Its no coincidence that like 7 out of 10 cars in Richmond are white.
I regret getting white myself.

The long range battery for 12k is a pretty ridiculous asking price.

I also wonder how long it takes to charge it, and how much heavier the car is.

Tesla not fairing so well in the markets recently. Quote: |
Moody's downgraded Tesla's credit ratings Tuesday and changed its outlook to negative from stable, citing "significant shortfall" in the Model 3 production rate and a tight financial situation.

$65k for a Model3 hahahahahaha there's going to be a lot of pissed off people who can't do math and don't understand exchange rates or are automobile n00bs and don't realize how shafted Canada almost always gets on car prices... they all thought they'd be buying an electric for $35k... that's a fucking ridiculous price...
The 'entry level' electric car... entry level for who?
"But I'll save gas!"
Buy a Civic, better build quality and you'd have to drive it around the world 10 times to even come close to spending the difference on gas.
Tesla's sales model for cars is a joke, good thing it's an inside joke since they're actually a battery company, not a car company and that's where they're going to make all their money in the future -- selling battery systems to everyone as all the other manufacturers convert.

Well, you can't get negotiate the prices on new Teslas because they don't have dealers. You just pay the MSRP.

clearly with some options and the canadian exchange rate you're looking at closer to 50, and in the case above, 65 rather than 35 and a few thousand of options.

I think the long-range battery is pointless unless you want to go on a road trip past chiliwack/bellingham/squamish.
If you can get past the looks/brand image, the bolt/clarity seems like the better buy.

I regret getting white myself. | That's how Tesla does colours. A friend bought a Model S and here's how it works: You HAVE to pick a colour and you HAVE to pay for it. There's no default colour or $0 option. If you want a Model S you have to pay for a colour. If you don't pay for a colour you don't buy the car. Simple as that.

And theirs this: Tesla Bankruptcy: Why This Wall Streeter Thinks It Will Happen | Fortune
Also all the Tesla model S cars p100, p90, p85 have the same size battery pack. They just gimp the battery with software. Wonder if it's the same with the model 3.

If Tesla did leave the market for whatever reason I would think the value of the existing cars would tank even harder than if a conventional car manufacturer disappears (ie Saturn or Pontiac). $65k for a stepping stone car that may end up worthless seems like a bad idea to me, unless you're so loaded it doesn't matter.

Damn, that's not an economy EV at all. A fully optioned Accord is like CAN $42k MSRP. Quote:

If I have to get a short-range EV, I think I will pick the e-Golf, which looks exactly like a Golf, just with shitty looking wheels(easy to fix anyway). The new Leaf doesn't look terrible, either. Quote:

If Tesla tanks, yeah that will be different. Good luck finding parts for it.

$20k in options is what's pushing it to $65k

yes, if 60k, I would buy a pre-owned one from Tesla. Also, checked out some used Nissan Leaf and they have changed battery before 40k km.
