I like my 3, but...

I will happily trade up to a 2023 Model 3 if they give it a design refresh! And a sportback (It would cannibalize Model Y sales so I don’t think they’d ever do it).

 

Hihi, haha, you should have lived in Wolfsburg.

I was extremely blessed to spot FOUR, imagine FOUR other
Teslas in the Parkersburg (the only one in the nation) area in one day,
but I was behind the wheel half a day delivering kids to and from practices and games.

Here crossing a Tesla is a joyful event, we wave or flash high beams. We also tend to
get coal rolled. I have developed a strange new reflex, I see duallies and I hit the recycle
the AC. Others weekly predict the demise of Tesla to which I placidly reply "Death to the horseless carriage!".

 

How did I guess you were SoCal before I looked?

 

meh
Even if they sell 5x as many it's still a fraction of the number of identical F150's sold

 

there are so many teslas where I work, when we're all parked at the chargers, its hard to know which is yours

I added some chrome-delete (small enough) so I can quickly know which car is mine.

its a funny 'problem' to have.

I live in the bay area, home to the most teslas world-wide and its something like 'every 5th car on the road is a tesla'. its so commonplace, now, in this area. kind of good, but it does make it harder to find your car in the lot, now

 

Wonder if people will ever play "Slug Bug Tesla" like they do with the Beatles.

At the delivery centers the reps will hand you a fob. You press the fob to see which Tesla in the lot is yours.

 

If the 2025 still looks exactly like the 2018, your resale value will be higher. You’re asking for obsolescence in a way. As the owner of a 2 week old 2020 M3 I’m happy to see them roll the same design off the line for at least a few more years!

 

Hahaha. I don’t think we hit the 70’s punch buggy status yet, at least not nationwide. Over here on the east side, 3’s are around, but they’re 90% dirty as hell and base models. I wonder if there some secret Tesla only dirt road they all use around here, lol.

 

I had visions in my head of you and other Tesla owners pulling over onto the side of the road and giving each other hugs

Here in So Cal I would be lucky if I didn’t see at least 10 Teslas in a day. Heck, there’s already 5 or 6 in my apartment complex alone. And it doesn’t help that I live right by two supercharger stations.

 

That’s why I love my red m3. It’s rarer. At the gym today there was 3 black model 3, 2 whites, and my 1 red model 3. Funny thing is I parked next to a white and black model 3. It was cool. On my SoCal commute I typically see white and black.

 

Yep. Besides, a lot full of M3's is a beautiful sight.

 

Yup each m3 is one less exhaust spewing pollution causing machine.

 

Probably nicer than honking the horn is to use the app to flash your headlights.

I bought my Pearl White before it was made a standard color. Now in Bay Area I’m surrounded by a sea of white Model 3s, MS and MXs. Hope they change up the free standard color soon. Whites been popular in hotter climates so will always be a popular choice here but I’m thinking the wave if Pearl Whites is more budget related these days.

 

What I did was install the front plate on my 3 to quickly tell it apart from all the others

 

So what, if you go to a German parking lot they are all BMWs and Audis. Or even worse... in north Australia every car is a toyota land cruiser.

 

Get a vinyl wrap of a color that Tesla doesn't offer.



Now if they would allow you to customize the car color and wheels for the on-screen displays...

 

Need a wagon...

 

We stopped doing the ' Tesla Tap" back in 2014...way too many Tesla's in CA.
