only that the large battery would be a 75 - but nothing in regard to where that may hit in production.
Thanks, but I was referring to what Trevor's inside "source" told him about what would be built first.

He said in the video where this was mentioned that they should start with big battery RWD before the "D" models.
Thanks! That's what I thought I remembered, but was too lazy to search through the videos.
My guess to battery sizes (which may or may not be software limited to streamline production) and range are 60 / 245 and 75 / 310.
We know that the top range will be less than 330 and that the battery size will be 75 kwh. And it's almost certain the base 3 will beat the Bolt's range of around 237. Though more aerodynamic, the 3 will be heavier than the Bolt so I think the battery will be bigger than the Bolt's 55. 240 would be cutting it too close so I think 245.
And it makes absolutely no sense to have a battery in between - even if the base was a 55 - to get about 280 range.

Wow. The sheer levels of panic displayed here are rather dismaying. It seems many of you have succumbed to the 'reality' of FUD mongers these past few days. Are you Fearful? Uncertain? Doubtful? If so, then their mission is near complete.
I would urge you to reflect upon this recent news in the best possible light, instead of in brooding shadows. Remember the extreme bad press that Naysayers wielded to extreme effect upon the release of Model X Founders edition vehicles relative to Tesla's pricing. Understand the embarrassment that caused Tesla and Elon Musk. Accept the absolute necessity that NOT happen with Model 3 upon its release.
Chill. Relax. Chillax.

and for those with stock, reflect on what a good day friday was.
For the official tweet thread:
This means centered on the driver, of course, since we already have the 'overall centered' display.

@elonmusk But but but... Can we PLEASE have a central speedometer in the 3 for those of us who don't want autopilot

I don't like the answer, but at least it is direct.For the official tweet thread:

Those desiring a heads-up display or central gauges could try the Navdy:
And, I hate to say, I wish the questioner had said 'driver centered'... we spend half our time being 'Kremlinologists' parsing every little word... I think we can assume Elon knows the question was/he meant nothing for the driver centered position, but, as is too often the case, it was not explicitly stated. (And we already have a speedometer on the 'actual (the one and only) central screen', as has been demo'd.)
Of course, I've already seen a thread post where it says 'hey, he didn't rule out a HUD, just a speedo!'...
Someone needs to ask: Will there be *any information displayed in front of the driver?* and see what we get.
Saw that yesterday; like Erik, I don't think it fits too well in an S. Don't know how it would work in a 3. And it doesn't have any 'Tesla' info (like AP feedback) unless the app for it could somehow connect to the car...
Make of this what you will: No HUD, and we won't care it doesn't have a speedometer right in front of us. WTF.... (and there was no answer to Fred at the bottom...)
Don't have high expectations guys , when I heard there won't be a dedicated display for speedometer I was angry , now kinda got used to it but still pisses me off , although I'd didn't see dedicated hardware buttons for hazard lights / trunk opening in model 3 . Think that will be digital or will release candidate have hardware buttons for it ?

I was told RWD and bigger batteries were first. Can't see how the batteries really matter though as they're not any more complicated than a lower capacity battery.
