    Those are the model S interiors, I believe. I never said anything ill of the model S, I like the model S.
    LOL...

    Did you consider that maybe... just maybe... they use the same interior design, but sized differently? After-all, it isn't the dash and steering wheel that account for the cost differences.

    From what I read, there is no completed prototype out there yet.

    Regardless, those are picks that came up with Tesla 3 information.

    The S has pretty good interior materials, I doubt the 3 will come very close being that it is half the price.

    Also, I believe what we've seen is at least a working prototype

    I never really understood hype purchases. I mean, i get the fact of being excited over something you really want, but not really wanting something because of the outside hype about an obviously not-so-interesting item. I suppose it's like the iPhone. The 1st one, sure. It was groundbreaking. The rest where people stand in long ass lines to be the first to drop one and break it? No.

    I LOL at people who basically pay a premium to beta test products. Oh a Tesla, Steve Jobs like with Elon Musk (sounds like an underarm fragrance), I need to be seen in one at my 675 sqft apartment.

    Can't believe people are going crazy over this car. I have a few friends bragging about their deposits for their Tesla 3 models, as if this puts them in another atmosphere

    Tesla is changing the image people have of an electrical vehicle, it is becoming a nice stuff to have. The outcome of this is nothing short of being great. This type of vehicle is obviously a good news for the environment...

    not sure why people are ing...

    Hard to say. I personally think hybrids are a joke, but love the idea how Tesla is making full electric better. If I could just justify the cost of one.

    well.....it will be charged maybe twice a week (don't know what that will cost), and we already know that it will save $200 a month in fuel.

    My brother-in-law currently works for Space-X and is line to get first opportunity to buy the 3. He had the S but now his wife drives that one and he's going to go with the smaller 3. It boils down to personal preference, but the amount of money he saves with the S and whenever he gets delivery of the 3 is quite impressive. If you have the money and will to want a Tesla, then you should get it. Helps with the dependency of reliance on oil. The S is really nice though.

    I dont really get it..... a $100,000 Tesla or a $50,000 car which runs on gasoline. Hmmmm, I wonder how long it would take you to make up the difference in price using electricity?

    I'm not sure and I don't know if he's actually mapped out his savings, though. I mean, it seems to fit their lifestyle fine. I should inquire if he's actually kept track.

    Ok. First, your base numbers are off. Second, there's a massive tax incentive for electronic cars. Third? Check out the potential savings in maintenance. No oil changes, no spark plug replacements, distributor caps? Nope. No fuel filter, brake pad replacements are also rare. Oh and car insurance? Less than what you will pay for driving a gasoline car.


    Most importantly, an additional $200 or more in savings from gasoline.



    Do you want to calculate that cost for me?

    aka, TCO total cost of ownership, but people buying Tesla are price insensirive, TCO? They'll probably flip for a new one before reduced TCO pays off

    Tesla is asking suppliers to refund payments:

    In a memo that a global supply manager at Tesla (TSLA) sent to some suppliers last week, the company has asked the suppliers to refund what it called a meaningful amount of money of what it had already paid these suppliers since 2016; the purpose of these retroactive discounts is to help Tesla become profitable, it said. The memo was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal and reported Sunday evening.


    According to the memo, the request for cash back is, as the WSJ put it, “essential to Tesla’s continued operation.”


    The memo said this cash back would be like an investment in Tesla “to continue the long-term growth between both players,” in the words of the WSJ.

    Tesla burned $1.1 billion in cash in Q1 and likely more in Q2 – we’ll find out on August 1. It cut its workforce by 9% in June and promised to cut other spending. CEO Musk told the entire world in a bizarre earnings call that he didn’t “want to” raise new capital in 2018, though Tesla had only $2.7 billion in cash at the end of last quarter.
