I ordered online to buy a 2021 Tesla model 3

After the test drove a Tesla model 3, I ordered online the purchase at the dealership. Tesla is elegant, "state of the art", "cutting edge technology" and classic vehicle. The delivery fee is free, but this dealership is short of staff, so I must pick-up the car at their dealership in between Dec 19 and 30, 2020.

The Tesla model 3 includes Autopilot (hand free but not fully self-driving), WiFi for internet (the first month is free of charge, but $9.99 per month thereafter), no Falcon wing doors, no spare tire, no 4 wheel cylinder, no greasy motor oil, no transmission oil, no door key (just open by app in your smartphone, or a card assigned to you). No clutter, it is very elegant and clean.

If a theft near the car, the computer will appear "I'm watching you" and alert you on your smartphone and you can watch the suspect from your phone as video recording. Just like my Ring Doorbell, I can see anyone in my front door, side yard and back yard, as I installed 3 surveillance cameras. Everything controls by the computer screen and your smartphone to open door, pre-heat the car, open trunk and front hood. When you leave your Tesla car, you just walk away. Tesla will lock all the doors. When it rains, it automatically wipe your window. When rain stops, the wiper stops. Of course, GPS to guide you. The computer give you the image the cars next to your lanes, front and bac It warns you the battery is low and you can charge the car at home or "Super Charger" stations. No oil pumps, no dirty hands. No motor oil change, no need to add water in the water tank, no transmission oil, .... no maintenance. You can operate your car outside of Tesla by your smartphone to get into parking or exit the parking, summon your Tesla to the drive through window to pick up foods you ordered by your smartphone. Let the clerks surprised that nobody was inside the Tesla but it can drive.

Today is my first time to test drive a Tesla and I love it and ordered one (pearl white). My also came with me, he test drove too.

CNBC said that Elon Musk became the world 2nd richest man that surpassed Bill Gates. The #1 richest man is Amazon CEO, Jeff Bezos.

Originally I wanted a Mercedes Benz, but changed my mind to buy a Tesla car.

BTW, Dow Jones surpassed 30K all-time high today because Wall Street expects the 3 vaccines will come soon in next year. Hooray!!!

The saga of the $35,000 Tesla Model 3 has, once again, taken a dark turn. According to Electrek, the automaker will no longer be offering the cheapest version of its popular electric sedan with the forthcoming model year 2021 refresh. This represents the second time in so many years that Tesla has stopped selling the most affordable version of its mass-market car.

Previously, the $35,000 Model 3 was available but extremely hard to find. Tesla stopped listing it as an option on its site and only made it available “off menu” by selling the car for $38,000 with a $3,000 discount for some software-locked features.

Now, Tesla is informing its sales staff to longer offer the discount for the new Model 3 coming out next year, Electrek says, citing unnamed sources. Tesla sales team won’t be allowed to sell versions of the Model 3 that have been downgraded to “Standard Range,” which was the previous designation for the $35,000 version of the car.

Google it.

    Quoting blueeyesforyou2:
    Congrats, I used to race vintage cars, i know its the best vehicle on the market today by far, enjoy.
I am not a "car guy", but I think "autopilot" has safety feature. The price is affordable.

My main concern about cars is "safety". With autopilot, my hands can leave the wheel but Tesla will remind me to touch the wheel every 15 minutes or so, that I am still awake. However, the model 3 has the advanced "fully self-drive" as long as I pay additional $10,000, or in the future I can ask Tesla to update the "software" to be a "fully self-drive". The technology is already in, just in the short future. Maybe Tesla will lower more than $10,000 for upgrade the fully self-driving, according to the salesman at the dealership.

When you open the front hood, nothing inside but a storage space for you to store your shopping goods or groceries. The front hood and back truck are for storage. No greasy engine, no greasy motor oil, no water tank, no transmission oil, no break oil, .... it is completely empty. It is a BIG surprise to me. No need to have jumper cables either. Excellent!!!

I made good profits on Tesla stock, $36,363 profits in 4 trading days (not including weekend). Almost enough to buy a brand new Tesla model 3, so I decided to buy one today.

Anyone owns a Tesla car?? Please comment.

I am a fan of Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motor, SpaceX and a Solar Panel company. He is an intelligent Engineer, an Entrepreneur, an Environmentalist.

Tesla is a revolutionary vehicle, an electric car. No air pollution. A battery makes the car run and do all kind of genius works with a reasonable price of $35,000. It is a great invention. You should go shop for a Tesla.
