    "Refreshed" Model S front end vs mock-ups of Model 3 front end!

    I'm biased because I happen to like the existing Model 3 front quite a bit, but here's my theory: Tesla drops the mustache from the Model S and the Model X as a refresh shortly before or after the Model 3 launch, just like they just refreshed the front of the Model S to match the Model X.

    Possible Model 3 options based on Model S, BMW, and Audi

    I think it's a totally fair comparison. The M3 is designed and tuned for the track in ways that Teslas probably won't be for the foreseeable future. This being said, I have never driven P90D Model S, but from the reviews it sounds like it handles quite well, thanks to the even weight...

    Possible Model 3 options based on Model S, BMW, and Audi

    Absolutely, although I'd argue that both the drag strip nor the track are edge cases. I imagine a lot of people buy an M3 because they want a car that feels fun and exciting to drive on a daily basis, and on that front, I think a Ludicrous Model3 would compare quite well. I used to own a 335...

    Has anyone else spent time calculating possible Model 3 pricing...

    I took a stab at comparing the option pricing for the Model S, Model X, BMW 328 and Audi A4 in this thread: Possible Model 3 options based on Model S, BMW, and Audi Direct link to the spreadsheet: Possible Tesla Model 3 options based on Model S, BMW 328 and Audi A4 I didn't include any...

    Possible Model 3 options based on Model S, BMW, and Audi

    I think that's spot on. The only difference is I'd probably compare the mid-Model3 to a 340i xDrive, since the AWD makes the Tesla faster.

    Possible Model 3 options based on Model S, BMW, and Audi

    Just updated the spreadsheet to include the Model X and updated Model S options. Incidentally, does anyone know what the best comparison would be in the Mercedes lineup? I would have included them, but their model range makes no sense to me.

    Possible Model 3 options based on Model S, BMW, and Audi

    Thanks for the comments, Larry! By M3 in that column, I meant the BMW M3 (as a comparison for a possible Model 3 Ludicrous). I clarified that. I don't have any numbers for the Tesla Model 3 on this spreadsheet, as they would be pure guesses. I doubt the packages will be half the cost of the...

    Possible Model 3 options based on Model S, BMW, and Audi

    Hi friends, I stood in line on the morning of the 31st to pre-order my Model 3, and I've been reading this forum since. Time for a first post! Since we've all got 2+ years of anticipation before we actually get our cars, I figured I'd pass the time by speculating about what options would be...
