    Model 3 Trunk with Rear Seats Folded Down

    Cool, if only it was a hatchback... Wait, if the glass roof prevented a hatchback, why can the car have a hatchback if you get the metal roof?

    Model 3 in 2018 or wait until early 2019 for Model Y?

    I'll probably cancel my reservation and hope the Y is the car I wanted, I was extremely disappointed by what the 3 turned out to be...

    Model 3 Dashboard... What are we looking at?

    Am I the only one who absolutely hates that wood trim? It makes the dashboard look like an office desk with a steering wheel attached....

    What if no Model 3?

    I would most likely end up buying an ICE, I would consider a Hybrid or plugin, but only if the price is right and if it isn't a prius.

    Model 3 Reality Check.

    Awesome comparison, but to be fair the glass roof on the 3 probably won't be standard, which might make the sunroof also an option...

    Adjustable Sun Visors?

    I doubt it will have any, remember you are not meant to drive it.

    What would make you cancel your Model 3 Reservation?

    I agree, most people can tell the difference in speeds, unfortunately as far as I know, it's illegal in the US to drive a car without a speedometer, which is my concern if something were to happen to the single display that pretty much controls everything. Sure, it's very unlikely that the main...

    What would make you cancel your Model 3 Reservation?

    I'm perfectly fine with the minimalist interior, but the hovering screen bothers me, a lot. I'm also, very skeptical of the single screen for all data output/input. The way I see it, if you don't get autonomy driving you get half a car, if the screen freezes/breaks/gets stolen (this is probably...

    Probability of Autopilot becoming standard when Model 3 ships?

    This is the main reason I'm losing hope in the 3. The car is being built for full autonomy, but full autonomy won't be out this year, it might be out next year... maybe. Also, if the 3 follows current pricing, full autonomy might be an extra $8k, so an autonomous 3 will be $43k, not $35k; which...

    If it all goes wrong, what will we buy?

    I might just buy a cheap ICE to pass the time, until the Y or another non ecobox EV comes out.

    Did Tesla lose focus by making the Model 3 an autonomous car instead of a great EV?

    True, but I honestly don't think Tesla is in the position to be doing trial and error, since they have finally gotten to the point in which they can take on the big boys on the block. Tesla can easily be crushed by their own weight if they make a big mistake, they aren't GM or VW who can just...

    Did Tesla lose focus by making the Model 3 an autonomous car instead of a great EV?

    I agree with the idea that Tesla is moving towards an autonomous future, but I honestly think only the 3 will embody that idea. That's, the 3 will be (at some point in time) autonomous, but the 3 will be the only Tesla with the ultra plain interior,since the 3 was designed to be a taxi, just...

    Elon Tweet: No 'significantly new consumer-facing technology' in Model 3

    I really hope I'm over reacting, but... Ever since I put down a deposit, I never expected to get a fully loaded S for half the cost, I expected a basic version of an entry level S (with the ability to upgrade its components as long as I was willing to pay the premium), not a lesser car. I know...

    Poll: Have you changed your mind?

    I want AWD, so I'm not getting mine until probably mid 2018, so that means no tax credit... I might delay configuration if I feel there is no point to getting the car soon. But my number one priority is the cost of the options, this is the true deal breaker.

    Loaded cars produced first...

    Honestly, I'm not sure how to feel about this. I want/need AWD, but that will push my order well into next year, which might make me miss the rebate, BUT I'll have more time to save up and maybe push for a P, also by the time I get my car most glitches and bugs will have been dealt with...
