Looks good in red, nice choice.
I think if I was to buy in I’d 100% get fully into the Tesla/EV culture. However, I’m just not feeling the 3
And also I don’t have a garage.. lol

The 18" hubcaps are hideous and were removed as soon as I got home. The wheels underneath are actually not that bad looking. Still, i'll eventually be putting new wheels on the list of things to do at some point.

Tesla just called me...."your RHD model 3 is ready to be ordered, you can come and test drive it  "
I asked:"is it dual motor?"
Tesla lady replied: "single motor"
**I hanged up**

I have magic sky control in my benz and it never turns orange in the rain.

This is the Long Range RWD model. Not really worth the USD49k for its build quality, but it is almost tax free in Hong Kong, for HKD385,000 after tax, you can only buy a BMW 320iA.   | |

So far it's build quality is pretty damn good.

Why do they even ship it with the aero wheel covers? It look hideous! Does it really reduce drag and improve fuel mileage or something.

The sales admitted the panel gap problem on the demo car, they said it is fixable in most case, but need them half a days to adjust.

He pointed out that the hood and rear quarter panel were fixed before the demo. I personally do not see any gap issues yesterday, but the door and trunk hinges weren't that friendly.

is performance version a motor upgrade or software unlock?
the sales recommended all software update / accessory upgrade to be done 6 months after buying the car, as it will not be taxed 100% in Hong Kong.
I want air suspension, when will Tesla put it on model 3?

I was guessing AWD version is somewhere in between? like 360hp?
