There’s been some construction going on in a shopping center parking lot right by my house. Couldn’t figure out what they were building. Yesterday it dawned on me that it’s a 6 stall charging site. For giggles I went on the Supercharger site and sure enough it said, Windsor CA coming Q1 2021. It’s a great site for one, just off 101, with food, hotels etc easy walk right there. I’ll let you know if it is laid out to support a tow thru. |

That will be important for truck customers going forward. |

Wait a minute, didn't they promise a "low cost" model that never really materialized? Well, it kind of did, but this appears to be another "I'll believe it when I actually see it in the flesh". Heck, they're still working on getting the semi from 3 years ago, and the pickup from two yeas ago, out and about. But anything to keep the hype alive. Howard and Peggy "Don't Panic" |

The base M3 was available for the promised $35,000 for at least a limited time. Current base M3 is $37,990 in the US. The M2 is slated for the China market and could be a bit before it gets to the US. 2001 F150 SuperCrew 2006 Keystone Springdale 249FWBHLS 675w Solar pictures back up |

They haven't produced the base Model 3 they promised so why would they make this low margin car when they are a capacity with the higher profit vehicles. They need to keep perfecting the middle/higher level product and branch out to new markets later. |

It didn’t sell well and for the extra 3000 bucks the plus model seemed like a worthwhile upgrade for many. At 36900 they’ll still sell a ton of cars and it’s actually pretty good bang for the buck. Jmho. |
