I would too. And the endless whining threads about it! Good thing I'm getting PUP for sure, so I don't have to have anxiety about if it's going to be true or not.

EPA cycle is city optimized (where aerodynamics matter a lot less). City cycle gets a 55% weight in the combined number. Even for the "highway" cycle the average speed is only 48mph even for the most aggressive US06 cycle, so it's still skewed toward city. You will see the "highway" cycle the Model 3 (LR) performs better in MPGe 120 vs 110.

Yep, and the difference will be even more stark at normative American driving speeds.
I am so looking forward to a head to head range match at 75 mph, followed by a 100 mile recharge and then back to base.
It won't be pretty, but it sure will be funny.

Especially if the 100 mile recharge takes place at a supercharger station
The Bolt is rated 119/128/110 MPGe. (combined/city/highway)
The M3 LR is rated 126/131/120 MPGe.
And the M3 LR weighs ~250 lbs more than the Bolt, whereas the M3 SR weighs about the same as the Bolt. So presumably the M3 SR's efficiency advantage over the Bolt will be even larger.
I totally called this. A fully spec'd 3 at 67k.Bottom line ... $50,500.
With Dual Motors and Smart air suspension the MSRP will be over $60K
With a “performance version” of Model 3 with Ludicrous mode now pushing $70-$75K
Tesla Model 3 to have smart air suspension with dual motor next year, says Elon Musk
Let's see how Consumer Reports does with Model 3's in their range testing.
If they keep insisting on turning the regen down to its lowest setting, it won't be of much value, unfortunately.
You and a few hundred others
, since there have been numerous polls and threads on pricing since last yearBetter than the thousands of fanbois who thought they were getting HUD and Ludacris at 45k.....You and a few hundred others
I don't even know what that silly word is, as everyone seems to define it for themselves and then use pejoratively to describe others, but I would call those who expected HUD, D, and L for 45k dreamers.
This car is clearly designed to be driven autonomously. If you're driving along and you want to open the window, you have to navigate through a touch screen interface in this car, whereas in any normal car you can just flick down the window button and it'll do it itself right?
It seems to be like putting all of the control on the screen is so people can spend more and go for the autonomous add-on.
If i'm wrong or mistaken, let me know ；-)

You are wrong and mistaken. Windows can be lowered and raised with the flick of a button as with other cars.

Would you please check whether I did correctly on the prices and descriptions? Is the description "Destination and Regulatory Doc Fee" correct? And I notice it's only $1,000, not $1,200 as in current S and X?

Correct. I don't recall exactly when this detail came out, but it's shown in this screen shot of an order page:

Why would you expose yourself to ridicule by stating as fact something which 1) you don't know for a fact, and 2) is easy for others (or you for that matter) to check? Unless the intention is to spread FUD?
Thank you kindly.
If you are parked and you want to get out you have to climb out through the trunk. All of the doors are welded on to save manufacturing costs.
