Remember this is just this a prototype mockup it will still have to have an instrument panel in front of the driver if not the driver would have to keep looking to the right and their eyes wound be leaving the driving area.
Chevy Bolt already became obsolete even before it goes into production, haha! Model 3 looks like something from the future. Chevy Bolt looks like an ancient product designed by some closed-mind old dudes.
I think the proportions are perfect, as for the styling, maybe that will change a little by the time of the release but I think it is pretty classic and will grow on a lot people who aren't sure yet.
I see this as a compelling package for the price and think Tesla has moved us another small step further into the future.

I like it. Much like the S and X, the looks depend greatly on color and wheels though.
And hey, they did a nice center console!

I'm intrigued. For the moment I will leave it at that, especially remembering how much the Model S changed from prototype to production version. Of course, I am sure, the differences between the Model 3 prototype(s) (especially interior) and the production version will be more subtle than on the S, but still. Things might still change for the better or the worse.
As it stands, as I said, I am intrigued....positively that is

A centered instrument cluster has been done before in a production car. While I think it might end up with one in front of the driver there's no legal reason why they would have to put one there. Look up some pictures of the old Saturn Ion interior. Center cluster with nothing in front of the driver. I presume this makes it easier to adapt for RHD applications as well.

Right... Tesla didn't just spent YEARS designing this thing. They probably just mindlessly hacked something together late last week, "Crap, we need to reveal something next week! But don't give it any thought, it's not like we're betting the entire company on this car or something."
Obviously they thought it through. Whether it meets your needs or not remains to be seen once we get the production version. It's like the X. It's perfect for my needs because it's a people-hauler, not a cargo hauler. But for those who wanted folding seats, Tesla "didn't think it through." They can't design the perfect car for everyone, but this one clearly hit close enough. So much so, in fact, that I tried to find justification for a second car in our household. (I failed. One car is enough.)
I think it will. It looks to me like the hatchback will open almost to the B pillar.
I love it!
That dark gray is just bad-ass, I might be getting the silver one though, red somehow doesn't work for me, interested in white also.
I'm surprised at center 'tunnel' in front, guess they needed space to put some internals.
Some angles need some getting used to, otherwise 10/10.
Now I wait for part two! And more pics and videos.

no, Elon clearly stated that you could put a 7' surfboard inside. That's hard. Can't put by 6'10" paddle board in my Model S but can in my Toyota Highlander.

If you listen to the audio in the test rides Tesla explains that they are eliminating the instrument cluster in favor of the center display... we'll see if that stays or goes the way of the rear view cameras...

Some engineer (Three days before production begins): "Hey Mr. Musk, did you realize we can't open the trunk? It's one piece of glass!"
Elon: "Holy s**t young engineer, you're right! I can send people to space but I never thought about how to open the trunk!"
Dude, are you for real? Perhaps you haven't thought things through...You understand what a concept is and how this works, right?
How many people can fit into a Mission E?
surf boards are flat. Try to image a big long box. The single glass in the rear, as of now, will definitely impede big large boxes. Flat boxes will be fine.
