It just looks weird. Everything else about it is amazing.

everyone are using an ipad screen as center console nowadays (2017 Audi A4, Benz C & CLA, BMW, Mazda..etc etc)

I hate it too, but you should probably get used to it
At least their screen is much bigger than everyone else :badpokerface:

That model S has sex written all over it.

Hondaracer 04-02-2016 10:35 AM

i'd rather have an ipad i know is going to work smooth/well and consistently than some other 3rd part peripheral which isn't as good of a processor/touch screen

a lot of people i know in finance dont see much of a future for Tesla as an auto-maker, they just dont have the ability to keep up with demand, and even with the new factory, a 3 year wait list is going to be a killer for profit.

most seem to think down the road there will be more electric cars from other major manufacturers but "powered by Tesla" in terms of their batteries etc.

i know a few people with the Model S though and it really does seem like a fantastic car

no one even knows the durability how they are going to be...i really wonder if they have any whistler buyers and how's that going to go in Ice cold weather,or if any Weird issues come up....i guess we'll have some early Testers and see how much tesla hold there value!..

Spoiler!


Did they give you a estimate to when you'll receive the car?

I don't want to be rude, but... does it look like it? Sorry I had to say something.. you're reading the entire email there

bicboi 04-02-2016 08:06 PM

Have one on order as well. I am expecting delivery late 2018/early 2019 based on current information.

Retrac 04-02-2016 08:22 PM

Lol was hoping that wasn't all the information given.

bicboi 04-02-2016 08:34 PM

Sorry Retrac, to clarify Tesla did not state an estimated delivery date. Its more of a wild guess on my end lol.

Retrac 04-02-2016 08:39 PM

Lol I was able to figure that out on my own :drunk:

But damn, no ETA on arrival, you're in this for the long haul eh?

Nlkko 04-02-2016 09:06 PM

Elon said in the key note they hope to begin production late 2017. So likely early 2018 for delivery.

Timpo 04-02-2016 09:52 PM

Tesla is amazing and it is in its own class.

People who don't like Ford, GM and Chrysler are buying Tesla too. It doesn't even seem like an American manufacture...or seems like higher quality American manufacture. Like Apple, Boeing, IBM, etc..

Timpo 04-02-2016 09:54 PM

Is Tesla still owned by Toyota?

this reminds me of back in the old soviet days when people finally able to afford a new car, put in their deposits for a lada, get put on a waiting list, and then wait forever because there is no ETA on arrival...

i don't think there is an issue for whistler owners. there is even a tesla supercharger in squamish:

Parents ordered their Model 3 as well, getting some sort of priority since they are current owners. RHD though so GG...

Friend's Model S I shot some photos of in December:
