There are definitely two camps of tesla folks. One camp seems to be the "tesla as an electric car" camp and creates posts of tesla vs car x. I fall into camp 2: I'm a car guy and bought the tesla for its style speed and luxury. Comparing a tesla to a bolt, volt, prius, murai leaf or other converted ICE cars is ridiculous. May as well compare a Honda Fit to a Ferrari.
What’s blanching, though, is the car’s ride and handling. If anybody was expecting a typical boring electric sedan here, nope. The ride is Alfa Giulia (maybe even Quadrifoglio)–firm, and quickly, I’m carving Stunt Road like a Sochi Olympics giant slalomer, micrometering my swipes at the apexes. I glance at Franz—this OK? “Go for it,” he nods. The Model 3 is so unexpected scalpel-like, I’m sputtering for adjectives.
As we pack up, I’m thinking. Recently I’ve been spending some time in Motor Trend’s long-term Chevrolet Bolt EV and with every mile edging closer to calling it The Automobile 2.0. With its affordability, stress-free range, and delightful driving qualities, I’m thinking that maybe this is where the second era of the car commences. Pause that thought. With the Tesla Model 3’s performance, slinky style, fascinating creativity, and, critically, its Supercharger safety net, I think this is truly where it begins.
I'd say it is very likely they have not (yet) managed to reach expected battery cost reductions. This why the range upgrade is 9k and they are not revealing base pack capacity.
Argh! I really thought base Model 3 would be more than Bolt's 238 even if just by a bit.
Was also hoping battery upgrade wouldn't be about 25% of the ar price!
All the first ones will have the premium options. $5000It's initial base price is $49,000 + $1200 dest, so I'm assuming it gets AP2 to pay for the hardware?
Odd. It makes more financial sense to collect the AP2 fees since they don't actually affect immediate profits.All the first one will have the premium options. $5000
