When I first saw pics of the 3, I didn't like it from any angle- esp the front. Also thought the greenhouse looked out of proportion. But, now that I've seen a bunch in person, I actually really like the design. It actually might be one of my favorite 4 door vehicles design-wise now. The ultra-clean and modern design is what does it for me I think. Think red and grey are my favorite colors on it.
Also really liked the interior design when I sat in it. Very zen-like. Dealing with the screen for almost everything would be a downside for me as well though. And the whole Tesla roller coaster would be a bit unsettling. My current thought is that I might be willing to try it in a year or so: -early kinks will have been worked out -The effects of increasing their production levels and handling higher service volumes will be known -Likely lots of little UI improvements to make the singe screen more palatable. The downside will be the loss of tax credits but my guess is that they'll make some changes to packaging / increase the use of referral bonuses to make the total price come close to what it does today. - |

Mine shows nothing. I emailed my sales guy asking if it was applied and he said yes. So at least I have documentation.

Did you use your own referral code? If so, do you see the referral credit on your account?

Yes, and no. Which is weirding me out. And I want to correct it if possible.

Ignoring the lawsuit aspect, this is interesting. They theory is that the Tesla was on auto pilot following a slow car. The slow car changed lanes and the Tesla accelerated into the back of a stopped fire truck. Oops.
Also interesting... Tesla has all the data about what happened - when your hands were on the wheel, when you brakes, etc. https://apnews.com/3f1ac72f186d45cdbfac7dbb04907b11 Last edited by rumatt; 09-06-2018 at 10:58 PM. |

Looks like I drew an IDA that didn’t know what he was doing. On one call with him, he mentioned this was his first delivery in OH...
