I am serious that if I had a half assed charging option I’d have just bought one of them.
You drive one charge a month or so ... :whocares:
Charge where. Best scenario I came up with is leaving it overnight at the airport long term lot and taking a bus home. Bus back in AM to pick it up. $11 a night free charge as long as nobody is using it. That’s it man. I can’t see any real public charging solution in Philly.

Drive unit issues, :doe:
it's under warranty :aintcare: and at least THEY FUCKING FIX THE GOD DAMN CAR UNLIKE BMW here :rage:
Warranty is all well and good but who wants to be stranded on a dark road at night when the motor(s) take a shit? Though I have yet to see one on the back of a tow truck or stranded on the side of the road.
:wap: Where are these mangos?

I have only been stranded by two cars, my C5 and a Mazda 626

I’m worried about who will service my 2017 $35,000 Model 3 Tesla after they go bankrupt? The power windows have all been replace because they all stopped working at one time in the past. The sun roof leaked and so did the rear tail lights. The trunk leaked worst of all.

^that' leaking is body fit up uses, they need to correct their stampings.

The defining quality of Tesla is a lack of it and the question of support over time. And time........ will tell................

Tesla is starting to operate like a cost concious car company, which will be their downfall. Not anything they have designed so far. The capital outlays are not possible with a $35k model 3. They can't build a network of "free" superchargers for that.

I saw this and was kinda intrigued. Kinda Meh on the styling, but it's ok. I love the idea of an extra trunk in the front (if that's what they're going to do). Big shit in the back, tools and odds and ends in the front... And you can keep the cargo space in the back cab free of clutter. If it's tow capable, that would be :tits:
