I know this is a repeat of an old thread from over a year ago (this revival is inspired by the Model 3 battery pack thread) but the first cars are on the road, we have 21700 batteries powering them and we have insights like these.

Where is the “no” option?

+1

Bort works for Tesla, that's why the no option is missing.

I like the technical concept (on all Tesla cars), but the design isn’t my cup of tea (yet). I have only owned/driven Coupe style 2 doors so far and I am looking forward to a Tesla sports coupe in the future.

Like a new version of the initial concept:

I wish, i sure could use an employee discount :smiley:

I once heard that working for Tesla is like giving up your life to Elon Musk. Work or your life. It sounds like they only want people that devote 200% to their work.

Looks like there will be no on the no option.
This poll should be in the commercial sellers section. :wink:

I see that Bort hasn’t learned anything since the last poll didn’t have a “No” option :person_facepalming:

I have little need for a sedan. I could go for a full size AWD panel van though.

No.

None of the above.

Nope! EV are still in their infancy… Mostly battery recharge time and capacity

Once the infrastructure of charging spots is built up I’d bet that they will increase sales in a very big way.

Prius has been around for 20 years and is very common. Back in the late ’90s there was some skepticism about how they would do but they got over the hump and other companies have followed suit with similar cars.

Once chargers get set up in most major cities I’d bet that a number of other companies will release their own cars. It’s not cheap striking out on your own, but I’m glad Musk is pushing the envelope.

To tell the truth I’m more excited about his home battery setups than a car. Cars depreciate so quickly and wear out. A home setup with efficient solar panels will be very attractive to many homeowners and might well make a house more valuable.

Until I can carry 10, 4x8 sheets of plywood, tow my boat, or cargo trailer with a Tesla, then no. My wife has a Honda Pilot, and even that’s too small

No Tesla for me. I’d want a plug-in hybrid, so I could recharge from the mains, or generate power from petrol if I had to. Bonus points if it has a solar panel on the roof :slight_smile:

Yes, as soon as they bring out the one you can recharge for another 600 miles of range in 1 minute and 40 second version, likely called the tesla 3 petrol model :wink:

Mine should arrive in Q1 2018

no thanks
