OK, as promised, I went through and tuned up a few items (like where it said AWD was a *future* option for Model 3). And added a few things that have popped up. But this is mostly the list that I swiped from one of the earlier links. It isn't Model 3 specific, and it also reaches a bit beyond Tesla. I think it could help folks, and should probably be pinned somewhere. I wonder if TEG could facilitate that? Even better if I had editing ability so it could be kept up to date (when folks suggest additions and changes, as they surely will). But I realize that's not likely to happen for a non-mod.
