He’s apparently also pledged to pay for anyone who doesn’t have clean water in flint to outfit their house with clean water equipment.  Some guys get a new wife and a fast car during their midlife crisis but not Elon.

I mean, he’s dating Grimes and making Tesla S cars, so why not both?

I didn't follow the cave thing at all but had heard about the tesla guy being involved and was under the assumption he'd rescued people.

Thots?

It's so much fun to drive. The acceleration is incredible. The overall quality is pretty good, and the single screen/controls are so far pretty easy to pickup and understand. Also, having the screen to the side took like no time to get used to. The hardest adjustment so far driving wise is getting used to the regen braking, but that isn't that hard to figure out I'm just really used to coasting.

The walking up to the car and having it unlock automatically is cool, and walking away and having it unlock is also pretty cool. Fun to also to precool (or heat come winter time) the car remotely, as well as a bunch of other controls.

It seems like at every light if someone pulls up to me they want to try to race me/floor it. I'm only slightly exaggerating, people seem to want to see if their car can beat mine off the line. I know this because there will be a few times I am not even paying attention, light changes, and you hear this screech and the car next to me takes off.

Coming from an '06 G6, I am ecstatic just to have most of the connectivity things most cars have today (bluetooth, USB, etc) but that's not particular to the Model 3. Also, in my situation I didn't want to spend the money to fix the A/C and rather set it aside for the car. I can be weirdly cheap about something that isn't so cheap to get.

This doesn't seem like a good feature.

I'd roll over crash in that stud car any day. It definitely performed better than my current rollover experiences ('79 blazer, early 90s grand prix, early 90s lumina z24).

well, the grand prix just rolled over onto it's top. so like a 180. the others were like super barrel rolls. but yes.
