations
SolarCity has agreed to $29.5 million to settle U.S. allegations that it had violated federal law "by submitting inflated claims" to the federal government, the U.S. Justice Department said in a statement on Friday

Thank you for bringing this information over to us, very helpful.
Any insight as to whether there is a particular push/focus on Norway/Euro deliveries this quarter? I know they have seemed to move away from heavy focus on US/nonUS deliveries from quarter to quarter but I want to be careful of reading too much into the stats.
Would be inconsequential if that were the end of it. But if this settlement puts pressure on SolarCity VIE investors to settle as well and then try to recoup the money through a suit against SolarCity it could end up distracting, costly or both. Typical example of why opaque constructs that SCTY lived (and nearly died by) carry hidden risks and costs for investors. Hopefully Tesla can shed some clarity on the issue in their next quarterly report and then it should recover ground lost over the last days but until then the drop is probably warranted.
Also a little bit too much coincidence for my taste that Tesla started dropping 3 days before this became public at a time it should have been sailing high and clear (model 3 on track, semi event coming up, early signs of S/X deliveries positive,....)
This could be an important move,
"Cobalt industry sources told Reuters that VW, the world’s largest automaker, has asked producers to submit proposals on supplying the material for up to 10 years from 2019."

I still think people won't do the math. However, I do think people will pay a premium for electric drive. I've been wild-guessing that the premium is about $5000, at least in the mid-market. (Maybe higher in the S/X range; maybe lower in the sub-$25K range.) If anyone has any better *psychological* ideas regarding how high the premium is, I'd be interested to hear.
I realize you're a short-termer, myusername, but if that happens (and by "significantly" I would mean under $330) I'll be running... to shake up more cash to increase my investment. My second-to-last buy was at $321.
No, it doesn't work that way. If I'm not mistaken, technically the VIEs were the ones being sued over getting too much money from the government, but *SolarCity* is making the settlement out of its *own* cash, and getting an agreement that the VIEs will not be further bothered by the government over this. This means SolarCity is covering all of it, and the other VIE investors get what they expected to get. All cleared out, all done.
This particular program was a cash payment not a tax deduction so there isn't any arguing over refiling old tax returns.
Not going to argue with that. This one's been in the 10-Qs for years though. It's good to have it resolved.
Somewhere it says he schedules his days in 5 minute chunks?

I had received similar suggestion from another entrepreneur/advisor as well. She had said 15 min though. I don't even use a calendar....
Thank you for making me laugh. It feels great on a Friday afternoon going into a busy weekend.

One of the first Model 3 owners (father of a Tesla employee) has received his vehicle and is answering some questions on another Tesla forum. Being unsure of the protocol here, I won't link it directly, but here's the reddit post with images and links within.
In short, he seems very satisfied and confirmed that the car unlocks upon approach with the phone in your pocket and said he's had no issues. He was also very impressed with the handling.
A few of his responses:
Emotional reactions
Like a dream that you don't want to wake up from!
How it felt when you first got in and drove off?
same as above
How does the steering and handling feel?
It sits lower to the ground than any over car that I have owned. It really hugs the road handles perfectly
How about the sound system
Still trying to figure it out but it sure sounds sweet!
