≡ Or 3, which one you like to be on the car

[mknoebel]

Except Elon himself calls it the "Model 3".

Maybe nobody taught him how to post a ☰ from his iPhone!
:wink:

Hasn't Tesla/Elon already said it will be the three stacked lines? Kind of the E in the Tesla logo? I like it. SEXY.

I believe he said, "Maybe three horizontal bars", though he never specified whether they'd be stacked on top of each other like the E in the Tesla font. For all we know they could be arranged in a triangular fashion -_- or _-_, but that would be rather silly.

I use 3 just because I am too lazy to find the code or copy and paste the other three lines. But I like the lines more.

As others have guessed, I think that in general it will be typed as "Model 3" and the car itself, as well as promotional/marketing materials/shirts, etc... it'll be "Model ≡"

Apple uses their logo to represent the apple in "AppleWatch" and type apple in literature

 

[roblab]

It's going to be the ≡
so Elon can keep the inside joke alive, despite Ford's threats regarding the original plan for a Model E
s≡x
and it will continue when they unveil the Model Y...
s≡xy

And then with the new Roadster, it can be S≡XYR. Good.

You can type it using the special HTML character code & #8801; (no space, but & is being escaped as you can see).

I motion to, from here on and throughout these forums, we call it Model E. Screw Ford. So sue us.

Everybody in favor say E!

I like the three horizontal bars in the same style that's found in the Tesla name, I think it shows how important and integral the 3 is to Tesla.

The ≡ is a cute idea, but it's a disaster in many ways. You want people to be able to recognize the name of the car so if they see that badge on the rear of the car they know what to Google when they get home (or as they drive :/). Even on this forum, some people call it the Model ≡ and others Model 3. I'm the kind of nerd who has a character sheet right next to my computer here and I still don't remember how to type ≡ (Alt+240) since it's not even Windows/ANSI (most sheets show 240 as ð).

So I'd be happy either way, but I wouldn't blame anyone in marketing insisting they put some sort of unique identifier on the back of the car. Maybe just "Model ≡" on one side and "3-50" or "3-60" on the other.

Most of the luxury brands don't want you to remember the model number. They only want you to remember the brand. That's why companies like BMW and Mercedes use very short, unmeaningful, alphanumeric model names.

I think Tesla needs to do the same and drop the "Model" part of the name, And use only ≡.

I'm hoping for ≡ but without 'Model' in front of it. And just the P70D as well.

I expect the badging will be the same as they are currently showing on the Model 3 page:

 

[alseTrick]

Yup. Just give me the three horizontal dashes. I do NOT want "Model" on it. And "3" would look like a loser German car.
