probably gonna be $45K+ here since incentives were axed
wonder what the reliability/maintenance is like on a Tesla
jalopnik worked out the leasing to be $250/mo...and leasing is arguably better for EVs
went on a Tesla factory tour while I was in San Fran with the wife. her friend took us in.
gotta say, i am interested in tesla's after the factory tour. and excited for this model. it was interesting on how they designed to allow 5 passengers in the back. though not sure if that made it into the tesla 3 models
hopefully the price will drop to roughly 40k mark. 45k still sounds too high.
during the tour, the tour guide mentioned that tesla has strategically placed their chargers around united states and i believe some in canada. i think he mentioned one was in squamish. a full charge in one of these stations by tesla would only take 40 mins. he didn't mention how long it would take with a normal charger.
i think if these vehicles make it big in canada and they can put more of their chargers in strategic places, it would be awesome to do a road trip in the tesla.

is there an online map of all the ev charging stations available in bc? i've seen them at malls like central city and brentwood, mountain co-op outlets, and some of the condos downtown have them but the latter is for tenants only...

i think the new west city government building has a few...seen quite a number of 'leafs' being charged
Damn that Model 3 looks great. Hope it's available with those wheels.
I've been watching TSLA stock for a while now. It's been taking a beating lately because of oil prices. Nearly hit $260 in November and currently $193. Investors speculate that there will be less demand for electric cars if gas prices continue to fall.
Supposedly this is to compete with the BMW 3 series within the same price range.
What do 3 series go for these days? 40-50k?
Seriously considering this to be my next car, haven't done any research on km's on a full charge though.

the regular EV charging stations you see at brentwood and what not are not the same as tesla charging stations. from what i understand, the tesla chargers can charge a full charge from empty in 40 mins.
that has a map on where the superchargers are placed. unfortunately it seems bc only has 3 and the rest of canada doesn't have any. but the US is loaded with em.
as for a map of the regular EV chargers, i have yet to find it.
there are different versions of the battery that you can buy when you get a tesla. but the biggest battery can last ~470km according to their site.
Once they get charging times lower (say, 10-15 minutes) which I am sure will happen given enough R&D into the battery technology, I would definitely consider this as a daily driven second car. For long trips and such where infrastructure is uncertain (like rural areas) I'd keep a gas-engined vehicle around though...
