    Model X interior quality step down/Cost reduction. Why?

    No hatch-back on model 3 - Anyone else disappointed.

    I think a hatchback is very nice. Love having it on the S. Anyone else disappointed? Would you like to have it back? I know that the glass roof reaches all the way back but why? who cares. Having a frunk does not make up for the versatility of a hatchback.

    Some people think that 30 minutes is too long to wait for a charge

    A lot of people think that the convenience of plugging in at home is not worth the extra planning they'd have to do. Look at the better choice they make.
