I love vans but i'm not paying 10k more for 15% less range.

I was bored and not too enthused to read this post but you've changed my mind. I love it.

I fear being a target too, or followed home. I just hope it's all in my head. If i park downtown i totally expect some dude with a skateboard is going to try and use it and i hope it holds up.

Back in late 2014 I purchased an Kia soul ev out of CA. I had thoughts of driving it home from the dealership but it was impractical for more reasons than just range. I could only register it in OR if the car was here so that meant i'd have to register it in CA to drive home and then pay to...

Joe bores me, perhaps i need to be high. Thanks for the crib notes everyone.

You could end up being right but like you said, you're making assumptions. I have no facts to dispute your point of view, just my personal feelings and assumptions. They didn't just pick the price out of thin air and they seem to think it will be easier to mfg. not harder. At this point i...

Yeah, a door handle that you can't see but pops out when you come up to the door would be great! I don't see it happening this year but maybe in the next few years. Maybe a 3rd party option first.

For me, a 2m ct is twice as fast as my current vehicle. The 3m is probably more pep than is good for me but the allure of the 3m is 500 mile range.

Bigger battery in the 3 motor. I agree with you though, It's a lot of money from 2m to 3m. Seems like a 2m with a larger battery would sell

There is only one reason i've been able to come up with for not getting one..... Size. Will i be able to go the places i want to go. Mostly yes, but i worry about not being able to park it on a downtown street or parking garage. That is a once a month trip for me so maybe i can work...

Don't base your plans on my feelings. I feel for anyone having to time it right.

I think you are being overly optimistic about December. Remember, model Y is starting first. I hope you are right though.

I should mention it took me some time to fully read and understand what "a better route planner" was telling me. Model type can make no difference all the way to a huge difference. It depends on where you are driving and what is available. For instance, from my house to Reno was almost 1:30...

True, I assume the total charging time would be the same for all versions. However i'd rather stop for 60 minutes and have a meal than twice for 30 mintues.

Kind of interesting. A 1,700 mile trip with a single, double and tri motor takes 15 stops, 15 stops, 7 stops. It's alpha on the range but the extra range from single motor to dual gets you nothing on this trip. A 2900 mile trip across country showed a difference from single to dual. 27...
