    0-60 ludicrous model 3 - How much will you pay and How fast should it be?

    I suppose you would be able to tell the 1 second difference between 2.0 and 3.0 0-60 times as you would any other 1 second differences, be it between 4.0 and 5.0, or 7.0 and 8.0. Whew, say that three times fast.

    Opinion Wanted

    Word is that autosteer is limited to 45mph and under. Is that wrong?

    Opinion Wanted

    It's the Tesla owners' opinion on slow AP function downloads that I was wondering about. But you bring up good points about Seeking Alpha. My focus has mainly been directed toward FUDster attacks on Tesla's environmental benefits. My fear has been such attacks could influence electrification...

    Opinion Wanted

    I'm a bit of a pro-Tesla champion at Seeking Alpha, often pushing back on FUD. But I always strive to be honest and don't know how to respond to one of the critic's biggest criticism; that Tesla is too slow in rolling out autopilot features, including the autosteer 45mph limit. What is the...

    Futuristic Heads Up Display

    I'd love to see this next-generation HUD, especially on the Model 3's expansive windshield. Continental to augment reality on your windshield - Roadshow

    I don't always feel comfortable accepting retailer veteran discounts, especially since I'm not a combat vet. I take them anyway.

    Strategies to Support Tesla's Direct Auto Sales Model

    I realize I'm preaching to the choir, but.. I was at a website where commenters were bashing Tesla's direct sales model. I wrote: If I gave you a great deal for this car, will you buy it today? Never mind how much you want to pay, how much can you afford per month? Can we have your keys to...

    What efficiency should Tesla aim for the Model III?

    What about the greater weight of steel vs aluminum?

    New Tesla brand for model 3?

    Tesla has worked hard to make the brand something to be proud of. I doubt if they will want to dilute that. On second thought though; perhaps putting a lower cost vehicle into the same mix will be diluting the brand. Hmm.

    Poll: How Many Model 3s Will Be Reserved In The First 24 Hours?

    It might be 100K if enough people want to be sure to be onboard for the federal tax incentive.

    Will Model 3 reservations have a noticeable impact on new car sales for the next 2yrs

    I'm waiting and that's saying something! It's time for a new car. It can certainly be said that the Model 3 is already disruptive.

    Conspiracy Theory

    I was reflecting on the dilemma that GM and the other auto manufacturers face in that they must cannibalize their current ICE lines and go EV or go bankrupt. We know that they have, and will, employ delaying tactic. One such delaying tactic: being instrumental in blocking manufacturers direct to...

    Will the base model include Auto-pilot hardware?

    Does anyone have any serious doubt the hardware will be present? Of course it will be. No way would Elon not include it. It would be counter to his philosophy.

    Aluminum or Steel body for Model 3

    A large percentage of the cost of aluminum is derived from the energy cost of producing it. With the cost of energy so low now, I wonder if using aluminum is feasible now.

    Time to go Frunkless?

    Of course, that's really all we have right now. - - - Updated - - - I don't think a shorter back end would be conducive to the low drag coefficient Musk is looking for.

    California DMV releases draft regulations for autonomous vehicles

    Tesla intends to "shadow" what the vehicles response WOULD be if the autonomous features were activated. When the responses become statistically safer than human responses insurance companies and authorities will be satisfied.

    Model 3 positioning and marketing

    Of course, the public doesn't know for sure yet. The question you ask has been the subject of some considerable controversy. However, judging by demonstrated technology and corporate integrity, I believe the Model III will be a very compelling vehicle. I can't say if it will satisfy your...

    Tesla Model III: IronMan Edition

    Hmm, not exactly the look I had in mind. I hope the Model III looks better. Now that I think about it more, maybe an IronMan edition would be better matched with the upcoming Roadster.

    Tesla Model III: IronMan Edition

    I have to tell you. Deep inside Tesla tickles my inner geek superhero- loving streak. I bet that streak lives inside a lot of you also. Given that the Model III lives up to its expectations, it will likely be the closest I'll be able to get to my own IronMan suit. Therefore my suggestion, and...

    Do You Want Basic, Ludicrous Or Something In Between

    I'm not buying the Model 3 to beat a BMW M3. I'll be satisfied with 0-60 just under 5s. That, and to be able to charge up at home with my solar power.

    Elon Tweet: Model 3

    I believe Elon when he says the III is on track. He has to be. Imagine the financial fallout with having a gigafactory with no place to put the batteries. - - - Updated - - - Since I'm not a current Tesla automobile owner, but I am a Tesla stockholder. I hope that counts.
