Dont need to be a professor to tell you this is the model plan for everything.
Get rid of the owners and make everyone rent. Way more profitable.

So another "driver" not paying attention blames the car. Who could've predicted that?

To me that's Tesla beating Darwinism.

Neighbour said that he is taking possession this weekend of his Model 3. Anyone else seen one on the road or better yet, anyone else taken possession and want to offer 1st impressions?

^ Oh my, the whole car looks hideous, not just the wheels. It has no front grill/nose ... looks like Voldemort. Original list of $35K doubled to $70+ ??!!. Rather get a used model S P85!

$35K USD (~$45.5K CAD) for the base model (plus taxes, PDI, etc.), but as another user who posted earlier in the thread noted, the options can add up quick.

^ I think tight fit quarter panel design is an extra $3000 option on the Model 3.

You think that’s bad, you should check out the gap between body panels on a Meccanica <sp?> Solo. I saw a display model at Aberdeen Mall a few months ago and the gaps were all over the map. You’d figure that a display model would be meticulous. Nope.

I'll give the first pic a break since trunk gaps are usually not the same as bumper gaps... but the second one

Hahaha a bunch of CL FS ads are already dropping a couple of grand off their original asking price
