For this to have 215 mile range, autopilot, insanly futuristic interior and, oh by the way it looks better than a $58,000 Porsche.
I find your comparison to the prius to be quite *poultry

It will destroy the Bolt. I just wanted more of a mini S than a mini X. I thought the latter would be the Model Y.
Mission E? don't know. But what I do know is, it looks much better than this car exterior.
Can't open trunk? Never said anything about can't open trunk. I think you need to check your reading skills.
As for concepts, sure I can give tesla some slacks on the design. Maybe they will fix it or what not. Still doubt they will drastically make it much better looking before release.
The Model X alpha had a floating screen. I went away in the production version. I'd expect the same here for safety and durability.

I'm disappointed we didn't see any pictures.

Elon said in his presentation that Tesla pushed all of the instruments forward so there would be more space in the car for the passengers. I am getting a maxxed-out performance Model 3 to go along with my S90D! Double Tesla family! =)
I'm glad it's not more hatchback-like than it is, but it's right on the line for me. Hatchbacks are so gross, I wish they'd figure something out with the design to go back in the typical sedan direction. I have no problem with the nose and lack of grill. I hope the center console goes away. My favorite thing about the S when I sat in it today was that I could get in and drop my purse right beside me instead of throwing it by my feet. I realize most of the people involved in production are never going to think of this, but it felt like a huge deal when I got in.
Now that I think of it, though, I don't remember seeing where cup holders were in the S.

Wow, such a beautiful car!
- Autopilot standard
- Supercharging standard
Did you see the touch screen??
Sure is beautiful.
They showed the early Model X (prototype) with a pseudo floating screen somewhat like this, but in the end, they just utilized the same Model S monitor layout. The real issue with a floating screen is durability. Kids will yank on it. Sudden stops and/or you end up bang into it... and then the next thing you know, you have a really expensive monitor dangling by wires sitting on your floor.
These cars are prototypes, and things will change.

If you look at the Model X when they had prototypes, the screen looked like it was in mid-air, thats not the actual case with the finished product. My best guess is that they first REALLY focused on the exterior, then worried about interior nonsense in the short timeframe before they start producing it.
As a Mini driver, I can tell you that not having the speedo in front of you, where it belongs, is really annoying.
Ease of RHD versions was Saturn and Mini's excuse. But unless you've driven one, you have no idea how annoying it is to look over to the side to see the speedo.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.

Ok., so it doesn't blow my skirt up in the styling area, but I understand the design constraints of providing headroom for five adults, with the shorter overall length. Can they work on the blunt front nose though. Where's the model X stylized logo/slit grill?
