    It looks glaring right now but eventually you get used to it. If you compare the front of the old Model S compared to the refresh, I think the refreshed Model S looks better

    Yeah they are not that good looking. I actually think the model X looks the worse and model S looking the best. Despite being ugly I still want a model 3 for all the tech.

    Those are solar hair follicles that he got implanted. They were a prelude to his now in production solar roof tiles.

    Where's your outrage for AT&T if your argument is that public monies should not play a part in funding this?

    A rare moment of DaDakota supporting corporate welfare.

    If their cars are so great dump the rebate.

    Hate to say it but I'm going to have to cancel my preorder for a couple of reasons. My commute will be at least 35 miles each way, but my apartment complex does not have a charging station. I have one at work however there is only 2 and right now there's already 1 electric car that uses it each day. If one other person decides they want an electric car, it's going to be a hassle to figure out who gets to charge and when. With the range anxiety and my charging situation, owning one at this time is too burdensome.

    One day I will get a Tesla, but when the time is right.

    The charging station shouldn't take all day. People will have to self organize sooner or later. It's better that way rather than swooping in and playing games with each other

    I've got 2 reservations and (unless we hit a windfall) will take only one. Can't wait.

    The lack of a dashboard behind the wheel was a big worry, but not anymore. I want to test drive one sometime this year.

    I think this model may be the tipping point to where charging stations become more and more common.

    Non Tesla owners are getting their Model 3 configuration invites today. Anyone here get theirs?
