"81.9% of July 2017 vehicle sales in Alberta were trucks."
Say what?

2. Tesla is not perfect; do you think Jag or Audi or MB will be perfect in model year one of a new electric vehicle? Do you think they will support any issues that do arise, the way Tesla has so far (think drive unit replacements)

While we're discussing Model 3 … I'm waffling between [buy a cheap, reliable used car] <---> [wait for Model 3]. On the one hand I've already done just fine for a year and a half without a car at all. On the other hand it is super inconvenient, and I have to keep getting rides with others. And I like to get up to Edmonton regularly, which requires taking the bus. Buying a used car now seems like giving up the dream though, and it'll eat into Model 3 savings big-time. Used cars may cost less, but insurance sure doesn't, and winter tires, gas, oil changes, etc will all add up fast.
All good points .... but depending on how old the used car is vs the rental, you could save money on gas too............Far more reliable than a cheap used car, and gas money is gas money.
I was just in Edmonton and a 3 day rental (Thursday through Saturday) was $82.83, taxes in, for a “standard” vehicle out of YEG, which I thought was a surprisingly good price. Ended up being given a Ford Edge, as a free “upgrade”.if you only need a car for the occasional trip to Edmonton you might want to consider just renting one. it would not be as cheap as a bus ticket but it would still allow you to keep most of your savings in the bank till a Model 3 is available. A $50 - $75 per day rental is a drop in the bucket compared to a $ 50k model 3. Plus No tires, no service, no repairs to worry about. Far more reliable than a cheap used car, and gas money is gas money.

Wasn't the original timeline "Production by the end of 2017" and the fact that they got the car out in (limited) production by July/Aug actually on time or even early? [correct me if I'm wrong]I think the 3 production ramp is probably only a month or two "behind" the July (which was optimistic in itself) launch schedule, so I think we're in good shape.
Awesome! Congrats!Well the appointment is now confirmed this weekend we drive to Calgary and look at a CPO Model S P90D, if the car is in perfect shape as per the advisor I talked to ,we will be buying the car.
They don't but if you know the location of the car your interested in Tesla puts you in contact with someone at that location. So far they have been extremely helpful answering questions and flexible on what time and date we can see the carI've been told that Calgary does not have the facility to carry CPO cars yet?
Went and drove from Edmonton to Calgary to look at the CPO P90D and we able to drive a 2017 100D from the store to the service center , I didn't realize till Tesla told me that at the moment you cant test drive a CPO and that you buy "as is" with whatever warranty was left, but they did say they would to a though inspection of the car. However we found a lot of rust color spots all over the back half of the car that appear to be under the clear coat as we could not feel them when you ran your finger nail over them. Thinking the day was a waste the Tesla rep said lets go and drive the 2017 100D some more and we did and wow was I impressed and so was my wife. To make a long story short the tesla rep said they could see what kind of deal they could make on the 100D we test drove and boy did they ever ,looks like Ill have a 2017 100D sitting in the driveway shortly. Tesla knows how to treat customers unlike other dealerships.
