Report seems a little sketchy, but wow; big if true!

There were a few reports of this earlier in the month. It would be cool if we could get these in the us too soon

I’m kind of in the same boat as I planned to order and take delivery sometime this month. With these rumors though now I am thinking of holding as the rumored features would be nice.

the flip side tho that I haven’t seen mentioned is, assuming this is accurate and the first M3 batch with new features all come from the factory in China, we won’t really have a good handle on why the build quality/spec of these cars are. It would probably be fine but not sure I’d want one from the first batch either...

Hopefully battery day will answer some of these questions on the 22nd

Plenty of inventory Model 3 Teslas in Cincinnati and Columbus, OH.

Also, waiting period for built-to order is 1 to 11 weeks for model 3. (I assume that the one week wait is if you order something that matches an inventory car, you'll get that.)
