At Watertown now and spoke to a service tech who is over there a few days a week training people. They had to replace the heating system and it is a leased location so little red tape on that. But...plan is to open within a month! Great news for us north in NH and ME

This may be the new architecture but definitely not the new cell chemistry. Expect ~30% greater battery size once new cells are able to be used. It looks like ~130D may be upper limit for a while after GF gets cells produced. This could hit the 400miles/charge

We will have the hardware capable for full autonomy in the Model 3 but it will probably be a few years for the software to catch up and of course government slows everything to a snails pace so who knows when they will approve.

Even it tesla hits 200k US sales before M3 production....they could still have 300k+ US M3 owners take the credit in some form. If they hit 200k US sales on October 1st 2017 and they begin M3 production at that point, Tesla has 6 months of full credit M3 production, 6 months of half credit and...

I am unable to located my common_uid for both of my model 3 reservations. I only have the UID and RN. hmmmm

I would say that for most companies, "death marches" would indeed cause failures on many levels. However, Tesla is not like most companies. In fact, it is very unique as to not only the extreme loyalty of customers and "cult followers" but I would venture a guess as to the unwavering loyalty...

So many out there keep trying to beat Tesla down and say "they can't do this or that", "they will fail", we will spend big $$$$ to see him fail....haven't the bears/shorts realized anything over the years. You don't gamble against EM...you will lose. He sets high standards and very lofty...

Remember, during the reveal part 1, EM said that 215 would be the absolute minimum and they expect to do better than that by launch. I am guessing when the model 3 hits production the base range will be 220-240 with the larger battery getting 280-300. Anything over that and I will be impressed.

He is one of the few CEO's who admit when mistakes are made and very rarely make the same mistake twice. I fully believe him when he says "It would be unwise to short TSLA". There are so many who do not want Elon to succeed and will bet big money to see him fail. I think that only drives him...

I believe Fremont has the capacity for 5 lines (don't quote me on this). At 2000/line/week that would get to the 500k/year capacity Elon needs and we know Fremont is capable of. With 5 lines, It would make sense to dedicate 1 line each to S and X with 2 or 3 lines for the 3. This would be...

east coast, non owner, 2 model 3 reservations, $55-$60k price point, and $40-$45k price point. I think there is a very good chance I will get the full credit for both. If CA passes legislation regarding no sales tax for those who choose factory deliveries....I will certainly do that to even...

Or maybe in line with the pricing structure of the model 3.....options will be ~1/2 that of the S/X? Hey can't we dream....$5k ludicrous upgrade. YES PLEASE!

I think it would most likely be P70DL or P75DL, won't have ludicrous on base model. I wonder what larger battery size will be? hmmm

By mature, I mean the foundation of their business is complete and the investments being made are not necessarily in major infrastructure (although new facilities may be in order) but in "new efficiencies, new designs, new products, new technology". Also, $16B is a small fraction of what GM's...

I think people have to remember that the American auto industry is very very mature. They have had decades of mass market sales and thus have already gone through the initial capital intensive phase. Tesla right now is losing money yes but that is needed to build up the infrastructure to...

As Elon has mentioned more than once, level 4 autonomy will be available in ~2 years (same time M3 will be produced). With another 1-2 years for legislation to pass. Now with that being said and after doing research on the software aspect, I think 2 years will be plenty of time to have the...

I own a Prius and paid $15.97 for 421miles (today)....So yea....ICE vehicles can do that.

I think this current Model S refresh is 1 of many prior to the model 3 going into production. This is a car company that doesn't wait every year or 2 or 3 to make their cars better. It is done many times/year and in big ways. Expect many new announcements for the Model S and X before the end...

Charge $2k for base battery and include in larger batter options. Simplest and cheapest way to deal with the supercharging. Tesla should not change a thing. And don't be naive....the supercharging cost is "built in" to the larger battery options (it is not a separate clear as day fee). I...

I think that many are looking at supercharging the wrong way. They are looking at the $2000 or so supercharging activation cost or w/e it is or will be, and saying that will not pay to support supercharging for all the Tesla cars on the road. Look at it this way.....Tesla had to buy a factory...

I would assume $65k ish is the fully loaded price tag. I am planning on spending $55k

Elon just tweeted....almost ~200k reservations.

Got my RN finally. Just kept refreshing every hour or so lol. Received email last night. Now the waiting game for Unveiling part2 :)

My RN#'s just showed up. The reservation will show up after clicking My Tesla. just keep hitting refresh every so often as I did :) with over 150k reservations....they are probably playing catch up.

wow Quant. you really need to chill. Very rude.

Speechless!!!! and over 115k reservations in under 24hrs! Well done Elon....well done

WOW...even if it starts at 11:45.....Id consider it an early start compared to usual!!! So excited

OMG....it may actually start on time!!!

video is already buffering on and off sporadicly.....

unable to access any other part of tesla website...keeps redirecting me to model3 unveil page

Received email 30min ago...mytesla still not showing RN

Natick,ma 10:20ish am. Reserved 2, nothing in mytesla acct yet

Over 100 at Natick, MA location. Checking in excited as ever!!

same here. 2012 Prius plug-in. want more range with a hell of a lot more pick-up when you hit the gas haha

Unless a majority of all Tesla owners use the SC for daily charging......the $2000 for activation more than pays for the SC install, maintenance, electricity. There has been plenty of math put out there on the forums as to cost of SC's and Tesla is making money on the SC activation cost and...

East coast. $55-60k budget. Optimistic for first half of 2018. Will pick up at factory if there is no CA sales tax imposed and pushes timeline up a few months.

Hey everyone, My name is Chris and I live in Hampton, NH. I am a current Tesla/solar city investor. I will be camping out at the Natick location March 31st to buy 1 or 2 M3s (if wife approves haha) I am a huge fan of Elon Musk and all of his endeavors....spacex,tesla, solarcity, MCT, electric...

I will be at the Natick location March 31st. Not sure on time yet. I am taking whole day off though because I am sure details will not be announced until last minute. Super pumped! Now trying to decide if I should put down reservation for 1 or 2....

Those who think they don't make enough money to take advantage of the tax credit should consider drawing on their IRA's in amounts needed to take full credit. That is what I am doing for buying 2 M3's (highly optioned to ensure greatest possibility of early delivery of course, for whatever it...

There will be lines, and there will be more deposits than most expect. Many who put down deposits will be trying to get the $7500 tax credit or a good portion of it. I expect there will be some who put down deposits with no intention of buying (artificially increase deposits to increase stock...

Elon has said many times that super charger access will be free for life for all Tesla vehicles (current and future models). The cost of super charger access (already built into the cost of vehicle) is significantly more than most people actually use so they are not losing money on the...

Tesla will be investing heavily in support structures as they have shown recently. I am in no way concerned that in ~2yrs they wont have the necessary super chargers or service centers to handle the START of deliveries of the M3.

Im expecting to pay $50-55k before tax credit and I hope to get the max credit at $7500.

Im expecting the reveal to be 3/30 with store reservation opening morning of 3/31 so I will arrive 1 hr early JIC. I will be getting a decent optioned 3 so that should help in delivery to max out tax credit.

We have to remember that yes this is true currently, but as time progresses, so will technology, scaling, basic economics. That $50k 20inch flatscreen plasma tv when it was first introduced.....is now $2k for 75in and is LED. This will be the same with batteries. The price will continue to...

I want to make a trip non stop, and every 20-30min spent waiting for a charge is technically time wasted. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of a few. I guarantee most EV owners will want the convenience of traveling anywhere they so chose without the need to "locate the nearest...

two guys were taking the plastic off the chargers today, as well as removing the caution tape and other equipment. They said the chargers would be ready by this weekend.

Transformer is there as of today. Didn't have phone on me as I drove by at the time but it is there....I'll try to get a photo tomorrow

AMEN!!!

Its starting!
