    4th Generation Tesla - "Affordable for all"

    I absolutely think that Tesla would try their hand at a budget model - IF battery costs sink further (keep in mind that Lithium prices will probably rise significantly and make this a bit more difficult) it would seem to be the thing to do. I don't think EM is too preoccupied with keeping the...

    Front End... Hmmmmmm

    I'm totally cool with the bullnose on the revealed car, but do think the porsche-revision looks even better.. Great job!

    Elon tweet re: lack of instrument cluster

    that absolutely makes sense!

    Elon tweet re: lack of instrument cluster

    Yeah.. change the title.. totally misleading. I bet a HUD is actually less expensive than an instrument cluster.. Makes total sense to forego the cluster and just have the essentials projected onto the windshield... Seems Teslaesque to take it up one notch, and add at least a little bit of...

    Prediction: Model 3 reservation crush will spark Supercharger competition

    If I had a gas station in a prime downtown location I would be starting to consider my options down the road pretty seriously by now. I imagine that in 3-7 years it could very well be that Teslas (which don't have their own charger at home and have to park on the street) roam the streets alone...

    Car and Drivers comment about the Model 3....

    if the Bolt, new i3, and the rest also sell over the next few years - it may be way more than just 1 million by the end of 2020.. I credit Tesla (and Musk) almost entirely with the wave of new EV's coming out.. The revolution they sparked is much larger than just Tesla's output itself.

    Prediction: Model 3 reservation crush will spark Supercharger competition

    my prediction: the first company that agrees to partner with Tesla to use and significantly expand the supercharger network, will be among those that come out on top in the end. I wish BMW would just pull themselves together and do this. Imagine if every single appliance you bought had a...

    Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    ufff. replacing all those windshields would be pretty expensive..... maybe they can design some fashionable eyewear that reduces the image back down to normal ;)

    Model 3 is beautiful!

    well.. I don't see anything wrong with people posting their negative opinions on the aesthetics of the model 3.... Whether perty or not, the one thing you cannot say is that the model 3 looks 'cheap' for the price... They certainly didn't try to make it look more primitive, like basically...

    We want some Model 3 Leaks, renders, sketches !

    if we keep diligently requesting it - I am pretty sure Tesla would put a HUD in the model 3.. (exactly this 2 way communication with Tesla is what makes it so different from other OEMs.... Did anyone else notice how the 2 big gripes from consumer reports on the initial model S were that it...

    Un-Noticed but Most important - Lithium.

    anyone got some hot lithium mine tipps? I'm in at 'pure energy minerals' for a few bucks.. They seem to be a long way from production, but to mostly have their *sugar* together. Anyone know a guy, that knows a guy, that actually knows something about who the most promising suppliers are?

    Model 3 is beautiful!

    yes, center dash speedos are annoying.. i presume a HUD might be in store... I am confident though, that they will figure it out.

    Model 3 is beautiful!

    it is absolutely beautiful for a 35,000k midsize car! Comparing it to the S or X or the ******* Porsche mission E is a bit off. Compare it to the chevy bolt.

    Show Us Your Tents!!

    pretty remarkable. Seems possible they might crack 100,000 with 24 hours.

    Wired.DE photo of 3 under a cloak

    The dimensions of the powerwall have to be easy enough to find - there has to be someone on here who's in the mood to make an educated guess of vehicle length based on that ;) then minus a bit for the angle, ofcourse ;)
