I assume this is something you prefer to keep locked in the glovebox? Cause Model 3 has good storage in the center console as well. I still think that you won't mind the 2 taps on the screen for glovebox. It does have a dedicated button in the lower left corner of the "quick controls" window, so it's easy to access. Easy enough that I'd be comfortable opening it while driving, which is something I'd never try with a traditional glovebox.

I’ve given about 30 test rides to engineers and tech geeks. Many had read negative info. Fun to see 50-year old men literally unable to stop giggling. With the exception of one holdout for even better future tech, all want one. About 1/3 are planning/scheming to make it happen ASAP. This is the best answer to negativity. Spread the reality!

I like to keep my interior as uncluttered as possible, and the glovebox is the handiest place in my car for said disc and several other items. If the Model 3 happens to have similarly handy hidden storage in the center console, I of course wouldn't mind using that instead. Can't wait to get my hands on a Model 3 to try it out firsthand. Tried to get in touch with the company that rents out a Model 3 in Germany, but unfortunately they haven't gotten back to me yet.
There are 4 concealed storage areas in console.
Thinking about it, I don’t understand why we still have glove compartments. Now that most cars have center consoles with storage, they seem obsolete. And, another bunch of parts and complexity that could be avoided. Of course if Tesla had deleted, then we’d have another dozen threads

What?????? All the commenters in the Seeking Alpha articles have made millions shorting Tesla (or are you insinuating something?)

They’ve made good money recently but the stock has had a nice run up up and away over the past years.

This just proves the point. Negative news toward Tesla from any twist possible. Reading the news, one would think Tesla is going bankrupt.
I like it. The more negativity the better return I will have on my stock. (assuming the negativity is wrong of course)

I am living a dream. I have a ‘12 MS P85 and a M3 RWD (wife’s car). We don’t have to stop at the gas station! We have been on many trips. The cars have been great. Yeah, there are some issues, but the overall experience is exceptional.
I still find it hard to explain the life changing effects driving an EV has. I refer to it as flip phone vs. iPhone. There were hardcore flip phone believers. It was convenient to open the phone and just talk. But the iPhone opened up a whole new world of possibility -fast texting, internet access, apps, etc., etc.).
I have learned you can only encourage people you meet to learn a little at a time and plant a seed to want to learn more. I have also decided to put more time into kids, teens, college age, and 20 something. They represent future buyers. In general, they are very enthusiastic! The older crowd 40+ are either apathetic or combative (not all, but probably over 50%).
This is a journey, not a one time transaction. The negative news/posters either view Tesla as a wasted simple business venture or fear the change they are bringing about.

Haha! Perhaps a better way to state what s/he said was "the older crowd tends to be more set in their ways."Um...what?!?

I think Tesla is doing a great job with appealing to the octogenarian and older base.
Adding chill mode was a start. I think Bingo will be the next game after Missile Command.

The mode 3 will be selling itself madly... love my S, looking forward to driving my friends P3D soon! The shorts claim no demand, but I know so many people that can’t wait to get one.... looking forward to q3 numbers.....
