Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

[Blacktes24]

I totally understand where you are coming from talking about the C8. Part of my decision on the M3P was having a car that was practical again. I currently drive an ND2 Miata. Although I love the driving characteristics of the car, it's highly impractical. The M3P kind of checks all boxes. It's quick AND practical. Not having to go to a gas station is just another perk.

Yup I like the performance aspect and it's practical. It won't be my daily but I know I will drive it way more than the Z06 I just sold.

No gas is a bonus but I'm amazed they are going to sell an electric car without a charger included. I can't imagine buying a new macbook and them saying you need to buy a charger for it.

Other thing I didn't realize when I ordered was how much the performance drops off when you get 60% or less state of charge. I mean it's a decent drop from 100-60 but falls hard at 60% and lower. ICE car is going to be same all the time. All these things have me considering cancelling or maybe buying and flipping it if people are paying more for them than they cost new.

 

[Blacktes24]

I mean yeah, I can afford that 400$ charger, but is it right? JUST STRAIGHT CAPITALISM LMAO That is like almost one days worth of work for me, still not right TESLA did that.

I just think it's BS selling an electric car without a cord to charge it. lmao. I can't imagine buying a phone or laptop and the companies not including a charger/cord.

Ever so slightly faster 0-60 and 1/4. I think they are 2.9 0-60 and 11.2 or so 1/4.

Tesla would be more practical as it's AWD and can be driven all year. It's not my every day vehicle so not the end of the world on that but would be nice.

Only thing is how much is a new macbook charger? or Iphone? lol Straight Capitalism on both sides, $400 for a new charger, might as well just add another 100 and buy the wall connector

Facts, so it wont even come with the basic gen 2 connector right?

I am about 2 weeks away from EDD period which is May 2- June 6, any luck I get my VIN soon?

A proprietary connector to boot.

How much is a macbook compared to a model 3 P?

 

[RoBoRaT]

We should be grandfathered in with chargers, right?

Prolly not, unless you already have a VIN before the *sugar* took effect.

The Monroney sticker for the particular VIN will state if the Mobile Connector is included.

Point is they both should come with a charger! SMH LOL

 

[Blacktes24]

and thats the beauty of the tesla. it will run consistent times being awd even on the streets. c8 needs to have grip and I'm amazed he didn't even burn out before the run to make his tires sticky.

I agree they should both come with a charger. I'm the one who said that. lol

 

[S54Chris]

Mine came with the charger. Panels were also perfect.

Ceramic coated the white interior twice and swapped out emblems when I got home.

I hope so brother. My OD is 3/7 with the exact same EDD as you until 2 days ago when it changed to May 28 - July 2 also from California.

Alright… where’s my 4/18-5/16 EDD peeps at? Still no VIN here… curious if anyone else’s EDD changed or still stuck on 4/18-5/16.

Exactly. The C8 needs perfect conditions and circumstances to perform it's 2.9 to 60.

Yikessss. I would rather not get an update than to get that one did you do anything to your order like changes? Or they just hit you with a month push back?

 

[bchamba]

No update in south Florida for a month

White/white no FSD

OD: 3/11
3/11: EDD1 May 20 - Jun 24
3/18: EDD2 May 6 - Jun 10

 

[tone228]

11.5 is quick. I don't think I've seen a Model 3 run lower than 11.7 anywhere.
