I was getting that directly from official Tesla information, not just a hunch... https://www.teslamotors.com/blog/reserving-model-3/?utm_campaign=Blog_Model3_032116

Musk said on Twitter that they had 276,000 reservations by the end of Saturday. Actually he called them "orders" but I wouldn't class them as that yet. He also just posted that the base will be RWD with dual motor AWD as an option, but we basically knew this from the rides they were giving...

Good to know, thanks.

Yeah, I'm not counting on rebates. Is it 200,000 units total from a manufacturer or by model? If there's 200,000 for the model 3, I might be lucky, but I'm not counting on it. For a $35,000 car that's not so bad, although Musk said that based on common options from the other models, he expects...

I got mine done yesterday. I also complained (hopefully in words that trigger action) about the Climatronic resetting. I just picked the car up and the corrections listed are "93b4 software update" and "perform software update sum code 3da3". The previous info I'd seen on here about the climate...

Somehow they convinced themselves they wouldn't get caught...

Even more likely, as BrianZ said, VW foresaw these things happening with a car that's silent when stopped and put the safety feature in to prevent them happening. Maybe they saw them happen with the EV1...?

I just realized, I didn't say in the OP but I put down the $1000 to get in the line. Not too happy that the line isn't first come, first served because they're going to give priority to current Tesla owners (OK, I suppose) and west coast delivery first, but better to be somewhere in that line...

How many current EV owners were among the 115,000 who put down $1,000 yesterday to reserve a spot in line to get a Model 3 I wonder. From the short reveal presentation the specs are impressive for a $35,000 car. We'll see if the competition is able to match or better it by the end of 2017.

There's lots that could go wrong... I don't know that there's software inside the charger, but there is inside the car which signals to the charger. There is a low current connection which is used to turn the high current connection on or off. That's done through relays that could fail...

If you go back and read the original post, MLS said they had an odd issue where checking the 'Daylight Saving Time' checkbox immediately got unchecked. Their fix, in the original post was "Oh well, I just changed it manually". The post wasn't about it being too hard for a "clown" to change the...

Huh, look at that... Thanks for the tip Verkehr.

I'm not blaming the forum, I come here despite him, not because of him. If only there were a way to filter users. At least there's no need to read his posts because it'll be "Do it my way" or "Read the manual"... :roll:

FWIW, I have mine set by GPS and I was able to check the box to move to daylight saving without issue. If the OP is not able to select the checkbox, I'd suggest a trip to the dealer to get it fixed.

But you do consider it worth the time to put down someone who seems to have a glitch in their car and is asking if anyone else is experiencing it... Wow. These forums are supposed to be a community. If you've got nothing constructive to add, add nothing.

Volkmar Tanneberger said at CES that the next e-Golf battery pack would be 37 amp hours (up from the current 28) and Jocham Böhle recently said that the next MQB platform (Mk VIII) e-Golf would have 300km real-world range, up from 190 on paper / 120 real-world. (He also said they would switch to...

I'm not in the 100 mile club yet, but I'm also in New England. I think I got my biggest range on one charge yesterday - I certainly got closest to running out of juice. It was down to speed-restricted tortoise mode for the last mile to my house (which includes a hill). I only got 85 miles, but...

My 2015 SEL has HD radio and it sucks. I don't know if it's the radio head unit, the antenna or just a shortcoming of HD radio but it's always dropping back and forth between HD and regular FM. There's also some digital artifacts in the HD sound just before it drops back to FM. I keep turning it...

I'm on a 3 year lease from December 2014 and got the first 10k miles / 12 month service included. Pretty sure that in my manuals folder there was a separate book for maintenance schedule and it was every 10,000 miles or 12 months. What needed doing at each service was very minimal so the...

I think Jiffy has a good point... the heated mirrors are one of the few physical switches on this car and on top of that there's no indicator light to say it's on. To go through your checklist JoulesThief: Lights - automatic setting (at least on the SEL). Wipers - automatic, rain sensing (on...
