    I vote for 3, because seeing ≡ everywhere on this board is starting to hurt my eyes.

    What about "Model 3" on one side and "≡60" on the other?

    Then people can go home and Google "Model 3", which will naturally lead them to "
    ≡60" and the like.

    It will say "Model 3", so people new to Tesla know what it is and how to pronounce it.

    Imagine someone new to Tesla seeing a car with the Tesla logo and "Model ≡" on the back. They'll have no idea what it is. They can't ask their friends about it or Google it. "I saw this new car with a bunch of random symbols on the back. No name. I wonder what it was?"

    What's the easiest way to type the ≡ on a Mac?

    I think Tesla is to young/new and modern/digital to use Morse code in their model naming ;) Or have you seen any "Model ···" yet?

    Dead easy
    System Preferences
    Keyboard
    Text (tab)
    Hit the + to add a new replace
    type the letters you want to use (I chose m 3 s together)
    Hit tab key
    cut and paste ☰ from this thread
    hit return and close sys prefs
    Now every time you enter your chosen string of characters you get ☰
    :)

    this just proves that the age of this board isn't young enough yet :)

    I will be happy as long as it has the Tesla "T" on it. They can call it what they want. I'd go with the ≡ and let the difficulty doing searches cause more headlines. And maybe break the computers at the trademark office :)

    The ≡ can be hard to read. It is not unusual that I get tailgated by people trying to read the logo.

    (Also "Model ≡" isn't searchable on the forum.)

    Use 'Model 3' or 'Model Three' when typing headlines or titles to new threads and everything should be fine with search engine indexing.

    Sorted.

    Something tells me that when there was a Pininfarina Sigma Grand Prix race car there weren't so many complaints over the chosen emblem on their enthusiast message boards in 1969...

    And Mitsubishi had no problem putting the emblem on their cars years ago:

    I think it will be the symbol on the car, just like it is the symbol when reproduced in the Tesla logo.

    In written text, it will be a '3', just like Tesla is typed out as 'Tesla' and not 'T≡SLA'. That's just cheesy. And it's like nails on a chalkboard when I see it here in posts.

    It would be like seeing everytime someone typed Tesla, that they typed '
    T≡SLA', again and again. Cute once. More than once? Annoying. Totally annoying. Like the teenage girl who dots her i's with little hearts.

    Sincerely,

    Bonnie,

    I don't think it is fair that you keep winning the internet. Please give all of the other kids a chance.

    I love that - T ☰ S L A is just the Tesla "mark" or logo isn't it, so Model ☰ will likely just be the same and be written as Model 3 everywhere else.
    We will have to see what happens to Tesla and Elon tweets after the reveal.
    Will it be 3 or ☰
    Will we be the teenage girls or grown adults - who knows with this forum :biggrin:

    Which is the "E" in Tesla. They got shot down by Ford who own "Model E" and I think Tesla would be in breach if they used the same symbol that they do for the "E" on the car like that.
