Tesla Model 3 - are you buying?

Naysayers don’t want progress so facts will never convince them. Hence i won’t post about why electric cars are superior to gas and the amazing crash in solar panel prices.

this is the first electric car that interests me, although I probably wont be buying another car for quite some time. My 2011 corolla S is paid off and has ~85k on it…. shooting for 250k minimum

I just want the battery pack so I can pull the cells

I’d buy it today if it were available here.

Tesla needs to offer these seats!
Especially for the Model S with ludicrous mode (0-60 in 2.8sec).

NOPE!

Oh you’ll need it if you try ludicrous mode on a curve!

^ The effects of suddenly stopping was rather anti-climactic. :sushi:

$5000 upgrade if you have a P85D Model S. No spaceship needed.

Not at all, i’m gonna build my own then mod it! :slight_smile:

I wonder how many collective 18650 cells BLFers have, we could build our own Model 3/S and drive like maniacs.

7,104 18650 cells in the 85 kWh battery pack.
With the way some BLFers like to overdrive things, flooring the accelerator in ludicrous mode will have a 50/50 chance of instant detonation  “rapid disassembly”.

Sad is the Man who doesn’t long for the sound of raw power under his right foot.

Nothing about electric cars interests me.

Just play V8 engine sounds on the stereo while driving it.

:smiley:

Sync the V8 engine sound effects to acceleration. Bluetooth OBD II module, android phone, car sound system.

It would be fun to suddenly turn it off (or on) while driving past someone.

this why I bought a Fiat Abarth :wink:

To quote Wikipedia

I have to say ‘no thanks’. I prefer a car that has a usable volume of cargo space. If it was a wagon I’d say ‘maybe’. I’ll take a wagon over an over-inflated top-heavy ‘crossover’ any day and wish manufacturers hadn’t decided to spend $billions to convince buyers they want ‘crossovers’.
