  • Fred I had a 2009 S-line mine was chipped but otherwise stock. I still say it was the best "new" car I ever had. I wanted to get the new A3, but it was too expensive, didn't come with a hatch and no manual.

Tesla is the only auto maker with a reasonably coherent strategy involving manufacturing their own cells in the United States.
