I agree. For reference, one my best trips ever was last week in my 2024 Model 3 Performance with 19” wheels. I got 266 miles on 89% of battery or roughly 300 miles on the full battery. I had to avg at least 70 mph during the trip too. That’s about 4.25 miles per kWh. So with R2 having a larger...

I have no issues with Tesla. Lots of people here do of course. It’s a great new addition to Tesla’s lineup. Might be the last “new” car they make sadly. I was thinking of getting one until R2 bc I want the cargo space, don’t care about the 3rd row. I’m just shocked by the pricing. It’s $12k more...

It’s a terrible launch package though if we’re being honest. Doesn’t even have basic lane keeping after FSD expires. So maybe it’ll be $59,990 in 6 months? Still can’t believe that’s the pricing they settled on. So glad I went for R2 instead. Looks like a STEAL now IMO.

$62k is criminal. I thought it would be like $54k between LR and P trims. R2 looks like such a deal now. Tesla is crazy for this.

I’m talking about anything better than L2. Current R2 setup can do point to point. RAP1/LIDAR is allegedly needed for an alleged L3/L4 that doesn’t exist. Same with Tesla. It doesn’t exist. No one actually knows what is needed bc it’s fairytale land stuff at this point to me. Until some OEM...

Until someone does it and I can buy it, it’s all made up fantasy land stuff. Could be 2028 or 2038 who knows really.

Well maybe it’s just Charlotte people then bc they definitely have to go to SC, the exact opposite of what Tesla does lol.

Not really. They waited for a reason, not bc they wanted to. Likely parts shipment and validation.

I've actually changed my mind on this. I was going to wait for LIDAR/RAP1 but there's too many unknowns as it is. LE trim comes with Autonomy+ included. They promised point to point by EOY on the current chip set. That's where Tesla is at now - not eyes off L3 - which will require...

There will be no Gen3 with LIDAR anywhere near Thanksgiving, just to set your expectations.

That's been there for awhile now just FYI. Not sure why it exists as an option though, as others have said.

They won't ship LIDAR units until LE trim is over IMO. Can't see them giving you LIDAR/RAP1 and LE package, which includes Autonomy+. They may have test mules for LIDAR already, but scaling production, getting parts in, and adding to lines seems unlikely til next year.

And ironically if you buy a Tesla in SC you have to pick it up in NC. Rivian lawyers vs Tesla lawyers on interpreting state laws lol.

I know what they told everyone. Seems like a load of BS to me. The priority rankings may have order date, prior Rivian ownership, etc. in the rankings somewhere, but they're so far down the list so they basically don't exist in practicality. YMMV

I will say I have found the glass in the Model 3 noticeably hotter than the two R2 demo drives I did. I think it has a lot to do with the angle of the windshield being very sloped vs upright and also the lack of headroom/space due to the shape of the car in the Model 3. So it just feels a lot...
