    This is the only thing I'm not a huge fan of. But it is customizable. When it first started up I didn't really like it much either as it does seem really busy. But I think part of that is so you can read a little of what the most recent post was in the unread thread..but I don't think that is necessary.

    F, that's beautiful! I really want an ATS as well.. Though I'd want a sedan. I LOVE the LEDs on the Performance Package.

    I think they're getting away with it because of what the are, EV. There really isn't competition out yet(Bolt VERY shortly but still no S competitor). So that gives them the leeway on the delays and delays and delays oh and the quirky doors. I'd definitely want to go with AWD here because it adds some range as well. 8 miles to the 60kWh battery and10 miles to the 75kWhr battery. It isn't much but between snow and performance I'd want it. Worth 5k..? Doubtful. I'm curious what the cost is to buy the 60kWh battery and upgrade to the 75kWh battery because it says, "upgrade to the 75kWh battery at any time" on their page when building the 60kWh. $1000 for a cold weather package isn't anything new because not every car comes with heated seats, heated steering wheel, wiper blade defroster, and heated washer fluid jets. That doesn't come standard on any car, even the S Class. Heck it's $645 for a Focus to add heated seats, steering wheel, mirrors, and floor mats. Yeah they're charging for the Supercharging stations on the 3 unless you buy the package. No word on the package's price yet, as far as I know. Depending on the price I don't see a problem with either charging them at the station or paying upfront for it. I would likely not pay for it unless I was a traveler. I'd just charge at home.

    Oh well.. I tried! But the Astson is sexy as F. Of all colors I wouldn't get white.. and I would sure as hell take that tow hook out of the front bumper too but Aston has always made beautiful cars, that's for sure.

    Unless it was my DD, I wouldn't care because it would never be closed anyway lol

    Man, I love the Targas! Way cooler to me than a convertible.

    Yeah I had to make sure I added all of the carbon bits(carbon fiber exterior package was $5,300), fancy leather, high end sterio system($4,500), carbon brakes( $8,900)and the AMG GT S started at $131,000 so it wasn't too difficult to surpass $150,000

    S Class coupe? That's a beast of a car.. Or a variation of a Contiental from Bentley. Continental GT starts at $198,000 and the S Class Coupe starts at $121,000 and a S63 Coupe is $163,000. Those are cars built for larger people with sporty intentions/GT intentions.

    It would be between these two little girls up front. But I think in the end I would go with this one..
  10. ccap41
    I wonder what I could get a GLI/GTI for with said discounts.. Probably too much still.
  11. ccap41
    I just built a SVR with every single box I could check and it rung up to $149,925..lol Oh wait, I forgot to add the spare wheel for $400! hahaha $150,325. Not sure if that's what I would go with but I know I couldn't get sick of that Jag V8. Something about that just gets me goin'. The 911 would tear it up but it would sound the best getting beat.
  12. ccap41
    Love these! Without thinking too much it would be hard to stray away from a 911 Turbo(S). It's just one badass car. But gimme a little bit and I'll see if I can come up with something I would rather have for 150-200k.
  13. ccap41
    I never would have guessed. I just assumed a smaller payment for the lease would save you money while the car is depreciating no matter what while I "own" it, somewhat regardless of the miles put on it.
  14. ccap41
    Interesting to know that, great find! I wonder if that 13% includes the regeneration from getting back down to pedestrian speeds. I know it's kind of splitting hairs at that point.. but not really as it's an electric vehicle that you can't just go to the gas station just outside of the track to fill up for the drive home. I also think that scale should say "hundred thousands" not just "thousands" at the bottom. It's a misleading graph as-is.
  15. ccap41
    I'm curious what kind of range depletion there is when you go balls out for just 1 0-60 run or 1/4 mile pass in a car like this.
  16. ccap41
    How did that not get totaled out? That had to be like 90% of its value if it was fairly base and a few years old.
  17. ccap41
    Completely agree with your second part. Auto makers are making vehicles to the point where average joe can barely touch his own car because it's just so complex or difficult to get to certain areas of a car. Then there are hybrids with insane electricity "flowing" through them that you have to be extra careful with.
  18. ccap41
    Hahaha right?! Pretty absurd price jump if you ask me.. But they must know people are willing to pay the difference.
  19. ccap41
    I would love that! Lol
  20. ccap41
    I have to have them fogs on any vehicle I own. Something about them I love irrationally.
  21. ccap41
    Jeez 7500 miles???? That's a little ridiculous, IMO.
  22. ccap41
    Yeah leasing properly can really benefit somebody. For instance, if my mom OR dad leased one of their two vehicles they'd probably save a munch of money. They both live only 3 miles from work but they di visit my sister a handful of times a year in IA so they would still surpass the minimum mileage on ONE of their vehicles. Then again, my dad keeps their vehicles for ~7-8 years so they do get their monies worth from them as-is. Similar situation for a buddy of mine's fiancé. He said once her car is paid off they will likely lease her next car because she puts so few miles on it. If you can fit into the bottom two rungs of a lease mileage-wise it can be pretty beneficial.

    EVERTHING falls at some point. Look at ANYTHING, EVER, AT ANY TIME in history and tell me it never changed or fell from leadership to peasant at some point. A good organization/company/country will sustain it longer but let's be honest.. nothing ever lasts forever. Period. That's just the way she goes.

    I probably should have clarified as well that each battery jump is NOT equal. 60kWh -> 75kWh = $8500 75kWh -> 90kWh = $15,000 90kWh -> 100kWh = $43,000(But this also gives no RWD option, only AWD)
  25. ccap41
    Do you already know their packaging for the Model 3? It might not be as bad as you think. We know larger batteries and all wheel drive will quickly drive the price up(and driving range). The jumps from battery packs and AWD alone are massive on the Model S. 60kWh -> 75kWh = $8500 60kWh RWD -> AWD = $5000 Base model -> 75kWh AWD = $13,500 There aren't a whole ton of options that jack the price sky high other than batteries and AWD. Yes, there are cold weather packages, their nifty air suspension, and then their Premium package but other than that Autopilot has been said it will be standard on the Model 3. Premium Package= $3000(most of this is junk like HEPA air filtration, LED interior lighting, lighted door handles...) Air Suspension= $2500 Cold Weather= $1000 Point being... They don't come stripped down and there isn't really a reason one must assume a 20-25k option list is a must on a Model 3.
