    Has anyone on here got a Model 3? I've been very interested in getting one recently after doing a ton of research. A sustainable eco future is definitely the way forward for everyday life and one that I want to be a part of. The tech in these cars are also leaps and bounds above the rest. I just hope they can iron out those annoying issues like the shoddy paint work and dodgy panelling sooner rather than later.

    not yet, but pulling the trigger March 2021. Been saving for 2 years to avoid car payments. The car is amazing. I watch videos all day at work on the car, live on reddit Tesla boards, and go to the dealership here monthly. Strongly suggest anything Tesla

    I’m aiming for a Model 3 as well I think. I’ll probably do what you’ve done and buy the car outright or at least as much as I can. I’m hoping to go fully sustainable at some point and have solar panels on my house (if its not this house then the next one) to produce as much energy as possible myself to charge the car.

    I’m really liking the new Model 3 upgrades. I just hope they can sort those paintwork issues out in the coming year or two.

    The chrome delete pisses me off. I understand a lot of people don't like the chrome and get rid of it themselves, but should still have the option to configure with it still even if its a few hundred bucks extra. And them retiring Silver Metallic back in 2018 was a huge bummer as my current car is silver and beautiful. Im aiming for white on white Long Range

    How are you enjoying your Model 3? Curious about your experience so far and if you had any quality issues.

    so far I love it although haven't driven it more than 150 miles yet. I was worried with all the negative reviews in regards to quality, but was pleasantly surprised when I picked mine up

  13. any chance folks would be cool with making this an electric car thread more generally? I have a ton of issues with tesla/musk in general but firmly believe electric cars are the future and will be buying one as soon as it's financially feasible to do so (public transport isn't a very viable option for me). would be cool to hear from others on here who feel similarly.

    My favorite site to keep up to date on electric vehicle industry news is Electrek: Electrek - EV and Tesla News, Green Energy, Ebikes, and more - has a daily email newsletter that I make sure to look at every day

    It's great that finally most of the big players in the auto industry are coming out with their own electric cars; sucks that a majority of them seem to be shitty crossovers, but it's at least nice they're making the effort. Most are still years behind Tesla, but over time I think the might of big players like VW, GM, Ford, Merc, and BMW will catch up. Vehicle I'm most excited about is Rivian and their truck/SUV

    So I might be pulling the trigger on a black standard range plus Model 3 with the upgraded alloys soon.

    We were considering the long range but here in the U.K. the standard range plus will hopefully be enough.

    I test drove the Polestar 2 today, I was extremely impressed. Almost impressed enough to buy one.

    Going to do a bit more research but as of this point I don't see any reason why not.

    it's 400km vs 460km on the same priced model 3 per the european whatevers.

    apparently there's a FWD only model coming that has the same range as the model 3, I am considering waiting for that one.

    the 350 mi Model 3 is $50k

    I saw this one in person last year in Oslo; looked very sleek.

    Someone near us has one and it’s very nice.

    Definitely a good alternative to the Model 3 if you don’t fancy that.

    I'm in europe haha, prices are different here! The model 3 and the polestar cost essentially the same with a similar spec level.
