What's the point of having a Tesla if everyone can't be 100% sure you have a Tesla? haha
On another note, and it's just my opinion/not a shot at anyone who has one, I still can't get behind the visuals - they look like a cartoon to me.

I say stupid shit all the time.
I noticed the hood PPF cutout was off centered on a few cars. I know it's an installer quality & attention problem but it's enough reason for me to remove it.
Also no place for the dirt to accumulate in the badge nook & crannies.
One of the badges I won't remove, because it removes itself.

Honestly .... seems like a good business opportunities for condos. Just charge people a flat rate 50$ a month to cover electricity costs and maintenance (in addition to the install fee) and then it's extra $ the condo can have for their reserve fund.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I got an idea for condos/apartments, but not sure how profitable it could be or if someone does this already.
Basically you have charging stations but it's based on a card/fob system. So when you plug in to charge your car, you tap the FOB to begin charging. That way, it knows who the charge the amount to. Then every month, it just gets deducted from your account in addition to your condo fees, etc.
This way, it is a shared system with a fair payment system and those who want to participate will put up a one time upfront cost to be in the program.
Does that sound like a good idea? The only issue is that it only works successfully if there is a large amount of people participating initially. I guess extra spots could be "reserved" for expansion. And parking would need to be non-titled too I guess.

Only issue I'd see is how do you ensure people don't just park there forever. Like you get home from work and toss your car on the charger and then no one else can use it unless you come down and move it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Some condos downtown charge 100-200 a month for a parking spot. This would be hard to enforce people to actually share would be my concern.
Although if you wanna get fancy it could use an APP that messages you your car is done and it needs to be moved
There will be a light that says it is done as a local visual indicator. And high-rise condos usually have security or concierge to check around on rounds. Repeat offenders are going to be fined. If on an app, condo staff could also be an "admin" on the app as well to see how long someone stayed dormant there and get an alert. If the app is smart enough, admins could also message users straight from the app.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Oh man, this idea is starting to get more detailed!
Semi-serious on this idea now hahaha.
Nah. The capital is too intensive up front. At average $10K per spot, ROI is too low at $50.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I think the easiest way is partner with Electrify Canada or some providers and convert visitor parking for L3 charging purpose. Charges/payment system will be covered by them. And anyone not paying per min charges at those spots get towed.
Bringing NEMA 14-50 to every spot while planning everybody will be charging at night is just way too expensive to accommodate.
The expensive part of NEMA 14-50 is the cable (6/3) and the 50A breaker. The plug itself is $5. Long cable runs in a parking garage are going to make it cost prohibitive.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Shitty wipers or shitty fluid? I don’t get why Th e fluid only comes out at the bottom of the stroke. Might work in California, but not here.

Maybe the fluid? My S has some of the best wipers I have had on a vehicle, I would assume they 3 would be similar.
A 50amp breaker is 12$ and cable is roughly $2.50 / foot....This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

No issues with my wipers. I think they are on par with whatever BMW uses.

Not sure what your guys plan is with the car long term but I’ve been debating it for a little while now. What’s the long term value of the car, will it depreciate faster or slower than a similar car in that price range???
Better to lease or buy?? I was planning a electric car in the next 5-10 years but I’m considering bumping it up sooner.

I think the model 3 is holding it’s value well, especially the cheaper versions. I don’t know how long that will last though.
