Is/n't Tesla literally/figuratively crashing?

[archibaldcrane]

The Model 3 was also the highest revenue car in the US in August (sales X sales price)

Picked up my car last Friday

Noice.

If they were selling Model 3s in europe I'd be in the queue.

Grats on your new electric baby! The blue looks a fair bit darker than it does on the configurator. I like it.

Looks like dual motor from the white interior....with or without Performance?

Nice dude, I really like that blue. My best friend just put in his order for a performance a couple days ago, should get it in November.

The blue color is a bit weird under different lighting it can look darker or lighter. I opted for non performance since I didn't want to spend the extra $11k (now it's a $9k difference since AWD is 2k more than what I paid) for performance because it only decreased the 0-60 by 1 second and I would've been stuck with the ugly 18 inch Aero wheels by default. If I wanted the sport wheels I would've had to spring for the performance package which is $5k extra on top of the $11k which adds the spoiler, red brake calipers, pedals, badge, and includes a special software option called Track Mode. A lot of people were pissed off by the last bit because even if you get the Performance Model, you don't get Track Mode (whenever it rolls out) by default. You have to add on the $5k Performance Package.

Those 18" wheels are so bad. Really sucks they force you to spring for the 20s to avoid them.

You can, but some of the nicer lighter options can get expensive. For me it was just a $1500 option for the 19's so I just went with that. The Aero Wheels are ugly to me, even if you take the aero caps off...

[TsingTao]

For those that don't know the ugly 18" wheels really aren't ugly, they just have an ugly cap. Personally I like the 18s.

Thanks for the feedback. That's the model I'd get as well. I'd never hoon my electric dailty so the performance pack and Track Mode, while entertaining to watch on video, doesn't hold any appeal for purchase. I'll put the savings towards an actual track day toy.

Oh that's interesting, yeah the uncapped 18s look perfectly fine.

When you pull the Aero's off, you don't have the center wheel cap. You have to purchase a set for $50 and right now they are back-ordered 8 weeks lol.

There is an estimated 30B-40B barrels of oil in the Bakken fields in North Dakota.

[Zetanio]

There's actually about 160B barrels but more and more are becoming economically viable to recover. I think it's actually a horrible idea to continue pushing the development in there. The level of fracking and drilling is going to shitfuck that whole region. They don't have a downstream capacity anywhere near their production either.

Gonna be a nice boom and bust for ND though.

[Salodin]

Who fucking cares about ND anyways though? Their population is tiny as fuck, just drill drill drill and make them all move to Washington or something.

That's not a very good idea.

[BaneTheBrawler]

anything you do to the dakotas will spill over to other places, like MN. and MN is great.

[archibaldcrane]

Tar sands are pretty far west in N. Dakota though, and I think the pipelines from it mostly run south into Nebraska.

I kinda like the 18s (minus caps) better than the 19/20s tbh.
