I hear ya. For us it is starting to be a series of little things that would be a show stopper. These are not necessarily failings of the Model 3 but rather things that are just not in the makeup of the car. Here are a few.
: No all round view camera
: No heated rear seats
: No heat pump
: No heated steering wheel
: No hatch back
: Probably 15 grand more for the Tesla.
I still lean towards the Tesla and the Supercharger network. Angela is leaning towards the long range Leaf. As we will be a one car family within 5 or 6 years there can’t be one of each.we have 2 or 3 years to decide.
Are you a Nissan Leaf owner as well? All of those you mentioned "NO", Nissan Leaf has them all. The new Nissan Leaf looks good as well.
The Tesla Supercharger network is very well positioned and changing price is reasonable. Last year, Ontario government put million of dollar subsides the installation of public chargers. But I really don't understand why Ontario government do not limit their per charge cost, for me those Level 3 chargers are like a rob, they charge 10$ to 20$ per hour. (are we kidding)
Yah. We own a first generation 30 KWh Leaf The list of no’s is what the Tesla DOESN’T have but that we want. Missing one or two things wouldn’t be a show stopper but add em all up and... We are kinda used to some of those things. It would be hard to give them all up.
But I will stick with Tesla, if the public quick L3 charge price not change. Even with long range battery, I need a quick charge on the way to go long distance. But 60Kw charger 20$ per hour is same price as gas.
and that is the single biggest draw for us to Tesla at this point. The reality is it wouldn't affect us that much as we do 90 percent of out charging at home. So from the money point of view not worth it, BUT the Supercharger network is already years ahead of the Chademo network and that means something to us. We'll see how it goes in the next couple years for Chademo DCFC. I glad we have alittle time.
Hey, is that leaf yours?
No, the picture taken at autoshow Toronto past Saturday. But I do own a 2015leaf SL which has all features you mentioned above.
I reserved a Model 3 , when my turn, I will trade in my Leaf. But I think I will miss it.

I'm a late reserver (2018-01-16), but my forecast for dual-motor is "late 2018" - I'd be overjoyed if I got before the New Year! More realistically, I'd be happy to get it by Spring 2019 at the rate Fremont's ramping up.

Aiming for:
- AWD (winterized Gatineau Hills cottage requires AWD to reach in winter = first-world problem)
- SR (120 km to the cottage and back, which is my longest regular drive)
- EAP (too amazing to resist)
- Blue paint
- 18" wheels (w/ aeros OFF unless I'm desperate for efficiency!

It's been mentioned before, the $14k doesn't come off the price of the vehicle. It's a rebate check that you'll get 6 months later if your lucky. So you'll still be making monthly payments on $73k not $59k
If the rebate still exists while you get your model 3 registered, I will suggest financing 14K through other sources for example line of credit from home loan, and pay off once getting it. It matters of time only.

Please feel free to drop me a line when you get your Model. We don’t have to make a decision for a couple years. A lot can change by then.
Thanks.

Time restrictions. After one hour, you cannot re-edit your post.
Looks like the Model 3 is going on display at Yorkdale tomorrow according an email that's going out.

I heard a rumour that first invitations to configure for Canadians will be this month, but I'll remain skeptical until invites are out.

My goddess, I was there on Tuesday, and talked to two reps and both said no idea when Model 3 will display here.
BTW, Model 3 config invite won't come out until Tesla 1st need to be allowed to sell this car in Canada.

Shoot. Yesterday I drove down to Mississauga to get some work done on our Model S. Would have loved to see the 3.
