    Will the Model 3 be Standard with Front / Rear / All Wheel Drive?

    It still comes down to personal preference. My Wife's works involved driving over 150 miles in the middle of the night. We are used to FWD and I feel like FWD offers us the safest drive. I really hope AWD is offered that would be well worth the upgrade!

    Will there be a Ludicrous-type of option?

    Why wouldn't Tesla offer a feature that is pure profit? From a business perspective it seems like a no brainier. Unless for some reason it make the cost of manufacturing significantly more expensive. If they get 10,000 customers to get ludicrous mode on their model that is 100 million in profit...

    Will the Model 3 be Standard with Front / Rear / All Wheel Drive?

    I think this poll would be more interesting for RWD vs FWD. I would guess most people would choose AWD > FWD or RWD. Personally this is my ranking AWD>FWD>RWD since I live in Minnesota where we have snow 6 months of the year.

    [Rumors] Spoke to an Insider Yesterday...

    Do they do that with the S or X? I haven't spent much time on Tesla's site configuring cars.

    [Rumors] Spoke to an Insider Yesterday...

    I know one appeal of leather is it can be cleaned easier. From my experience it doesn't seem like leather ages well. It seems like leather tends to crack and show wear. I know you should be cleaning and conditioning leather every 90 days. At least that is what they taught me when I sold...

    [Rumors] Spoke to an Insider Yesterday...

    I would love a smaller Model X simply for more headroom. I'm not a SVU fan but Tesla's style and all electronic eliminates a lot of the issue I have with them. I don't know how I'm going to wait another month!

    Will the Model 3 be better built for taller people?

    Thanks for the link! This looks promising. Here are some links stating the A4 is a good vehicle for tall people Five Fun Sedans for Tall Drivers Reddit Are Audi Tall Friendly Best Luxury Cars for Tall People. I would guess this statement is more specific to the outside of the car than the...

    Will the Model 3 be better built for taller people?

    I just thought of one way the Model 3 could add some headroom. Manual adjusting seats! Some might not be a fan but without the need of a motor manual seats can sit a little lower (as far as I know). At the 35k starting price I wouldn't be surprised if electric seats are standard. I have no issue...

    Will the Model 3 be better built for taller people?

    I'm 6'5'' I wear jeans with 34-36 inseams. That would mean my torso is 4-6'' longer than yours. I just don't fit well in a lot of vehicles comfortably unfortunately.I'm over the 99% in height. I can't really blame Tesla for not accommodating less than 1% of the their potential customers.

    Will the Model 3 be better built for taller people?

    I haven't sat in a X. I did see one for the first time this weekend at Tesla but they were customer. Sitting in one wasn't an option. Personally I'm not generally a fan of SUV. This probably won't go over well here but I'm a proud mini van owner. It can tow 3500lb, seat 7 and the seats fold into...

    Will the Model 3 be better built for taller people?

    This is what I'm afraid of. I have seen a lot of comparisons to the BMW 3 series and have seen that it accommodates taller people. Elon also said it would be different looking. So maybe the design won't be anything like the Model S. 35k starting is still a lot of money. I have never purchased a...

    Will the Model 3 be better built for taller people?

    We don't and may not know for a while. I do know that I barely fit in the Model S. The Model S is a full size sedan. The Model S is 20% going to be smaller. Hopefully it won't sacrifice any head or leg room. Maybe the design finds a way to add to these spaces. I drive a 2014 Ford Fiesta and I...

    Will the Model 3 be better built for taller people?

    This is a HUGE concern for me too. I'm 6'5'' with 34 inch inseams (longer torso). I test drove a Model S about two month ago and left impressed but concerned for space. I drove one without the sun roof. Yesterday I went back to Tesla and sat in one with a sun roof. I can fit but it is far from...

    Model X windshield on Model 3 - instead of offering a sunroof?

    Please no! I need the Model S style sunroof for headroom. If they do the X style windshield I most likely won't fit.
