Thanks! Works for me

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this, but they removed the "Do you need more help" option from the Supercharger prompt (%$#@!). I had to send an email "Home Charging" prompt. I'd love a QR code and/or short URL on each stall. Maybe time for some guerrilla stickers and just do it for them!

True, but there were further lessons. Like needing to totally rewrite the sub-pack assembly code. Should have caught that issue earlier. But, MY will benefit from all pack dev work, since current plan is to re-use M3 platform (thankfully!). Big question for me is Falcon Wing or no. I'd prefer...

I believe tesla.com has a Supercharger section where you can do that. Also the OMC on forums has a lot of information on contacting Tesla folks via email too. Supercharger | Tesla They have a chat feature too.

Agreed, poll is missing the "If I can find a CPO for the right price" option. I bet that would get some votes.

From Elon's Twitter Feed: Q: "Why small trunk lid instead of big hatchback like S&X? I ride a bike not a surfboard :) " A: " Only way to get enough rear passenger headroom was to move the rear roof cross-car support beam. A bike will still fit no problem." Q: "What is Model 3's aerodynamic...

I would like to see an animation from the original to your version. That way you can easily see your updates. Nice work in Photoshop!

Here are some hopes I had posted before M≡ The Unveiling followed by summarizing what the actual Unveiling included over on TeslaMotors.com. I had hoped that.... Supercharger access explained w/ plans for expansion detailed — almost, 2x Superchargers and 4x destination chargers discussed...

It seems that some of the prices of options will be Cost-based, and some will be Market-based. Ludicrous Mode seems like it will be mostly market-based. Because most people want as much range as possible right now, that Tesla will mostly price BP upgrades by cost. But who knows, could be all...

I first read the title as $20K and took it seriously. April Fooled me!

@AndreSF RC's main argument is that once you start saving weight from 20% size and smaller battery pack, there are add-on savings. @Red Sage made the same point you did when I first linked to RC's articles in the TeslaMotors forum (volkerize "Randy Carlson" for articles w/o logging into SA). I...

This is a post in the pinned Pictures section that has an animated GIF of the rear trunk opening:

Definitely will be optional (see above, Glass roof). My wife just wears a hat all the time. But she lives on the Gulf Coast where sun is serious.

According to this post/video there are going to be a glass, body color/metal, and retractable roof options: Glass roof It seemed to me that Elon said the all-glass roof would be standard. Maybe that's still the case, and you may opt for a metal one or one that opens.

I'll try to keep the budget around $50K after whatever incentives I can get. So any of these that fit the budget in descending order of importance. Supercharger access (TBD if this included or not) [$2K] Largest Battery [$10K] Dual-motor [$5K] Panoramic Roof that opens (test drive video...

That's from a Randy Carlson article on Seeking Alpha. http://seekingalpha.com/article/3258855-will-teslas-model-3-compete Here is the original version:

I'll take the "slate" one from the Reveal w/ black/dark interior w/ a panoramic roof that opens. I don't like the wheels, but the rest of this one appeals: The silver from the Reveal comes in a close second.

Direct DC charging usually comes from a Supercharger. There are other DC charging solutions. Wikipedia has an entry: Charging station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia On the condo front, you might have laws in your area that force condos to allow you to install charging infrastructure (at...

200K reservations is not hype or wishful thinking. Elon tweeted close to that number at 10:23AM Pacific: Elon Musk ‏@elonmusk 10:23 AM Pacific "Thought it would slow way down today, but Model 3 order count is now at 198k. Recommend ordering soon, as the wait time is growing rapidly."...

It provides both a sense of space and actual space. The cross-beam center support is just behind the front row. So it's completely out of the way. A lift/hatchback would not be possible. Remember how much drag was better for the Model X too. The glass will block out the worst of the sun, and you...

FYI - SuperChargers don't use a charger in the car, it's direct DC to the battery pack. So you will get a charger in your car for just about everything else.

You can type it using the special HTML character code & #8801; (no space, but & is being escaped as you can see).

Ummm, the Model S has dual motors. Why wouldn't the Model ≡? It adds performance and handling (as well as redundancy, but that use case is pretty rare). The Audi S4 Quattro has all-wheel-drive too. You may not feel it is necessary, but w/ the instant torque and control offered by a Tesla drive...

@Mike K. I don't think it's the price of the car that is holding up iOS integration (IOS is a Cisco trademark). Ford can afford to license the tech. because they can spread the cost over millions of cars not 50,000. A simple, low-tech headphone jack would suffice for me. Then I could get a Sony...

I cannot login to the forums. I can view them, but when I try to login, my session does not start. So I cannot post and I cannot tell what I have read already.

Another point to consider is how often you have a cold soaked battery pack in the morning or ice on the car. If you have either being likely, then having a way to charge the car to pre-condition it is very important. Electricity is not just for driving.

While they were not searchable directly, using Volkerize/Google site searches worked fine. It's just not obvious to non-technical folks. That's why J.T. and I tried to keep instructions on doing just that at or near the top of the main sections. I hope this is just a temporary thing, but I see...

While all of the above is true and to the point, I wanted to address some of the more technical aspects. Tesla knows all of this information: - Current state of charge - If someone is in the driver's seat - What the target charge level is They even know what the likely estimated time of...

I'm with you on the $20K for Signature reservations. So if the 30% also holds that would mean... 20K = 30% * X and so X is about $65K. I hope you'd get red calipers for that :smile:

@bonnie was indeed a proponent of a "Builder" first version for employees. Talk about giving incentives for getting the first ones done! I believe JB was cited in that thread, I'm doing a quick iPad read or I'd look it up.

I don't think the MS demand caused the MX delay. I think they folded in the 'D' to the MS to fill the gap while they battled w/ MX delays. It also had the benefit of increasing performance and efficiency while also putting real miles on the drivetrain for the MX. I am with the hopeful...

I think you can have both. You are making the leap from the Model ≡ Signature is a loaded, more expensive (therefore exclusive) choice to the fact that the press and others will misconstrue the Signature price as the base price. Therefore Tesla is elitist. I understand that some are concerned...

10AM Pacific and still no joy. Will be interesting to see if any upgrades to the forum happen.

My pleasure. I've posted on this several times over at TM forum. I understand why some don't want to use this option, but if they can make it work (storage, capex and financial exposure) seems like a useful one to me. I especially like the idea of upgrading for long trips.

Frees up cash for other options Allows me to temporarily upgrade for long trips Car is lighter, more efficient, and nimble around town Lets Tesla sell more cars People who are lease averse can still buy Protects me against battery tech jumps Sounds like a nice option.

@jkk_ asked what's the difference between production and Signature cars (assuming MS and MX inform M≡)? That information is definitely floating around the Interwebs. From memory you'll get: 1) most option boxes checked 2) special Signature Red (maybe others) paint option 3) Carbon fibre...

& #8801; (w/o space) is one of the HTML characters you can use to get a three-bar symbol. Like so S-≡-X-Y Math HTML Code - Character Codes

@LoL Rick asked, "[Does] anybody know how to get invited [to the Model ≡ reveal]?" That is the question on everyone's mind on this topic! Folks that were invited to the Model X reveal may have an idea, but I doubt there is a hard and fast rule. I would work w/ your local Gallery and see what...

Congratulations Bonnie and thanks for sharing. Twins voted for "The Good Dinosaur" yesterday before I knew about your show-and-tell generosity. Keep Grinnin' and enjoy!

Missed this post before I posted my designated driver offer. I have a loft in the Garden Alameda district if you also want a place to crash.

I'm available for designated driver duty too. I live in the Garden Alameda neighborhood near Downtown San Jose.

Just added this comment to the ones stacking up in the article. Lots of ignorance and negativity, but also a refreshing amount of people trying to set the nay-sayers straight.

Thanks for the thoughtful review @cattledog. Here is my attempt to add to what you started. SOME BACKGROUND I am a strange one as I came to TMC Connect 2015 via a cross reference from the official Tesla Motors Forum. So I am a first time attendee and new to TMC, but have been active in the...

I am game for carpooling. I have a car that will fit four adults (five in a pinch), though the person behind my 6'4" body will have a bit less leg room. I also know a local limo service (my ex's best friend). I can see if they are booked for Saturday night.
