They'll take pre-orders in March for a car that won't start production for another two years? -- nm - David Sep 2, 13:48 1
- no. they will take pre-orders in march for a car that wont get delivered for 18 months after that. the car is already been through the design phase - Truman Sep 2, 13:50
I don't know if I want to take on a car again anytime soon but a Tesla at that price would make me consider it seriously -- nm - jangles Sep 2, 13:39 7
- I know, right? - Beryllium Sep 2, 13:40 6
  - oh they would accept your cash upfront for it. they also lease, and offer financing options as well. -- nm - Truman Sep 2, 13:43 5
    - But I don't know if I'd extend my policy to a new car. Seems like a bad idea - but Tesla also seems to hate secondary markets. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 13:44 4
      - the one issue I would have is while there is a small showroom here, there isnt a repair facility. - Truman Sep 2, 13:47
      - Tesla has pre owned cars on their site for sale -- nm - TWuG Sep 2, 13:46 2
        
        Yes, this is true. I guess I'm thinking more of the way they treat buybacks for the Roadster. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 13:48 1
        
        what do you mean? I thought they totally revamped that policy and offer to buy it back (maybe that is only if you buy a newer model though). -- nm - Truman Sep 2, 13:49
I have just been given permission to put in a preorder. -- nm - TWuG Sep 2, 13:38 2
- god I so want to do this. I will have had my car only for 3 years then, I really shouldnt do this. - Truman Sep 2, 13:42 1
  - Mine will be 13 in 2018. I'll need to replace it with *something* by then. -- nm - TWuG Sep 2, 13:44
are you going to pre-order one in march (that wont be delivered until 2018 at the earliest)? also the current prior order cost is $5k upfront. -- nm - Truman Sep 2, 13:37
Model X though... -- (link) - ML Sep 2, 13:35 7
- Which is on par with the P90D-S -- nm - TWuG Sep 2, 13:39 1
  - except maybe even more customizable upfront. - Truman Sep 2, 13:41
- Yes, but it doors that go like *this*, not like *this*. -- nm - Reagen Sep 2, 13:39 4
  - Instead of the sound of hydraulics, the doors whisper "falcon-wing doors" as they open -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 13:42 3
    - and a nice voice reminds you "the falcon wing doors will not provide lift and allow this car to fly. please close the doors before driving" -- nm - Truman Sep 2, 13:43 2
      - About that.... -- nm - Bored Elon Musk Sep 2, 13:45 1
        
        Bored Elon Musk = Doc Brown -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 13:47
