30 cm x 10 cm x 23 cm cm seems smaller than what I remember but I didn't measure it (because it really is too small to put actual luggage in it). I would say it was more like 40 cm x 20 cm x 20 cm (conversions into non-SI units have to be done by the reader). Oh, and one other data point: if...

Impressions from my visit to IAA concerning i3 an Model S: The i3 interior looks tiny but it isn't (well at least not as tiny as I thought): the trunk is about 70 cm deep x 100 cm wide an 32 cm high under the "parcel shelf". That means it is as wide and as high as a Prius trunk with only 10-15...

Trunk Space @Derek: Are you sure these numbers are correct? For us over in SI-land that would mean 96 cm wide by 182 cm deep. I can't quite believe a car as wide as Model S would have a trunk exactly as wide as a thin Prius. I hoped for quite a bit more. Can anyone confirm these numbers?

I certainly don't want to turn this into an EV vs. hybrid or Tesla vs. Nissan thread. But interestingly Nissan's Leaf seems to regeneratively brake when using the brake pedal (up to a point) as does the Volt. I think Tesla's decision to only use mild regen as a replacement for "motor-braking"...

Just to better understand Tesla's regenerative breaking: I am used to Toyota's HSD system that uses a very mild form of regenerative breaking when you lift the accelerator and employs progressively more regen when pressing the brake pedal up to a point when it engages the hydraulic brakes. I...
