Is this a Leaked Model 3 ?

I expect simplicity. Think Model S with no pop-out handles, manual front seats, standard fold down rear seats, and no glass ceiling. Cloth seats and rubber floor mats. Make it simple and there is less to repair.

There is one thing that should remain the same: Keep the 17" screen!

I don't think so. Tesla should be able to do a better job than this. It looks like an amateur Photoshop of the X

Better than some other renderings/chops I've seen, but this is exactly what I think it is.

How can anyone honestly think this is real? My goodness, I'm sure the King of Nigeria is the one who released this.

Umm...many around here would not put "reputable" and "jalopnik" in the same sentence...unless the "reputable" was preceded by "un". There's a lot of bad blood between Tesla and Jalopnik over the years...their editor took a very anti-Tesla view and started a "Tesla Deathwatch" column back in the day. They've softened a bit (0-60 in under 3 seconds will do that to a gearhead) but still.

I like the front but not the back, also its clearly fake.

Agreed completely.

In addition, no autodimming outside mirrors. No heated mirrors. Question on homelink (BMW 3 series doesn't have it standard, but I think the A3/A4 have it standard). etc.

If you read the article on Jalopnik, they say the picture is most likely fake. It looks like a simple photoshop of the Model X (and likely is).

The Jalopnik article was very interesting to read even if just for entertainment purposes. Lots of good points, lots of questionable ones, lots of fluff. Half of me thinks it was Musk who sent it just for some good old fashioned misdirection.

At this point in the game, it's all entertainment to me. One thing is for sure, we'll know March 31st. Let's just enjoy the anticipation.
