    I'll sum up 11:33 minutes of vid into a few sentences. It pays ( paid) to wait. The old adage from legacy manufacturer days of never buying a first year vehicle still holds true today. Seals, roofs, gaps, paint , seats have all gotten much better than initial Model 3 production. Early adopters always beware. I went from a LR RWD to a AWD DMP and the differences over two years are dramatic.

      savagecub no, I paid $15 k less than what the original Model 3 Dual Motor Performance sold for ($82k) in fall 2018. My LR RWD was more than my Model 3 DMP.

    For what it's worth. I visited the Stockport, UK Tesla outlet the other day. just to look around. I strolled around the new cars waiting for delivery and even though i used to be a car salesman so have the "eye" for these things, i couldn't spot a blemish, dust spot or any panel misalignment on any of the 5 M3s sat there. The lady inside says she reckons about 2 in every 50 cars need any form of aftersales attention at all now. Almost all of which is a while you wait quick buff or 5 minute fiddle by the technician. Noticably better quality than even late last year. They cetainly all looked perfect from what I could see. Several transporters were coming and going, and they all seemed to have older model x cars on. not sure if they are being collected for service, end of lease or whatever.

      It's an admirable package of technology, but by your own words of *BUILT*, you need to stop gagging on Elon there bud. Their build QC is in the malaise GM range. It is unacceptable, for the $50,000+ you pay them, for Tesla to regularly deliver cars with body panel gaps in excess of 1/4", with body panels whose paint obviously doesn't perfectly match, and with fit and finish that would make a 1981 UAW worker blush. Yet they do. Worshiping them as if they can do no wrong doesn't incentivize them to improve.

    I think their pricing and ordering on line is very misleading. I wanted a model 3 and went on line. The price shows $35,960 for the SR+. With an *. When you go to the the * they are showing a price with "potential incentives and gas savings". They show gas savings as $4300. The actual price of the car is $39,990. They do this same trickery with the monthly payment as well, showing the monthly payment with built-in savings due to estimated gas savings. Am I missing something or is this totally deceitful? They should just show the price of the car and the correct payment.

I would not be surprised if they made more than one type of chemistry, and more than one kind of format, at least in their labs. We'll see what makes it into vehicles and powerwalls/powerpacks/megapacks.

    correction: early models that bought "FSD" on 2.5 hardware still have to pay to upgrade to HW 3.0. Not as much as someone now paying to get Advanced autopilot/FSD but still a cost to change up. I have a July 2018, I bought the full spec LR RWD (at the time, before performance and AWD were announced) and I still had to pay an extra 3k to get the 3.0 cpu which was installed last week. (2k if you bought early discount) and now is a 5K option to older models. But it's great that Tesla doesn't go by the "build it and forget it" model everyone else goes by. The fact that the new cpu slots right in the same port but is magnitudes faster and uses less power is why i love their thinking and design. The free upgrades I've received since new are just staggering! The VW eGolf i had previous was outdated before it left the lot and was no different 4 years later..

      Not in Canada... It's an almost $11,000 upgrade if you got Autopilot but know FSD update. Glad I passed since apparently such FSD won't be approved for another 5-6 years, and my 2018 will be a 8-9 years old by then and I will have moved on to a future Tesla or other EV by then. Hahaha.

      not denying the good or ignoring bad realities, mileage and freezing door handles are a few things displayed on you tube, personally don’t own one also not a stock investor, love all the marketing tactics though, unfortunately these cars are not meant for average people, seeing the possibility of having diesel operated things such as construction trucks and big boats switching to electric is more exciting, planes would be very special as well, luckily battery technology is improving by the day, sadly that means all these Tesla’s etc will be less appealing unless designs will allow for upgrade options of coarse

      You forgot cycle life, and C rate. All of those are nice to have. For cars, price is probably most important, but for robotaxis, and semis, cycle life is huge too. Weight is most important for planes, but helps cars too, and motorcycles a lot. C rate helps charging speed, but when the pack is big, you can already charge pretty fast. For stationary storage, cycle life, and cost is most important. Obviously, it shouldn't catch fire.
