People are silly.
$35k without credits.Originally posted by 01RedDX
People are lining up outside the Tesla stores already, lots of buzz but nobody knows what it looks like yet. The Calgary store also has one, I presume.

With the sub-30K price in the US heavily dependent on tax credits (which we don't get) it is possible that the Canadian price will be well into the 50s.
I don't get it either. Sort of like lining up for the new Chevy Volt. The pics I have seen I don't find very appealing. I wouldn't go to a store to see one - let alone sit in line to buy one.
You mean the Bolt EV? I like the Bolt. Solid car.Originally posted by soloracer

The lineups are for deposit. There's no car to see at the stores. The presentation doesn't look to have a Model 3, just unveiling the concept, pricing, etc. If by some miracle an actual pre-production car shows up in tonight's presentation, well then I hope you guys are holding onto some Tesla stock haha.

How much information is released about the car anyway? It's electric, it's got 4 wheels and? Fuck this car.
Its considered a luxury car but everything I've read about Tesla it seems to have no business being compared to audi and bmw

So people are putting money down and don't even know what they are buying into.
That said, if all the rumors are true, it's pretty good bang for the bucks at $45K cdn.
Seen the Volt, the corner cutting to make it to that price point make it look worse than a $11K Elantra's interior plastic.Originally posted by nzwasp

People are excited much like the BMW 1 series.

Wouldn't the $35k US price include incentives though so it would be higher than that?

I say stupid shit all the time.
Tesla keeps saying $35,000 USD without tax credits but I don't think anybody should believe that price until they actually reveal the car. Regular car companies sometimes don't have pricing even after the production model is revealed, it's irresponsible to think that Tesla would have a price before they even strut out a physical concept.Originally posted by schocker

Or, if you'll eat anything out of a Tesla spoon, you'll just add that to the list of "12 Ways Tesla is Disrupting the Automotive Industry. Number 9 Will Shock You".
The Volt is a PHEV. The Bolt is the EV that competes with the Model 3. Thank you GM for the confusing names.Originally posted by Xtrema

The Bolt EV is $37.5k before incentives, $2500 more than the Model 3's projected MSRP. The Bolt EV is nothing like the Volt, which was terrible 1st gen. The 2nd gen Volt that was unveiled last year in Detroit is much better.
Here's the Bolt:

200 mile range, 200hp, floor mounted batteries Tesla style to lower CoG and maximize cabin space. Tonight's minimum expectations is that Tesla at least matches the Bolt's specs if we don't want to be disappointed. Realistically, Tesla will win in this segment even if their car is slightly worse than the Bolt spec wise. It's the Tesla/Apple fanboy effect.

Not to mention no way for the base price of 35k you are getting things like AWD, Extended range (300 mi), 4s 0-60, leather, autopilot, *insert whatever else tesla likes to quote at the same time as the $35k price*. They need mad profit margins to keep their R&D going.
I think, eventually, the model 3 could be quite good. But if the Model S is any example i wouldn't want to be an early adopter, you have no idea what kind of stuff is going to be left out. And buying a car sight unseen with nary more than a concept that's your own damn fault. Its crazy the number of changes they have made to the S since debut to bring it to where it is now.

Well I am under the assumption the car will be delivered late and at a higher price. Also the talk of raising the price on the other models to subsidize the 3 so how much higher can those go. I suppose everyone drinking the tesla juice would have no problem shelling out another $10k for a S or X.Originally posted by Mibz

The deposit is fully refundable. In the US, getting in on an early build will qualify you for the $7500 incentive (for the first 200k cars). In Canada, it's pure fanboy as we don't get any EV incentives.Originally posted by killramos

Refundable or not putting money down sight unseen on a pie in the sky product is pretty ridiculous. Especially on a car that we all know isn't going to be rare or limited production.Originally posted by rage2

I had the same opinion of people putting refundable deposits on M2's 3 years ago. Difference with that is at least no one was camping in line for a spot
Overall its a scenario of more money than brains. Unfortunately I have the feeling that many of these Tesla 3 adopters don't actually have that much money to be doing this. Else they would just buy an S or X.

Yeah, but after seeing the Volt at the Calgary Auto Show, while it looks better than gen1 interior wise, it's still not as good as the $27K Civic.Originally posted by rage2

Bolt will save $ on the ICE engine vs Volt but I assume that will be taken up by the battery. So I expect interior will still be similar to or worse than a $20K car.
That said, this is basically iPhone effect. I'm sure everyone who put deposit down probably are just in it for flipping for a buck.
It's gonna be rare like the 1st gen iPhone for the 1st 12-16 months.Originally posted by killramos
