Lot of rich mofos in China.

I remember reading something like Rolls Royce sells the most cars in China market.....there's so many people and even if like 0.1% can afford it...that's still butt load of people

Trust me, most of Chinese people, the "middle class" so to speak CANNOT afford a Tesla.

You would realize your stupidity when you see the charge port though, not pop the trunk.

Either this is fake or he had no idea it was an EV

I find it hard to fathom that any sane person who is buying a brand new electric car wouldn’t know how to power it. Either he is faking it or he is drunk / under the influence.

Could be easily faked. Have a "stranger" film you from another car and upload it and you get the views and likes and go "viral" and then you can checkout their twitter/IG/YT/etc.

wait... wheres the rest of the video?

The guy looks around more and then eventually uses his phone in what appears to be using google to search how to gas up a Tesla. Then he does a big "oh fuck" and drives off.



And yes people are THAT stupid. That should be no surprise these days.

Someone find me a video of someone getting as much joy from of a vehicle's turning radius, tire pressure, or weight, as Jamie Foxx does from a Tesla's instant torque.

The Tesla Model 3 was voted as the number one most satisfying car across four different age groups, a new study from Consumer Reports recently revealed.

The study from CR surveyed over 420,000 owners across four different age groups, ranging from the youngest drivers to the most seasoned automotive users. It was unanimous that the Model 3 was the preferable car across all of the groups.

Millennials, Generation X, Baby Boomers, and the Silent Generation were all surveyed for the study, proving that no matter what age was being talked about, one thing could be agreed upon: The Model 3 is the most satisfying vehicle out there.

The survey asked owners if they would buy the same car twice. It also asked for ratings in terms of driving experience, comfort, value, styling, and audio controls.
but what about the turning radius, and the tire pressure, and the interior!?!? RRRRREEEEEEEEE

Something must be really wrong with the cars if the two biggest proponents of the company couldn't even be bothered to own one.

So? Buy a model 3 for the time being. Isn't the resale value stellar enough to keep the 3 for the 3ish years before the truck shows up?

This.

Also, the truck is going to be a lot more than the Model 3.

I got reserved for Cybertruck as well. I'm not buying model 3 because I'm not in the sedan market. I was planning on getting Y for next year, but cancelled since they wanted me to buy one now or cancel it. I don't like to be forced to buy something (by dealerships or manufacturers alike). Buying cars is not the only thing we do in life (especially in the Corona ravaged world, right now). The way the stocks are going up, I'd rather keep all my money there than stagnating in my garage. Having said that, if I ever "needed" to buy a car sooner than I was planning to (existing cars totaled or otherwise), it would be a Tesla, (since it's already paid for) fair enough...?

Who knows, some of those detractors might change tune after the battery day.
Whatever happens, Tesla is a safe side to bet on.

with the way the world is, enjoy while you can and keep enough just in case we make it out alive... There is no guarantee either way.

Having a mountain of $$ at 70+ means little since you cannot even physically enjoy spending $$.... enjoy life while you physically can.

Now go get a Model Y.

Rumors are that the 3 is getting the new features, and looks of the Y. Including powered trunk, chrome delete, heat pump. Also a new smaller frunk (to make room for the heat pump?), and head lights have been found. Also the Y has different tail lights now too.

Images of chrome delete, new headlights, tail lights, smaller frunk, and powered trunk are floating around. AFAIK no one has confirmed the heat pump in yet.

It makes sense to combine all these features, not just to improve the 3 but to reduce manufacturing complexity and eliminate parts. Most people prefer the chrome delete look and according to Sandy Munro it's cheaper to make

You’re probably right and I agree with that sentiment, but I’m enjoying my RDX right now too. (Didn’t you see my signature ). Why should I be in a hurry to replace something which I do enjoy having at the moment? Of course I shouldn’t hang on to it too long when it doesn’t make any sense. I just had my 80k service. I’m thinking I might hit 100k by next year and hopefully other things in life should also fall into its place. As I said, buying a new car is only one piece of the puzzle for me (not an absolute priority).
So let me enjoy my full cup of tea before I throw it away for a cappuccino. .

Cybertruck makes immensely more sense than Y because it’s so much more value for money.
I know, we all got into Acura and one of the main reasons being value for money in a luxury setting.

That’s why I do not lease cars at all and try to buy paying full cash and not take a loan if possible.
