Looks Like They Fixed the Front of the Model 3

[Stirfelt]

I've taken a wait and see attitude.
Personally, I do not like the pictures of the flat, blunt front end. It looks unfinished and like they did not know what to do with it without a radiator and grille. I have told myself that it will evolve into something better.

I really like the picture of the Titanium Metallic vehicle (I think it is "ashRZB4.jpg")(I could not figure out how to include it in this post). It shows a rounded, sculptured front end that appears to me to have design integrity complementary to the remainder of the 3.

Is the optimal aerodynamic bumper shape something that looks too awful to use or does it make so little difference in overall drag?

No, there are other requirements that prevent the perfect aerodynamic shape.

Thank you kindly.

the rev model kind of reminded me of a formula one racer front end

I take exception to the claim that the nose was "fixed". That implies it was "broken". I mostly liked the original nose. In some respects, i like this one less. But I don't get how people can like this one but not like the original when they're nearly the same.

Is this pic on your computer? I want to see it.

The Disagree button doesn't do my reactions justice

The red Model 3 was supposed to be a joke, but I couldn't put a wonky face on a photo. I like the silver front end.

I didn't like the original front. That's why I ended up buying an S. I think they made it look weird for the reveal so they wouldn't Osbourn the S. Elon's a marketing genius.

I think that's giving Tesla/Elon way too much credit. The "new" nose looks nearly the same anyways.

Let's talk about the rear instead...

Maybe it could look better, but I don't have any issues with the rear. I've had sadans with trunks all of my life, until my Model S. It's not a big deal to me that it's not a hatchback, especially since the seats fold down.

I hope this isn't the final version

It won't look THAT much like a Porsche 911

Yeah, I was sitting next to a Audi TT in traffic last week, and I couldn't help but ponder why the hell the Germans evidently think the original bug was the height of automotive design!

(ok, ok, I know-at least you can elect a sane head of state! )

 

[ProphetM]

To be fair, the bug design must have had something unusual going for it, to have lasted 65 years.

well, Franz was one of the designers for the 'New Beetle', so there Is some connection between the modern beetles and Tesla...
