Title: Tesla Model 3
Post by: Saniflush on April 01, 2016, 10:59:44 AM
So the new Tesla was unveiled last night on the West coast.  Looks interesting.  I like the out of the box thinking Tesla has been doing on a lot of fronts.  It will help push other industries to do some things....What I don't understand is who the fuck and why would you reserve one of these cars?

The earliest delivery date is a year and a half from now (and most think that is optimistic), and you have to put down a $1000.00 to reserve it.  As of this morning there have been 115,000 people reserve one either online or at one of their dealerships.  Let that sink in that is $1000 time 115,000.....For those with suspect math skills you are talking about 115 million dollars for just the right to buy a car that in a production sense does not exist yet.

I heard it had seats of rich Corinthian leather, much like a moderately expensive sofa.  But if you want it, you have to pay somebody two McDoubles to put it in there.
