Model 3 reservations available 31 March
Here is a link from today , showing some pics.

If it arrives even $1 under $60k it will sell we...

Voltswagen from VW anyone?

If they did, in a few years, which model would you choose?
Here is the link : VW Bev Specific Division

Hi , had a Volt for 2.5 years, still have it. I do around 30 kms per day, and charge overnight every 2nd or 3rd day, so do not use any fuel at all normally.
