    We want some Model 3 Leaks, renders, sketches !

    Red I'm confused are premium cars smaller than regular cars like Chevy or Toyota. I looked up a Toyota Corolla compact car on edmunds and they say Corolla has 110.5 cu ft of interior volume and 13 cu. ft. Of cargo volume. Never sat in a bmw but the Corolla is very nice in size. Hope the 3 has...

    We want some Model 3 Leaks, renders, sketches !

    Is it possible for anybody to place a still picture of the tesla side view of #6 1st page tesla fireflies. I stopped the video on the side view and that is a beautiful car. It's probably from camera being close to the car and it cuts the overhangs down quit a bit, but if they could make the m3...

    Chevy Bolt - 200 mile range for $30k base price (after incentive)

    They could put it on the street side of the dealership and it would be a lot better than an rv park. All the small towns across America are within walking distance of mom and pop shopping and food.

    Chevy Bolt - 200 mile range for $30k base price (after incentive)

    The Chevy bolt might be able to be a long distance bev if gm would put quick charging units on every gm dealership in the country the land is all ready paid for and plenty of electric already there.

    What battery sizes will Tesla offer with the Model 3?

    A 10 percent larger cell plus 5 years x 7 and a half percent greater energy density equals 50 percent more energy density per cell. now do they use less cells and save weight, or go for more range?

    Thoughts on Model 3 Design

    Why couldn't they use the same battery pack and frame as the model s and cut the front and rear overhangs by 7 inches each they would have the same length as a bmw 328 I. Save a lot of money on developing an all new frame and the model s has large overhangs front and rear?

    Will the base Model 3 be front wheel drive and the high end version all wheel drive?

    i think now they can just go to parts bin and install the 188 hp motor from the s 85 into the model 3s rear end for the base model and for the upgrade they can install the other 188 hp up front on the 385d.just a guess? and in 2016 they could have new battery cells by that time ,im guessing 5000...
