Saw a few as well, ugliest $65-70+K car hands down. You should be able to pick up a used one for a lot less real soon after buyers remorse. Provided you even want to be seen in that hideous lookin thing.

Buyers kicking themselves why they didn't get a used model S P85 instead.

honestly I feel bad, who else wasn't caught in that Tesla 3 reservation hype?

about 1/4 of the deposits have been refunded, but the car is still selling

https://electrek.co/2018/06/04/tesla...funded-report/

either way looks are subjective, and the tech-loving Apple crowd that Tesla attracts probably won't even notice the panel gaps

I will at least give Tesla the credit for shipping out without the delays I had anticipated (late 2019 I was assuming for Vancouver, just using Model X as a predictor)

Are people even making any money by trying to resell them or inflate the pricing? According to Tesla website, the model 3 being released is 64k, not the entry level 49k one. That one doesn't get released till next year

Can’t believe Tesla stock has been bumping up so much lately with all the problems... makes no sense whatsoever

The new Leaf isn't bad... the old one I would agree

Very unhealthy behavior. Their financials are terrible. And the after-hours news bomb & dramas. The share buyback from CEOs. Very Enron-like. Their book is probably a mess.

Sad because I still wish Musk to succeed.

Has anyone got the electric Hyundai? My father in law keeps jumping between that and the Tesla, he's shying away from the Hyundai since the local dealers have less than stellar reviews but a) Tesla doesn't have any dealers here and b) what would you even need to bring an electric vehicle to the dealer for? I don't think they have any of the short-life fluids and filters anyways (oil and air).

Been seeing a lot around west end or UBC area. It looks like they took a model x, and squished it. You can even see where it "squished"

If you want to go see one, just go to the parking lot next to Hastings Park Racecourse. The one next to Bridgeview Drive. By the looks of it, that's where Tesla unloads/stores their vehicles. I would say around 100 or more are stored there. Many are still wrapped and there's a couple of tents with Tesla logos there. Dealer prep done there? Anyway..........

Got a chance to look at one a bit more closely yesterday, panel gaps on this particular model wasn't that bad but overall shape is odd. The proportions seems off as it's a lot taller than anticipated. I guess the batteries has to go somewhere so the floor is raised and the roof is raised to accommodate passengers.

All of them was shipped to the PNE from the states. Instead of going to the dealership to claim them they had to go directly to the PNE to claim them. But they moved already because it was costing Tesla 50G to rent that place.

Was at Park Royal and dropped by Tesla to sit in a Model 3, the interior is uglier than the exterior. The dash has nothing except the center console display, no instrument cluster. The steering wheel is so bare, has 2 buttons.

I kind of agree with you there.... But seriously I wonder how the cops will react to this lol. Instead of cellphones , people will be constantly on the touch screen display

Buddy of mine got pulled over for watching YouTube on his dash mounted phone. Said he was distracted. I don't see how this giant tablet is any different. If you stare at the gps isn't it the same ?

Here is link to BC government on what is allowed and what is not when it comes to use of electronic devices - https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/dr...le-driving.pdf

It appears that much is hinged on if it is mounted or not. Essentially, anything that is mounted is permissible except that you need to program your destination on a GPS while car is stopped and no finger texting even on mounted phones (if you have voice to text, I suppose that is legit).

But with all the gadgets & controls of the vehicle on that one center screen on a Tesla, I think that it could border on distracted driving.

I think the simplicity of the cluster and wheel is what appeals to a lot of model 3 owners
