So who is getting a Model 3?

Why have they made Teslas look so bland?
Because trying to sell someone one new idea at a time is enough? Many EVs are overly modern styled but in an awkward geeky way that screams ev.
These are for people that just want a car that blends in that happens to run on electricity.

So when's the full unveil of the production-spec car then, with options and prices etc.? Apologies if I've missed this!
Don't think you've missed anything.. they're making them yet we've no release pictures of the final production interior, how speed is displayed etc. A bit bizarre given they took deposits so quicklyEdited by David87 on Monday 10th July 23:00
28th of July is first hand-over event so I suspect full specs will be out than. But given it's a Tesla those specs will have changed by the time the first RHD cars are delivered.
The 3 is growing on me, not as the main family wagon but as a second car on the driveway it will do the job nicely. Wife also likes how it looks in black, so essentially got the go ahead to order one now to replace her Lexus
.
I'll wait for the larger battery version though, 75kWh usable with an efficiency of 4 miles per kWh at M way speeds will do me nicely.

To the vast majority of UK population and car owners that's an eye watering amount to spend on a main car let alone second.

The pricing puts me off, a US price of 35k, which equates to 27k here at present rates but the people in the know seem to suggest a $ for £ swap, making it £35k here.
Me too. Don't forget the $35k is before local sales tax, so in other words, add 20% VAT to whatever the UK price converts to.I wouldn't be surprised if the basic model is over £40k

I'm not in a Tesla fanboy but when does Tesla go out of its way to demonstrate its not a quality product..... If your going off your travels through internet forums and own bias people can form the same opinions about dodgy VAG engines and cheop plastic parts not livong upto peoples expectstions....also mostly unfounded when compared to the volume of cars they sell....
They don't demonstrate it but there is plenty of evidenceAn A pillar they delivered to a customer - the split was painted over and yet it got through all their quality gates
A wheel that rubs on the wheel lining
are just two that came to hand. If you followed the owners forum (its not easy I admit as its closed to owners) its widely accepted that the quality of the cars being delivered now is not good. I'd also suggest opening the boot on a model S and taking a look at the quality of the rear parcel shelf - if that's expensive compared to the model 3, the model 3 will be made of cardboard.
But your wider point about golfs and the issues with those is true.

Not saying they dont have issues, but there will always be ridiculous exceptions to rules.
Tesla came top of an owner satisfaction survey just last year;

Thats not a quality issue though its just a 'they didnt do what they said' issue. Still affects satisfaction but they must be still very close to the top of the list?

Or a thousand others like it.
A guys posted this the other day..
"Question re loaners and insurance.
Tesla informed me a day or so ago I'll be in a loan car for 2 more months. I called my insurance to advise as it's now a fairly lengthy period. Direct Line are asking £250ish to add the vehicle as a temporary additional car (I spent an hour on the phone with them last night explaining it's not actually additional)."
TWO MORE MONTHS while they fix his delivery issues. FFS
The owners group did a poll, 240 responded... half had issues, 4 of which meant they couldn't even leave with their car! That's just shy of 2%
If BMW, AUDI or any other company had 2% of customer unable to leave with their brand new car...! Even accepting not everyone is on a forum, but given they only deliver 1000 cars a year in the uk, thats still going to be 0.5% this year
