I mentioned to my daughter and wife about the likelihood of the M3 offering two sunroof options (apart from the standard metal roof). Now they want one, haha.

Do they have $35,000?
I have had tons of bright red cars. 2 Mustangs, 2 trucks, a toyota Echo. All red. The only time I got a ticket was in my black Civic. I don't drive crazy fast usually.
I can't believe the taxes on cars in some states. Texas is crazy cheap for car registration/taxes. 6.25% one time (unless you move here you pay taxes again) then <$80/year. Even our inspections are less than $30/year. Property taxes on the other hand... At least there is no state income tax.
Do Red Cars Get More Speeding Tickets?Red paint = cop magnet pull over. Red is pulled over 50% more than all other colors combined.
You forgot that if you trade in your car in FL, you don't have to pay tax on that amount of your new car cost! So if your trade is worth $20k, you only pay tax on the remaining $15k (base model)When folks talk about inspections, are they referring to general safety inspections, emissions inspections, both, other?
Florida has no inspections, regardless. One-year registration fees are $66.85. There are no state vehicle property taxes. Statewide vehicle sales tax of 6%. Individual counties may have an additional sales tax on top of that, but it only is for the first $5,000 of vehicle sales price (realistically, $75 max for additional 1.5% county sales tax).
Politically, Florida does many things wrong. But tax-wise, I think they get it right. Granted, Florida's strategy simply will not work for most states (but that's why states are allowed to decide how they conduct their taxes...and residents are allowed to move freely between states). Tourists (hotel bed tax, sales tax, etc) contribute a large portion of our tax base so we (the residents) don't have to.

Haha sorrry! My current car is a lease so it'll be pretty useless for trade also. I'm not sure if it'll be worth a payoff and then trade.My car will be worth more to the salvage yards than Tesla.
the BASE pack HAS GOT TO BEAT CHEVY!!
I always laugh at these comments with the "I'll show you attitude". The Model 3 isn't a "sleeper" you built yourself. The Hellcat, 911, and Vette owners, being more likely to be auto enthusiasts, are much less likely to be unsuspecting when it comes to acceleration metrics of other cars. That's especially true for a highly recognizable, mass-produced platform like the Model 3. And debadging ain't gonna hide your "secret weapon" of course lol! The sheer volume of ludicrous optioned Model 3's will have people rolling their eyes in no time at the over-eager, stoplight-racing show offs.I'll take a white debadged P90DL+, or whatever the quickest model is, so as to have as stealthy a Q ship as possible, to blow the doors off unsuspecting Hellcats, 911s, 'Vettes, etc.
Tesla is not a bully. It will not spank other EVs. This is against their philosophy. If GM made 238mi vehicle, then be it.
If Model 3 will be 228mi, then be it. It's just a guidance number. It doesn't directly represent what can vehicle actually do.
Bolt 200mi and Model3 200mi side-by-side will definitely show everybody it is actually possible and reasonable to make 200 mile EVs.
