Just as long as it doesn't morph into that fat lipped grin that became part of the Mazda design language during Franz von Holzhausen's tenure.

That's almost certainly the battery. In the prototype they used a Roadster powertrain, so the battery would have been elsewhere.
I wonder whether they're going to offer batteries painted to match the body color? If so, then switching batteries might have quite a jolting effect. On the other hand, you could go and get a Very Orange battery on a black car just for Halloween! :smile:
maybe they could offer different nose options? It would definately be the only car on the market with that kind of option!
I am not disappointed in the car itself. I am disappointed that one of the more complete Alpha Builds was not shown.
I second this. It was very unique and bold that Tesla exhibited the bare Model S shell, so that all may appreciate the engineering. However, there would have been nothing wrong with also displaying a complete Alpha car (which they obviously have now) alongside of it. "Here's the car; here's how it's made." Many companies will display cutaways in this manner. With the high profile of the Detroit show, I do not understand failing to take advantage of this opportunity at all.
That may be it, but they also said that they haven't gotten to the point where they are ready to lock down the interior and it was subject to change. If they show a preliminary interior too much, it'll give false expectations.Just a guess, but I suspect the interior is less than show ready.

Uh oh. The nose is starting to grow on me. (maybe just needs to be a bit less glossy).
Is that wrong? Do I have a sickness?
Same here! I want to love it (Ok, I do love it) and would replace our Roadster for it but when I see it in person it is just too big. Big and beautiful. Lovely to look at but too big to hug.
Extra frustrating when I read between the lines that Franz wanted a smaller car too.
Photo of 3rd brake light on; I like how the light illuminates completely across the glass portion of the hatchback.
