Probably regarding body repair.

Wait list for parts

Wait list for bringing a Tesla into the approved bodyshop.

Think mine took about 3 months from booking an appointment to finally getting it repaired from a rear Ender's.

Basically you're driving around your Tesla with damaged panels until there's an opening at the bodyshop.

Once at the shop, then they will provide a courtesy car.

Mine took about a week for it to get fixed.

But a couple of months for a spot to open up at the bodyshop

If e-scooters are approved for general private use on city streets / sidewalk / bike lanes, it would reduce my car use by so much that it isn't even funny. It's really too bad that Vancouver is moving so slowly on this issue.

An e-scooter would be the #1 EV that I'd love to purchase.

I just don't want to bother with the risks of getting ticketed. I know people have been saying that as long as you ride one sensibly, you should be OK. But I live in Vancouver, and as you can imagine, my faith in the VPD for this sort of thing isn't really all that high.

Where's your number from? Motor Trend has it at 7.4 which is pretty reasonable for an entry level EV - MT doesn't abuse their cars too much for testing so that should be a realistic number. https://www.motortrend.com/cars/volk...t-test-review/

Reviews in general sound pretty good - it's the first EV that is legit interesting to me that I can afford (The Taycan is the other one that is interesting). The dual motor one would probably be plenty of daily performance for me. Now I just need a place to charge it since I park on the street.

Talked to a salesman at the dealership when they announced it. Mom needed a new car. Could not get an accurate price just some rough estimates depending on the model, options launch edition etc. Have a model Y now. Dad drives it more than his Porsche cayenne turbo hybrid. When Tesla has full self driving it's game over.

I'm sold on the auto pilot already, why do I have to drive myself like a peasant when the car can drive itself. I haven't really driven any other system, so I'm not sure if that's the best system.

very interesting spectrum of people holding onto manuals and those who can't wait for autonomous

i can see it being frustrating 4-way stops up a hill with more than a few cars in front of you each morning ..otherwise dailying a fun car hasn't bothered me even in 3 full lanes on kingsway/broadway etc.

My daily commute consists of highways and stop and go city traffic. It makes no sense to drive my supercharged v8 or my supercharged v6 toy cars as dd anymore given that they both need premium and I'm guessing it's about $1.65 now. Also I get complementary vi if I drive them into Van. A base model 3 would probably beat them off the line at any red light. Let alone a dual motor. I've tried the base y and nothing can out accelerate you at a red light. I'm not paying for any gas in stop and go traffic plus it will pretty much drive itself on the highway. I don't see any negatives as a dd. The amount I'm spending on gas each month currently pays for like 80% of the Tesla payment.

This is a base rwd model y with the software upgrade for like $2500

Heard this as well based on youtube reviews; might be a nitpick but I find the door pulls are goofy, looks like a stick-on 'mod' you buy at the Chinese car accessory shop at Parker Place:

I saw these at the LA auto show - it's long but narrow in width giving it weird proportions. For reference it's narrower than a Model 3 (1880mm vs. 1933mm)
