How about a white Tesla Model 3 Performance with white interior … and one brown door panel?

Apparently, everyone at Tesla overlooked the fact that just one of the Model 3’s interior door panels was brown. Although it’s said that these cars go through a number of checks before leaving the factory, not to mention the process once they move to a delivery center, the issue remained unnoticed. This Pearl White Multi-Coat Tesla Model 3 Performance is gleaming white just about everywhere. The car cost its new owner a whopping $78,000. Fortunately, there was no upcharge for the unique door panel that was discovered after delivery. Obviously, this is because the car was not ordered that way and should have never made it to the customer with the mismatched interior panel.

Even Bentley and Rolls Royce don’t do bespoke at this level.

78K for a Model 3? Murkan greenbacks?

I have some oceanfront property in Nebraska and a bridge in NYC I need to sell.

I wonder if nobody noticed, or if it was a prank by a disgruntled worker.

CP, Teslas cost too much for what people are getting . If I were to pay that much for an electric car, I would wait for the Porsches that are coming. I have a feeling Porsche will make a big dent in Tesla if they offer a couple models in those price ranges.

The Taycan is going to kick ass I’m telling you. Tesla’s specifically.

Also the Jaguar i/ e? Pace is getting excellent reviews.

78k... Truly the "affordable" Tesla

It’s a scam. Get 50 0 ,000 people to sign up for a $35K to Max $50K car and cough up $1000 and only produce $65-$75K cars for 2 years while these suckers wait for that elusive “affordable” electric sedan.

The company has revised its target date for producing 5,000 of the cars per week, which it now hopes to accomplish by the middle of this year.

But even that only adds up to about 250,000 cars per year — so buyers at the tail end of that 500,000-reservation line could be waiting well into 2020 to get their car. Plenty of would-be customers are already frustrated, in part because the delay could deprive some of them of a $7,500 tax credit

Why would you not want them to succeed? I mean, it’s a new car company doing something different which is what we want right?

I get it there’s prices all over the place and the long promised $35k probably won’t ever show but who cares. They’re selling a fully electric car! It’s amazing stuff, yes the build quality needs a lot of work and the attention to detail but goodness people are upset about someone else’s stuff!

Unless you own stock or just want to scream loudly at the Internet I just don’t under stand all the complaining.

Where and when did I say I wanted Tesla or Elon to fail?

What he does with SpaceX is admirable and the ModelS is very good.

I have problems with over-promising and under-delivering, pitching borderline vaporwave dustractions every time there is some bad news that comes out, his stupid immature twitter antics and controversies (good thing I don’t own TSLA because it fluctuates wildly every time he says anything), shitty quality, production nightmares in expensive “luxury” cars , HR and workforce problems and most of all the obnoxious cult of Tesla evangelicals who mindlessly defends every action of his.

As to your statement ”and the long promised $35k probably won’t ever show but who cares. They’re selling a fully electric car! “

  A lot of people care apparently, that’s why the cancellations. Also, they’re are the only ones selling a premium/luxury car,because there are other fully electric cars also if you haven’t noticed, and that’s what they have going for them. Let’s see how they fare when the Germans really start their onslaught.

I’m just saying you seem really upset about something that doesn’t truly affect you. He tweets stupid shit just like everyone else on Twitter, so what, it’s for attention.

And how many people are cancelling, a whole lot less than those still on the list.

I think you have a problem with Musk not Tesla, we all know he’s a doofus so just ignore him. He’ll be gone soon enough and then he company can be run into the ground or bought out by the big 3.

And to the other fully electric cars that are out there... the Leaf and the Bolt or even a Prius? They’re so boring and they’re not even acknowledged by their makers. Yes once ze Germans come to the table it will be good but Tesla is changing the market which we all get to benefit from by the other makers trying to copy. Just be happy man

I think its just Elon Musk trying to beat that Estonian NOBE company to the punch with  a truly retro style electric car. He’s bringing back authentic 1970s domestic build quality.

It’s their loss as the continued lack of a $35k Tesla means they will just bleed customers over to the Bolt and other PHEVs. Maybe they just don’t need the sales for now, and maybe that’s OK too. Oh well, Elon gonna Elon*.

The Bolt is not that much less exciting than a Model 3. Yeah, the Tesla looks a bit better but it costs way more (at least the versions available now) and has too many quality and ergonomic faux-pas for a mainstream car.

Tesla can milk the $50k Model 3s all they want, but they continue to risk losing future customers to other cheaper cars that are available right now .  Whether that’s good business is anybody’s guess.
