Quick update - have had the car for 3 months now and still having a absurdly great time! The instant torque at any speed never gets tiring! A very faint and occasional rattle sound is coming from the front left of the car. I have an appointment on Monday next week at the local service center to have it looked at.

Some new shots.

Great pic; I really love the Model S in silver; saw one yesterday actually. On Saturday I went and looked at the Model 3 and the Model S. The Model S is quite a bit nicer inside, but the 3 seems to offer a lot of value for the price point. I drove the 3 and was impressed - I am excited to see Tesla doing well as it's good for the entire auto industry IMO.

That's a sweet looking car. That color is not available for the 3 unfortunately.

Edit: it looks silver to me. If its white, than my monitor is playing tricks

^^ No, it's silver. You don't see many of them around because I think it was only offered for 1 or 2 model years (2016 and 2017 I believe)

Thanks! Yes, agreed, if there is one thing that Elon can be credited with without any question is that he has convinced the world that EV's are the future of transportation. If you do decide to get a Tesla, let me know as you can get 1000 miles of free supercharging if you use my referral.

Thanks! Yes its silver. It's a unicorn as this color was discontinued in 2017 I think. Are you planning on getting a 3?
