Tesla Fan Boy Thread So last August I was having a G&T on a balmy evening and had been talking to my next door neighbour (Swiss) who had a Model 3 on order for 2 years. I flicked through the Tesla website on my phone and ordered a Model 3 for myself using my credit card for the CHF1000 deposit. Now I imagined that I too would be waiting until 2021 for delivery and thought no more about it. Then in December I was asked to configure my car. A little surprised by the timing - and the fact that only 4WD twin motor long range models were available I invested a further CHF2000. Early January and I find myself in Australia. I get a call from a nice American lady based in Munich asking if I‘m OK for March delivery. „Why not“ I glibly answered. So now I have watched every YouTube video on the car, ordered winter wheels and agreed a reasonable trade in for my current car. Insurance is lower than expected. I‘ve never bought a car on my phone before and dealt only by email and phone. This is the brave new world of EVs kinda crazy, kinda exciting. Model 3 dual motor, long range, red, enhanced Autopilot... |

Re: Tesla Model 3 Fan Boy Thread This is good to know, I was put off by the long wait. Is this timeline usual now or are you a lucky lottery winner? |
Re: Tesla Model 3 Fan Boy Thread This is odd, I wandered down there the afternoon of the day the 3's were first available to order and put a deposit down and I've not had an invitation to configure, not that I'm bothered as I'm probably going to cancel it. |

Re: Tesla Model 3 Fan Boy Thread If I was a crazy billionaire I would want a much bigger pool and at least one volcano with hidden hideout in it. |

Re: Tesla Model 3 Fan Boy Thread Did you at least sit in the car ? Being tall, for me a lot of cars are just too small. Before ordering my Citroen I originally was looking at Suzuki and Toyota, but the seating position was just not right for me. So, do you know you're going to fit in the model 3 ? |

Re: Tesla Model 3 Fan Boy Thread I've been a Tesla fan since I first learned about the original roadster. After a 10 year gap in car ownership, I bought a Model S in Hong Kong (Tesla was the #1 selling car in Hong Kong in 2016 due to a waiver of first registration tax). The car was amazing and I vowed never to buy a gasoline powered car again. After resettling back in Switzerland, I was looking for a secondhand MS 100D but the M3 just called out to me (at least the massive price difference called out to me). I can't wait for mine to be delivered, hopefully within the next 2 weeks. That said, I wouldn't be opposed to a Porsche Taycan if I can ever convince my SO that we need a second car :D |
