No changes to the the stainless steel sheet metal, only change is to the front pillar location and wrap around glass for the front windshield.

No photoshop but I would like them to use wrap around glass for the windshield to improve the vision out the front.

I agree

Another small change would be wrap the front light around into the fender to match up to the fender better.

Changes I would make in priority order. 1. Do away with the raked front pillars and make the front windshield wraparound. Vision out the front should be a high priority. 2. Make the side panels on the bed retractable making it easy to reach over the side of the bed when needed.. 3. Make the...

I like this a lot better! I would be ok with the looks because the strong stainless skin probably cannot be stamped and the straight skin probably cost a lot less to manufacture, if they did away with the raked pillers and made the glass wrap around the windshield like vehicles in the 60's.

Tesla should consider allowing a tesla vehicle owner with FSD the option to transfer the FSD from their vehicle to a new Tesla vehicle. Tesla would have more owners buying FSD with owners remaining loyal to the brand.

Does Tesla allow the remote access to be pin or password protected? If not that should be considered for a future release. With remote access pin or password protected, the thieves would not of been able to turn off remote access and Tesla could of tracked the vehicle.

The point of my post is Tesla says their cost for Supercharging will be cheaper than gas, and yes Supercharging was intended for road trips. Therefore, my examples compare Supercharging on the road with paying for gas on the road. I am not including charging at home and It would be misleading...

Tesla’s Supercharger network until now has been a big selling factor for Tesla. With the new rates in Washington State, this advantage is greatly reduced. Therefore, I don’t think Tesla can fairly claim that their Supercharging network will never be more expensive than gas. Let me give a...

Do you think this person looks a lot like Elon?

I would be more likely to purchase EAP (Enhanced Autopilot) and FSD (Full Self-Driving Capability) if I was able to transfer these option to a new Tesla in the future.

I remember Elon saying in a video interview, not to long ago, that the rear motor is designed more for city driving and the front motor designed more for highway driving for the dual motor setup. I can't remember where he was doing the interview. With the front motor designed more for highway...

Unrealistic, maybe. When you consider the impact the model 3 reservations made on Tesla as a company, I don't think it is unrealistic for Elon to want to reward the early reservation holders in a big way. I believe the initial model 3 reservation holders propelled the company toward their goal...
