Tesla Model 3 - are you buying?

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’.

Some of the misconceptions people have are mildly assuming. “Top-heavy” has to be one of the best. Since all Teslas have a very low center on gravity.

The Model 3 has a front trunk and a rear hatch. Tesla says it has way more room and cargo space than an engine-powered car of the same size. Though no numbers have yet been released to define “way more” space.

Model S specs

The frunk has to be wrong, 5.3cu ft makes no sense, i’ve seen pictures and its obviously much bigger.
Haters gonna hate, i’ve learned from experience that facts are wasted, hence i don’t bother, when the wave comes they will be the dinosaurs (trying to drive on dino juice)

“5.3” might sound smaller than it looks but it’s cubic feet. And 53 would bring it close to the room in the back with the rear seats down.

That means it can only fit 1-2 garbage bags

Don’t worry. You can fit a body in two garbage bags easy! :smiley:

I have to admit, I have trouble with the idea of giving up dino juice. Because you can fill the tank so quick. Even plugged into a supercharger they say it takes 20 min to charge to 50, 40 min for 80, 75 min for 100%. I know with the 200 mile range a normal commute doesn’t even close to requiring a recharge. Still I want faster! 120kW? Pfft, if the cable isn’t smoking I’m not happy. Or superchargers in every parking lot.
