2015 Passat Dimensions: 192″ L x 72″ W x 59″ H Trunk 15.9 cu/ft. 2012 Jetta Dimensions: 182″ L x 70″ W x 57″ H Trunk 15.7 cu/ft Will be interesting to see how much TARDIS mode the Model 3 can conjure.

Well the wife has decided that she wants to replace the '12 Jetta with a new '15 Passat TDI. Picking it up Monday. I think this will effectively put the nail in the coffin of the future Model 3 for her. It was already pretty iffy whether the 3 would offer sufficient space to at least equal a...

That is the question, right?! All I know is that if it has less interior room than the current family car- VW Jetta- it is likely we will be getting our deposit refunded. It sure would be nice to have some actual dimensions put out there by Tesla.

As long as they put out actual dimensions for the car, so we can quit guessing how big it is...

I will be dragging it out as long as possible- hoping Tesla can arrive before I have to turn in the TDI.

We are well on our way to the "affordable" $75k Model 3.

Isn't the return period thru Dec 2018? Maybe different for Audi?

I guess you are confident that given your spot in line that the Model 3 will be ready for pick up before the buyback program ends in 2018?

One of the considerations for us is just how big is the Model 3? There's been countless threads and comparison photos on here, but the interior is still very up in the air. The 2012 Jetta has very adequate rear seat room, and I'm hopeful that the Model 3 rear seat is similar in size. We could...

I had an '04 Passat Wagon. That was a great car. My current TDI which is subject to the buyback is a 2012 Jetta. I reserved a Model 3 on the first morning (pre-reveal) after waiting in line. I was about 50th in line at my location. So I should have low number. The Jetta doesn't have to be turned...

Another thread brought up the topic of what vehicle you are leaving when you go to Model 3. I know there were several posters who said they were moving out of the (recalled) TDIs. There are several issues inherent with this unique buyback program and the still-in-the-somewhat-distant-future...

Except that the car won't depreciate. Your value is locked in. You get to use it for free. As long as you don't total it or render the engine inoperative.

Although you don't have to give it back right away, unless you want to. (In the same boat)

Or hang on to your TDI for a couple of years until your Model 3 arrives?

If the code is changed and it's not there anymore, what's with these new reports above?
