is that what you ordered?
i assume you just show up at the showroom and you get to go around the block and not an event like the bmw and mazda auto-x style testing?

the entire setup wakes the whole car up...but for daily use, I would wait for their air suspension.

The nose is still questionable, for sure someone is working on body kit for it.

i wonder how the awd version can do something about the understeer... or will the added weight just make things worse.

If you want air suspension, get the Model S. They didn't include that on the 3 as they are trying to keep the cost down.

Nope, I have a RWD 3 on order.

Musk said air suspension will eventually come in 2018.

White body, black interior, dual motor, air suspension are on my wish list. :)

Dang, my buddy ordered the Model 3 with AWD and Performance Pack.... over $100k before tax BrokeBack

So much for being the everyman's electric car... lol

^ your buddy has way too much money and not enough Auto IQ.

He's a huge car enthusiast and has had everything through the years from a Toyota Tercel to a Lotus Esprit V8 and Porsche 911 Turbo currently... he just wants what he wants. Possibly some input from his wife who is upgrading from an i3.

Too rich for my blood and too much $ in my opinion for what it is... but he's hardly alone and hardly a neophyte when it comes to cars. Keep in mind the Model X is nearly $200k with its option packages.

^ welp, what a terrible life he leads. Must suck to be him.

there's needs to be a new "more than you can afford pal, tesla" meme Kappa

They changed the Model 3 price a few days back to more than 1.5x advertised. Basic is 50k USD now. Not gonna be an everyman's day car anytime soon haha. What a shit sandwich that company has become.

That's strange as their Canadian website still says

Not sure where you got your numbers from but you might want to recheck them

What are you trying to say? Comment doesn't make sense.

Go and design a Model 3.

https://www.tesla.com/en_CA/model3 says "Starting at $45,600 before incentives"

but then you click "Design Yours" and see:

https://3.tesla.com/en_CA/model3/des...ect=no#battery saying $64,100 for RWD, $54,400 after incentives and savings*.

Then it gives you the choice of autopilot for $10,600, and you can't even legally use it yet.

On top of that, the "savings" is based on an estimate of how much you'll save in gas over 5 years, it's not an actual rebate or discount or anything.

:lawl:

^ Wow I had to see it for myself. Using gas "savings" to present a price like that does not sit well with me.

Same guy who said the Tesla Model 3 had Kia level fit and finish on the outside has released the full costing for the M3 and claims it is more profitable than any other EV at 30% while likening the electronic modules like the drive module to be similar to the flight controller on the F-35 jet (Munro does work for the Pentagon)

Isn't the price still the same? The $64k price is with long range battery and premium package. That's like $18k in add ons.

I would imagine any new car company will have Kia finish for sure.

To me Model 3 is like the replica chinese phone in the early 2010, which has a lot more features than big brand flagship, but quality is horrible.

The price of the 3 is not attractive if there is no govt incentive or tax reduction. If you want quality then you should buy the E-pace

yeah, the Short Range model 3 hasn't been made available for sale yet. Currently they are selling only long range versions. The SR version is the one that sells for $45,600. Their base version hasn't changed in price.

Here's the video where they talk about the profitability of it.

TL;DR - for many people, this could easily be —– the best car on the road, at any price
