That's fucking crazy
Tesla Model 3 Revealed

You're forgetting that he said to only put $12 of gas in the car. How far will that get him? $12 isn't 1/2 a tank, not with premium fuel.
That's true.
But I know that he meant that the difference would be negligible to the m3 crowd. Less so when you factor in that 93 for sure though.
I'm just speaking to how the cars perform but I'm sure you already knew that. Or at least I hope so....
Again, this is the same situation as I explained in my previous post. If the M6 is in top gear, it can't generate comparable torque! Whereas, the Tesla can due to electric motors. Put the M6 in 2nd and 3rd gear and then see the results. Completely different results.
Regardless, I like what Teslsa is doing and not taking anything away from the cars. Just putting some perspective on these numbers.
I knew the difference in cars within my argument when I posted it (the life of a lawyer); however, are you suggesting that the M6 or M3 would be quicker in 2nd or 3rd gear than the Tesla numbers I posted? I would have to find some documentation.
30-50 in under 1 second? Not likely.
they havent announced specs on anything but the base model 3 so far to my knowledge.
If we're talking about street racing or just moving around town...
I'd probably rather have the car that kills damn near everything on the street from 0-100 than the car that shows its heart at 80mph+.
I found a website that said 1.8 seconds for the M3 in 2nd gear. Keep trying though.
No.
What I am suggesting is that comparing an M6 in its top gear and then comparing it's acceleration numbers to the Tesla isn't an apples to apples comparison due to it's completely different drive trains. You have to put an internal combustion motor in the correct corresponding gear to make a true and accurate comparison.
Speak on it.
Why is it a wifey car?
What makes it worth it?
Any maintenance issues thus far?
Nope. They did 5B in presales (took in a few hundred million in deposits)
I reserved mine.
I think the German big 3 will always eat their rep is solidified.. Honda and Toyota as well now for everyone else it's a wrap
You gonna see a lot of model 3s in the hood
This car beats a comparably-priced bmw or mercedez on pretty much every measurable metric.

The bmw 335i has been americas best selling premium vehicle almost since it came out i think.
This car is taking that crown in it's first year easily...
this little tesla is gonna be everywhere like altimas & accords used to be...
and think about all the people who wanted the model s but were priced out of the high performance model so sat out? The high end model for this one will probably top out at $55k and give cats that performance they wanted in the Model S.
i think it's game over... and thats a good thing cuz its time we get off that oil.

True but Elon Musk got more money than the Cock Brothers.. They can't stop that Tesla movement.. The model 3 is a game changer literally
I still want the Model S P85, the only problem is the long term ownership of the car.. What's the warranty on the battery and when it expires how much does it cost to replace the battery? We talking 10 years from now? I'm assuming the battery will be a cheaper to replace than it is now
There is a comparison, they are both cars powered by electric motors.
You think they will sell the 2 motor performance model for 55k?
All electric Audi R8
No doubt and with the success of this car gas prices going to go down even more... And watch Elon Musk start getting lobbyist in his payroll to combat big oil lobbyist... These mofos tried to kill the Tesla and have failed miserably..
His SpaceX venture going to change the game too..
You are confusing two things. One is quick with being fast. The Tesla has great acceleration and quick straight line speed but lacks pure power and speed.
It is like watching Usain Bolt run. Often times people are able to jump out on Usain Bolt just for him to hit top speed and not only catch them but pull away.
If their are turns and a good lenght the Tesla would get smoked prety easily. From 0-70 the Tesla is fast but once those speeds are reached you can see how the gas powered car really kicks in with power.
What up Jagu? LOL
In california and NY the warranty for battery replacement is extended to 10 years or 150k. In my Infiniti Hybrid to replace the batteries if they go out is around 1200. Which ain't shit. So I'd assume the tesla which is all battery would be 3 to 5000k
everything looks good to me except the screen.i prefer the screens on the model x and s and having basic information on top of the steering wheel. think just a concept
What people are forgetting is that the Tesla can be inconvient. Depending your charger you are looking at 1 hour to 4 per charge.I think the German big 3 will always eat their rep is solidified.. Honda and Toyota as well now for everyone else it's a wrap

The charging of the battery and performace of the car is still an issue. Handling turns and accelerating out of them are unmatched by a BMW.
Also the weight time on charging a car is problematic.
the use of electric motors / battery, whether implemented in a hybrid application or all electric is the future of auto performance. Other than the nostalgic acceleration feel and sound of having an ICE you can't deny it. Some of these comments are crazy other than loss of available battery power what's going to stop the acceleration and allow a non EV car to catch up?
I dig that comparison but how much faster do you need to go beyond 70? I do a 2-3 hour drive maybe twice a month Im usually on cruise control at around 80.
I def feel the inconvenience piece but cats will waste an hour on their phones parked outside their own crib playing on their phone lol If anything I think will take more thought out time usage on the owners part.
Exactly. Thats Musk's ultimate goal to have a Tesla affordable as Hondas and Toyotas because that's where he'll really make his bread. The model 3 isn't even the end game, he's said that other similar models will come out and be cheaper in due time.I think the German big 3 will always eat their rep is solidified..

That's fine because i don't race anymore but I prefer a car that excites me. Meaning, it must sound good, brake well, corner well, solid build, rich interior etc.
I drive around in a 560 HP car and I don't do over 90mph anymore.
That said, I will only buy the top of the line Tesla if they will sell it for under $50k because that's all it's worth to me.
That bitch got walked down
How you going to get your lunch jacked, but you all electric though
Quick vs fast...
Also, think about what happens when you use a battery-powered drill.
