Looking Forward to the Model 3 Debut

[MorrisonHiker]

So, why do you think the major automakers are coming out with so many new hydrogen cars and not full evs? Or are they and he just decided not to write about it?

Big Oil wants to become Big Hydrogen.

Big Oil wants to become Big Hydrogen.

Then, I'm assuming that there is more money in hydrogen than electric cars?!

125 days to go, I read this today TSLA Stock: Is Tesla Motors, Inc. the Betamax of Automakers? makes me sad

I saw that pop-up on my tablet in Flipbook (great app, by the way), and just based on the title I refused to read it and give them the hit count. :cursing:

There is for the fuel providers.

My sense is that the car manufacturers pushing fuel cells are doing so to pretend that they are doing something to meet more stringent air pollution requirements and quotas. From a physics and energy use standpoint, fuel cells make no sense for light duty transportation, especially when compared to BEVs.

We'll see how things shake out in the next few years. I know how I'd bet on the outcome.

Particularly with the advancement in battery tech. A 500 "real world" miles battery will have quite the impact.

Bigbear what are you going to say 123 days from now when the reveal doesn't happen which is the most likely scenario?

Can we not embed gifs on here?

 

[LargeHamCollider]

Don't think so...

122 days to go and we are into November people

121 days to go and I love you all

121 days to go and I love you all

121 is 11 squared -- so that must mean that there are 11 settings on the Model 3 that will go to 11! Awesome! :biggrin:

The 3rd quarter shareholder letter says "Model 3 unveiling planned for late March 2016" so you'll probably need to add a few weeks to the countdown...and change the title to indicate it won't be in Geneva.

It could say, "Official countdown to when we'd like to see the Model 3". How's that?

I think at this point we're beyond accuracy and more just having fun with a thread that we accept as not accurate. :wink:

Don't try and confuse us with the facts, now!

(BTW, thanks for that link.)

Unveiling should be 2weeks before the naias 50,000 reservations before opening of naias. The rest of the auto industry would finally get it. Bye bye ice.
