Tesla Model 3 pitched as an 'affordable' electric car
|
I am thinking these might be a car you could flip before you buy it.
|
It's a shame on the shaping, it looks between an Aston Martin & a.......
Vauxhall Astra :2 cents: |

Oh, so Musk finally realized regular people with a normal income would like to drive his cars too?
|
So far it looks pretty nice - and its cool that auto pilot will be available with it. The price seems right too. I'm looking forward to seeing one in person.

Just found this:

That tablet looking instrument board should be able to swivel.
The drive range on a charge is 280+ miles. So, for normal commuting and in town use the drive range is ideal. |
It has a european look to it.
I bet it sells well in europe. It may be this is a prototype and the inside of the production model will be different. |

Say hello to toll booths. The days of paying your way through a gas tax will go the way of the dinosaur.

In the short term though, say GOODBYE to Tolls. Here in Quebec, EV drivers no longer have to pay tolls (but gas drivers do). EV Drivers also get to use the reserved lane on all major highways too. I've always wanted a Tesla Model S and was hoping to get one last year but instead spent money elsewhere. Now that the Model 3 is less than 2 years away, it looks like it might just be my next car if it lives up to the hype. |
This car looks perfect... I love Tesla.
In fact, my plan is to hold onto my Jeep for as long as I can and them move over to either a Tesla SUV or something like this car. If I can hold on to my Jeep another ten years the technology will have come a long way by then..... Tesla is going to be the first to mass produce a electric car and bring it to the masses. |
I'm really hoping Musk succeeds with this new model.
I wonder what that 280mi. range is like at -20c, though. |
They are building a huge plant with Panasonic to build the batteries.
The idea is to lower the cost of batteries. Its the batteries which tend to add the cost to the cars. Lower the cost and the cars get cheap. |

Does anyone make aftermarket parts for slow charging, like a spoiler with solar panels?

nice job. |

The new Tesla has an all-glass roof, and I read somewhere that some brainiac invented transparent solar panels. I wonder how much range a model 3 would gain with a setup like this? Even if it sucks now, it exists, and its only going to get better. I love tech. |
killer design ..would like to buy one some day

I just looked on their map and there is one of the Tesla Supercharging stations pretty close to where I live. I could easily swing through there every few days and charge the car up and save even more on the cost of operation.
|
As oil runs out and prices rise. Electric is a good option.

Besides, why would I be against the model 3? Made in the USA. I'm the guy googling drone flyovers of the giga factory. Trivia: Tesla wanted to name it the model S, so the model line would spell out SEX Model S Model e Model x But rumor has it Ford took issue with the model S name as it is close to model T. So Tesla went with model 3. |
If you test drive a Tesla, you instantly realize the game has changed. No one will ever go back to gas once they get a chance with one of these. I went to the annual car show here and nothing was even close to the Tesla for less then 200k. Now if we can get one for 35k, just amazing.
I did put in an order. I wish they had a few more facts like what it is going to cost me to get the upgraded 3 or even if they will have one. Not sure if matters as I will take whatever. |
Dyna Mo, I am glad to see that this car is not being treated like a political football.

Slapass is right poncabare. It really is special. Go for a test drive and you'll see why some people fall head-over-heals in live with this car and the company. Of course not everything may be to your liking (style, price, whatever) but its still amazing. |

That is not how real deposits work. Although pretty clever from Tesla, since this is fake deposit with no meaning - more people would deposit money and you could tout higher "preorder" numbers. |

Or is it the same thing as apple fanboys specifying "iphone" instead of "phone"? |
Quote:
The Tesla drives better then most cars. It is faster then most cars. It crashs tests better. Gets better gas milage. Has less moving parts. Should be easier to service. Etc. It is better in so many metrics. Granted I don't care equally about all of those but it is a ton of fun to drive. The instant acceleration is really cool. I would equate it to the first time I tried an iphone. The instant realization that this was better in almost every way. |
Future car .but it would be great the roof is solar panel and the battery recharge itself
|
I am happy for all the things Musk does, for a long time.
However I am a huge fan of all these Teslas I will keep driving my Subaru for a few more years :pimp |
