“Right-before” the Model 3? Uh, last I checked it wasn’t due for deliveries in at least 18 months, which gives them probably at least six months before the plant starts setting up.

I will laugh SO much, when the Tesla balloon deflates... and it will, believe me... maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of its life!

“Just before” the release of the Model 3? Isn’t it coming out in 2145?

So are there still gonna be people arguing that Musk is not paying Gawker?

I guess they couldn’t call themselves Tesla since that name has already been taken...

The service is free for the first 3 years of the car’s life (in the UK anyway). Beyond that, I don’t know yet...

Erm, I got this app with my ~£35,000 XE.

Now back to the app, which shows you where your car is located, remote climate control, and a log of every stop, mileage, distance, and more features of a journey in the XJR, which offers a connectivity to the car Harry has never experienced before.

Came here to post this exact same thing!!!

I actually like the Leaf.

No the article is a spin off of an article from 3 months ago just to bring Tesla on top

The article is about electric cars dominating the oil industry, not elite cars. Car enthusiast that drives a model S? Not an enthusiast.

The article is an actual ad for Tesla, there are no facts or research behind it. It sounds like “hey we need to write something up about Tesla what can we come up with?”

No it begs the question where all the electricity to charge them will come from, most likley fossil fuels for the short term since there will never be enough solar/wind to do it.

I think you misread that part.

I think Rensho nailed it. It’s simply a price increase that they want to spin into not being a price increase.

Probably because the battery pack necessary to do that would weigh over 1000 pounds, making it impractical to design for when 95% of the time it isn’t being used. More realistically, you could add a small engine up front and use it to supplement travel for longer trips. Call the car a Volt or something.

“with the 75 kWh pack adding $3,000 to the 70 kWh’s $71,500 base price and an additional 19 miles of range”

I know. I thought this was a car site, not a golf cart site.

Where is the sarcastic news update about how long it’s going to take Tesla to mass-produce the Model 3 even after they’ve already “crowdfunded” a shit-ton of money for it?
