Forgive my childish excitement but I've just ordered a Model 3 (LR) and needed somewhere to shout about it (my wife couldn't care less...haha). Obligatory screen shot below
Options I chose:
- Long Range AWD - I test drove the standard range and was really quite surprised at its turn of pace. Certainly a step up from my current 3 series touring and probably similar to my previous M135i. I really enjoy the AWD in my current BMW so was keen to retain this aspect. Also the additional performance of the long range was too tempting to ignore.
- Deep blue metallic paint - the only bit my wife had any interest in! Despite my current and previous two cars (M135i and Clio 200) being blue, the somewhat limited choices on the Model 3 led me again to blue. I didn't click with the white test car, black I thought would be constantly filthy looking, grey just a bit bland for my liking and red not my cup of tea. To be honest, colour was near the bottom of my list of priorities.
- 19" alloys - contemplated the standard alloys but personal preference I think the larger wheels suit the car better. I was prepared to sacrifice a little ride comfort, although reports suggest the 19" wheels are fine.
- Tow hitch - primarily to increase the versatility and mitigate some of the lost space when trading in my current estate car. I occasionally take my bike away and whereas I appreciate this could be done with a roof rack, I would prefer to have the bikes out back and leave additional space on the roof for a box to carry additional luggage. Probably an indulgence but equally didn't want to be stuck with an impractical car, especially since the tow hitch can not be fitted post-build.
Question: When I log into my account it's asking for delivery location. Is this presumably my local (Leeds) Tesla depot or home address?
