Tesla's Model 3

By
Home Inspector with Complete Home Inspections, Inc. TN Lic#050

    As most of us know, Elon Musk recently unveiled the Model 3, Telsa’s newest sedan. First of all, I want to congratulate him and Tesla for getting close to 200,000 pre-orders during the first 48 hours and I hope the company gets 2 Million pre-orders this year as I feel that this newest version is affordable and has a decent battery range. Secondly, I do share Elon’s vision (and have for years) that as a Nation, we need to stop being so wasteful and embrace sustainable energy sources just like we are utilizing sustainable growth forests.
    I have long been lusting for a white, P85D Model S as it has been on my vision board for some time now. The $35K price tag and over 200+ miles per charge, puts the Model 3 in the price and driving range of many who are looking for a vehicle in the mid-luxury class. I am going by the local Tesla dealership later today and see what options are available as it may be a viable option as I move forward towards my P-85D. 


And that my friends, is my 2¢’s worth for this morning.

Certainly worth investigating ...though with new technology, we tend to a little more wait 'n see with something we depend on sooo much.

Good Morning Michael.  I saw this on the news last night.  It will be interesting on the final number for the first production model.

Michael, I like your enthusiasm for the Tesla Model 3. The P85D looks like a nice set of wheels and I hope you'll provide us with your own consumer review once the vehicle arrives.

Hi Michael.  I have a P90 in my future.  I will take a trip and visit you when I get it (and spend nothing for fuel to get there!).

Good morning TeamCHI - Complete Home Inspections, Inc. ,

I've been hearing on the news all about the Tesla Model 3! Let us know..they were brilliant in coming out with a $35,000.00 price tag. I have a friend who bought a Tesla 2 years ago and loves her Tesla..she was not excited about the less expensive version!

Good morning Michael,

With the beginning of the Prius and so many versions since and the Vole, Bolt, Tesla there should be a way to extend the range and still not have any emissions!

Make yourself an astonishing day.

TeamCHI - Complete Home Inspections, Inc. My brother-in-law pre-ordered a Model 3, but I will wait as Elon has pointed out that there will be alternate versions available in the future. More range? More power? Who knows! Good luck on your 85!

But does it have "eye sight" like my 2016 Subaru Forester?  Safest car I ever drove.

Michael I love Southern terms

"lusting for a white, P85D Model S"

A friend of mine from Texas once told me he had "a powerful hunger for a mini van" when they first came out :)

Michael, yes TESLA has a large following/cult unfortunately things are not so perfect in TESLA land as most want you to believe, I had a client who has been complaining about transmission problems and the car was longer in the "repair shop" than he owned it... so do your research  before you make the plunge....Endre

Going to look at buying a Tesla S Model 3 . . . . Sounds like it's going to be an outstanding car.

Good luck and success.

I'm sure you will enjoy your new car. I understand that they are an interesting car to drive. It will probably run on autopilot soon.

Hi Michael --- this development is interesting to watch on multiple levels --- the car itself and the marketing...
