What is with the two different grills?

They are not different, just different angle and lightning.

Haha isn't that Doug in the blue shirt with his camera...

That's what I was thinking too...

They are not different, just different angle and lightning.

The first one looks very blacked out to me - pretty sure it is a model.


Where did the info on AWD come from?

 

[Brent]

45 minute recharge? I want to see the claims and equipment behind that!

 

[Kevin Harney]

said all along 45 min recharge with 480V three phase 70 A

Didn't we already have info on that? 440V 70A for the 160 mile battery. Sounds about right to me. Half the battery and double the charge rate as compared with the Roadster.

So, I think von Holtzhausen has done an *awesome* job on this. However, it's still going to be a PITA to fit a front UK plate :frown:

I'm pretty sure they are different grills, maybe an option or they haven't decide on one yet.

You can see one is more mesh Telsa Model S grill is stunning too... Wow! on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Like the Fisker - I like everything EXCEPT the grill

It's not the best but I think it's a lot better than Fisker's. It's pretty much a mix of Maserati and Aston, like what a bunch of us said it looked like when we saw the autocar leak.

 

[Kevin Harney]

Well if I have to pick from BAD grills I think I might actually go for the convertable Sunset but not sure yet. REALLY want pure EV and not REEV

Have you seen both? I think there are two different ones. One is a full silver mesh and the other is black and are horizontal lines with a black bar running across. I think they look pretty good.
