Ludacris is still #1 for me.Pretty sure full blown autopilot has jumped into the number 1 slot for Options/Upgades to be added to my car. Even above upsized battery I think.

I think in Fast and Furious 8 they should have him drive a Tesla... It's being filmed in Cuba so I don't see that happeningLudacris is still #1 for me.
I might do the same for my wife!I wouldn't dare to even get the P model. We have a new teen driver at home. I probably would put my car in valet mode before I let the kid drive.
What does a new teen driver have anything to do with Ludacris? lolI wouldn't dare to even get the P model. We have a new teen driver at home. I probably would put my car in valet mode before I let the kid drive.
For the most part the Tesla experience isn't about quickness, but it's about everything else.

Here's the thing ... the general public knows two things about Teslas, ludicrous mode and autopilot. If you lack either one you're going to see some disappointed looks from people asking about your car.
I hate autopilot. I enjoy driving
But then there are people like me who when they see a Tesla they immediately look for the badge...
"oh, that's an S60... I guess he couldn't spring for the good one."
Don't get me wrong, I love all Teslas and would be happy to have any of them, but as they say "go big or go home"
I've been working two jobs just to save more cash for this so I can finance less. It'd take forever to save up to a fully spec'd the Model S, but the Model 3 is more practical due to it's size and a fully spec'd one is much more affordable relatively speaking. Besides a house, it's still going to be one of the biggest purchases of my life. I, therefore, plan to have it for quite a while and might as well get all the features they offer.
Now a more important decision... is there a "best" color?

I agree with most of what you say, but find it really hard to believe you would prefer to drive a Jeep over a Tesla.When I got my Model S back in 2015 I was extremely hesitant in going all in for lots of reasons. Tesla had a rather unproven track record and while the P85D would have been fun it wasn't the complete sports car that I could justify spending that kind of money on.
I also found the whole decision to be agonizing. Not just which Tesla to get, but whether I should get the best of the new world (a Tesla), or the best of the old world (a used Ferrari 430 or 458). It was going to be a second car anyway since I wasn't about to give up my Jeep Wrangler Unlimited which is the vehicle that I identify the most with. Everyone has that car whether it's electric or ICE that fits them.
I eventually I settled on the 70D, and I don't regret that decision one bit. For the most part the Tesla experience isn't about quickness, but it's about everything else. The adventure of road trips, and the feeling of being in a spaceship. It's about the excitement the night before the major updates. It's about reading silly threads where some member makes a silly bet to pay everyones payment if the update is released on time. It's about bitching about the UI, and all the clocks.
If/when I trade it in on a AP2 I'm not entirely sure what I'll get. There is a massive appeal to the 60D because so much of it is a software flag that you can turn on later. Plus it comes with the 75 battery which means supercharging to 100% of that 60 is fast. There is also the appeal of the 100D with it's massive range. Sure it hasn't been announced yet, but it will be by the time I trade in my AP1 car in a year or two.
I'm sure most of us here look at the badge, but of course it means different things to different people. I would say buying any Tesla is going big. The answer to your question: black.But then there are people like me who when they see a Tesla they immediately look for the badge...

Quite often, I tend to forget this.Besides, when you get your Model 3, it will anyway be better and faster than most other ICE cars on the road and it will be a well considered purchase because it will be kind to the environment and your purse. And most importantly, you can proudly say you were a part of the Tesla EV revolution that changed the world forever. Bragging rights to that - Priceless.
There is a joy of driving , but sometimes you just want to be the passenger, this to me is where APv2 excels .It would be REALLY nice if i could, at the end of my shift, just pull out my phone and tell my car to come pick me up... instead of having to take the bus back to my start location.
Do you really think people are thinking of AP being a solution for bumper to bumper driving?
It's really sad that Las Vegas doesn't have a sufficient public transit system. But it's equally sad if bumper to bumper traffic is the primary reason you drive a Tesla. It might be cheaper to move closer to work so you can walk or ride your bicycle. And if the traffic is really that aggravating that you would rather someone else drive you, then maybe you should try to find a job in a more commuter friendly place.Yes because when someone is trying to commute to work through heavy traffic its so practical to walk to a bus station, ride the bus through the same heavy traffic, get out far from work and walk the rest of the way instead of having a car that could do it for them .. Meanwhile you will love doing this bumper to bumper driving instead.
