    What is your occupation?

    Yeah, the apps aren't great, but fairly new. I think it just came out last year, but seems to work. Fun fact - the prioritization for the roadside calls through the app are bumped ahead in line (vs calling). I'm not sure if that has been fixed since it first came out last year, but worth a try...

    The Model 3 ruined my life

    I can't wait for a refined EV Golf R or GTI. Take my money!

    The Model 3 ruined my life

    Lol, everyone complains about rattles. I haven't experienced any yet.. I thought my sunroof made some noise once, but I haven't been able to replicate it. I think you guys just modify without respecting proper torque specs. :p

    The Model 3 ruined my life

    Yeah, it's definitely an exciting and innovative time we get to experience. I'd happily grab an EV Golf R/GTI even if the only thing that changed was the drivetrain. The refined interior, body, and handling matched with a powerful electric drivetrain would be awesome! Though it would likely be...

    Evo 11 coming?

    Right there with ya! I do sometimes miss my blue STI interior from my '04 and '06. I've been in a lot of EVOs too.. almost bought a couple, but those interiors were not nice. My STI was quicker and meaner, but the GTI is my favorite overall car I've ever owned.

    The Model 3 ruined my life

    Well put! I agree with all of your points on the Tesla. I haven't heard of the Taycan yet, but will look into it. The EV game is certainly exciting.

    Nice, welcome to the community. Any plans to modify?

    The Model 3 ruined my life

    Lol, I'm not one to race from a light anyway.. especially not in a GTI. These cars are made for the circuit courses, not dragstrips. :cool: Besides, that's like lining up next to a street bike and initiating a race you'll surely lose. EVs are in a different category.

    The Model 3 ruined my life

    Reporting back from my test drive and....... Meh, I'm not impressed. :rolleyes: Yes, it's cool technology. Yes, it accelerates fairly quickly (the Performance model I wanted to drive wasn't available, so I drove the mid tier AWD model with a mid 4 second 0-60), and the auto pilot feature is...

    The Model 3 ruined my life

    Thanks. I've since gotten more clarification on this since posting my reply too. Apparently, you can use the app to set certain charge points/times too. Pretty cool. Anyway, I have my AWD Performance model test drive scheduled for tonight at 6:30. I'm fully expecting the experience to "ruin my...

    The Model 3 ruined my life

    What? Why? :confused: Is there a source on this? I imagine that missing 20% greatly decreases range..

    The Model 3 ruined my life

    A friend of mine ordered his last Tuesday and got it Saturday.

    OK, which of you morons is this?

    Wow... reminds me of the picture I saw of a lady standing on a step ladder in her yard to get a better smartphone picture of the recent eclipse.. except much more dangerous. :rolleyes:
