LR AWD Waiting Room

[iamroy]

Switched my order to DSM.. wife and I saw one and loved it. The blue is awesome too, but can't argue with DSM.

Also re-added FSD. I wonder how many times I can add/remove it before I get yelled at or it locks down.

Wife is having second thoughts on DSM now. Says it might look like an old man's car

I'll hold off on updating the avatar.

Update: back to blue.

FWIW, my neighbor has a MSM, and it indeed is the most boring of all the Model 3's i've looked at.

Well ... I’m probably an old man by your standards - and I ordered Red.

Middle-aged here, and I’m goin’ with the red myself.

MSM/Grey is more for status-seekers and conservative folks, IMO. It’s a color that says, ‘expensive car’.

A bit late to the party, but in the waiting room nonetheless. Really hoping for delivery before I leave town on the 17th of December... will be gone through Jan 1 so if it doesn't make it by then then I am out of luck with the rebate. Website said 5-9 weeks... fingers crossed for all of us!

How does the more muted conservative grey color communicate “status seeker” or “expensive car” relative to the other colors?

I personally associate Tesla with innovation and technology, but for a lot of people I think Tesla still translates to an expensive/fancy car (regardless of the color). They are not necessarily wrong, but I think a lot of people think the Model 3’s are more expensive than they are.

 

[iamroy]

Sorry, I wasn't intending on starting an argument about colors. Honestly they all look badass - MSM just isn't for us.

why are people passing up on FSD -- thats the tech that separates tesla from other luxury brands ..

Because I enjoy driving and didn’t want to prepay for vaporware.

I'm back and forth on it because I feel $6,000 is way too much for beta software. Even if it was finished, full self driving isn't worth that much to me.

That being said, it's pretty cool tech and I love new tech. It's currently on my order, but we'll see if I keep it before I take delivery.

im still waiting for my order to be fulfilled, but:

1. it basically doesnt work as advertised
2. its mostly regulated-against here
3. i wouldnt want my car (mostly) driving for me

Cause right now you don’t get value for your money on FSD.
Love AP don’t see much added benefit FSD brings currently.
The only reason to buy now is a.) support the company’s vision or b.) if you feel the price will increase significantly later.

I agree. If FSD worked today I would almost certainly buy it. However, Elon has been promising FSD is imminent for years. These cars may one day be appreciating assets, but right now they (like any other car) are very quickly depreciating assets. Spending another 6k on my car for the current features, on Elon’s promise that FSD is coming soon, just isn’t worth it to me. If I spent another 6k now and it took another 3 years for FSD features to materialize, I would be pretty disappointed.

I dunno... how does red communicate ‘fast car’ or sporty car? These are questions for a psychologist and/or a marketing expert.

Since you made the claim, i think you carry the burden of providing us an explanation.
