Separate names with a comma.
Why is raising the striker plate slightly to raise the rear of the door a fraction of a millimeter a bad idea? (Tesla did that on three of my...
See above.
All modern assembly line paint processes have slight orange peel. It's a normal result of putting paint on a very clean surface. Manufacturers...
I would classify that as very minor. Major changes would be removing or signficantly changing parts of the crash structure (really any part of...
I will bet you the price of a new Model 3 that there will be no major changes to the Model 3 unit body chassis within the next 5 years.
One way to improve the discussion would be clearer language. As the original poster mentioned weight doesn't shift. Load transfers. Weight does...
I would propose that the car is not overbuilt, and in fact is very well designed. It would be nice if a few kilograms could be saved, but all...
Body panel alignment of recent Model 3s is much better than early ones. I took pictures of many cars showing that, which I have not published....
To be clear, are you saying that you want the car to perform worse in crashes? Because that's what you're implying. I say the proof is in the...
If he were more interested in facts, he would check the gaps and finish on recent cars. His very early car probably was not as good as recent...
Sandy says the car is overbuilt. Crash testing shows Model 3 is probably the safest car ever built. My hypothesis is that Tesla designed the body...
Fair enough, but I expect Tesla may have some novel arrangement of high strength steels in Model 3. Bottom line: it physically outperforms all...
Yes, it probably comes from a physics equation.
He probably means the motor has a higher top speed, but that's not the same as much more torque than the other motors of similar weight. The...
Thanks! Musk fires a lot of people. It's not clear who Munro referred to. The Model 3's unit body design is excellent and performs objectively...
