    Poll: Model 3 Front

    I rather like some of the renders people have posted here. Somewhat Porsche-like but I agree they don't need to be sure to maintain a unique look to some degree.

    Poll: Model 3 Front

    Well I think the front needs some tweaking but the Model S/X mustache isn't the way to go either, imo...

    Had you already driven a Tesla before you ordered M3?

    Yes. I hope the 3 can at least somewhat capture the fun I had in the S. I was just shocked at how quick and responsive it was, especially for such a large, heavy sedan.

    What will a Panoramic Roof cost on Model 3?

    Ah, I see.

    Steel or Aluminum for body panels?

    That and aluminum is lighter. Ford makes mass produced aluminum bodied trucks now so I don't think it's totally out of the realm of possibility that the M3 would be aluminum too.

    What will a Panoramic Roof cost on Model 3?

    What's the difference between glass and pano?

    Motor Trend live at Gigafactory with Model 3 today!

    Well the current front end still isn't quite a slamdunk for me but I have to say my opinion of it has improved! I also have to reverse my opinion that the Tesla mustache would look better. No it wouldn't. Additionally, I tend to find silver cars rather boring and bland, but the Model 3 certainly...

    Some stuff I wrote on Model 3

    Well we know for sure it comes with Autopilot hardware but has it been confirmed that the Autopilot option will be extra? I assumed they were still working out what would be standard and optional...

    POLL: Model 3 Options, what will you spend your money on?

    Unless it's ridiculously expensive, the primary option I want even if I get no other will be AWD. Secondary might be Autopilot and Supercharger access but they could always come later I guess. Air ride suspension, premium interior, larger battery and upgraded wheels would all be nice but aren't...

    Do you have a charging location?

    Yeah, a representative at the local store expressly said they discourage locals from using their supercharger. It's for people passing through. I think that's reasonable. I asked about the issue of some people not having garages/parking on the street and he said that's something Tesla hasn't...

    Who pre-ordered before the car was seen?

    I do get the vibe this is something of a pivotal point in automotive history. In my view, Elon Musk is almost like a modern Henry Ford and I suspect history will reflect as such.

    Who pre-ordered before the car was seen?

    I wish I had but I reserved mine at the store the morning after the reveal. The people who waited in line on the 31st are the only ones getting anything, right?

    Preorders approaching 400,000

    That is awesome. I hope they can be delivered in a timely fashion!

    No sound, no soul?

    The relative silence or whirring of EVs are part of the charm, imo!

    HUD possible for model 3?

    With no instrument cluster, I would certainly hope there's a HUD of some sort! I frankly *think* I'd prefer a cluster on the order of what's in Tesla's existing vehicles but a HUD could be cool, maybe incredibly cool, depending on how they handle it. Minimally, I want to see basic information in...

    No sound, no soul?

    Yes, right... it's because we don't enjoy cars of various flavors that loud, startling noise annoys us.... :rolleyes: Read what I said. He's saying that all people with loud cars are aholes and I'm saying that's a ridiculous generalization. You and I are basically agreeing so I'm not sure...

    Your Ideal Model 3 Color Configuration

    Ford's Grabber Blue has been around since 1970. As for the Model 3, from the current color palatte, I would probably go Solid Black, Solid White or Midnight Silver Metallic. I'm not usually one that prefers bright colors but I guess my head could be turned depending on what other, if any, color...

    No sound, no soul?

    That's exactly what he said: "I treat it a social warning. "Warning. The person driving this vehicle is a complete and utter ahole." No, I hear loud cars all the time but I guess it rarely ever bothers me. I've known or interacted with plenty of nice people with loud vehicles. Of course, I've...

    No sound, no soul?

    I'd call them a person with a loud car?
  21. Wolfsburg

    No sound, no soul?

    I would agree. I'd say calling everyone who likes a loud engine "a-holes" is painting with a pretty broad brush.
  22. Wolfsburg

    No sound, no soul?

    Well, I'm not going to presume to guess what people "need" but for me it depends entirely on the thing making the noise. A throaty V8 sounds beautiful to me but a little Fast n Furious wannabe rice racer that sounds like an overgrown weedeater is just the opposite.
  23. Wolfsburg

    No sound, no soul?

    I too thought EVs would not really have a "soul" and simply feel like driving a boring appliance but as soon as I drove a Model S, I was happy to be proven wrong. I have alternatives for engine sounds via other vehicles. For me the silence (or electric motor "whirring") is just part of the...

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

    I'm frankly not crazy about the Tesla "mustache" but I do think it'd improve the looks of the 3's front fascia as it currently stands. I'd vastly prefer to see something similar to Mihai75's rendering personally. Grill-less without any added frills but shaped in a more attractive way (to my eye).
  25. Wolfsburg

    Front End... Hmmmmmm

    I am perfectly fine with the grill-less design but I do agree the current blunt nose needs some tweaking/refinement. Aesthetically, it's currently the only aspect of the 3 that I'm not quite crazy about. I do think the current design looks better with the Model X's (and now Model S's) mustache...

    How will you pay for your new model 3?

    So Tesla takes checks but not cards? I had actually not considered this. I'll probably put down a decent downpayment and finance the rest.

    Tax Credit Clarification
