Model 3 Mule Sightings

To me, tasteful carbon fiber is exposed structural carbon fiber--it has purpose. Decorative carbon fiber is way too boy racer. Matte woods can be a great way to blend organic and inorganic surfaces and lighten spaces while adding visual interest through natural texture and pattern.

Nicely put.

I also hate fake plastic trees...( inside of homes ) lol

Rear wiper would be nice for practicality. But only if rear camera has no washer/dryer function, like some other vehicles.
If there is no camera cleaning mechanism nor rear wiper, that is a problem. Rear parking sensors slightly alleviate the pain.

Personally, I don't like rear wiper on sedan due to looks. I would rather take camera washer/blower/scraper.

Wait a minute....just hold on a second.

Is the Model 3 Tesla's first Sedan? One hatchback ( Model S ) and one SUV ( Model X ). I thought everything was to be tried out in one of their current models first. Tesla is breaking the rules. lol

I am not worried about the thin vents of the Model 3 or I-Pace... yet. We shall see how they operate in practice. Visually they look appealing.

Come to think of it, in the otherwise scandinavian-simple Model S/X interior, the vents are still quite prominent and traditionally "automotive" fixtures.

Agree with the vents. I like how they look, but the main issue will be performance. I actually like directing vents to blow air into my face, especially when it's hot. If the vents can't do that, then that might actually be a deal breaker for me. I can't wait until test drives are available.

You would cancel your order for the most ground breaking car since probably the Ford Model T because the vents don't blow in your face? After the interior temperature of the car comes down or up to a level you are comfortable with you won't even notice. To each his own I guess...

I've been waiting for the "You won't care." comment.

If course you would probably want to install yours on the drivers side.

I'm always ready to give suggestions:

Of course....since you would be in a car full of batteries...you won't need that stupid generator.

Who in the world would mount a generator to their trunk. That makes absolutely no sense.

Remote control of temperature will have it whatever temperature you want before jumping in.

Hmmmmm. That would be much simpler than my suggestions. @RubberToe for president.

Oh yeah thanks for reminding me. You won't care. When you are riding in a Taxi do you care if the vents are blowing on you?

the rear camera isn't at the glass, but down by the license plate

Ways to stop a mule....

1. " Hey, you just hit my dog!! "
2. " Your bumper just fell off! "
3. " Love your Bimmer!! "

And by the way, that 'center display' is just an iPad which is mounted on the optional iPad mount. (Ipad is supplied by you).

at least it

Well, it may not have much, but it at least has wipers.

I don't think its going to be high tech at all. To me....its going to be by far the simplest EV you have ever seen. I know you've seen the interior many times.

I think Wood adds a sense of naturalism to being engulfed in plastic. One of the things I hate the most is to see plastic molded with fake stitching of leather. That's just phony to me. Cheaper is not always better in my opinion.

The Lucid interior w/wood is simply astounding. I'm only posting this as the Lucid Air isn't the competition of the Model 3.

Interior looks good but exterior not so much.

Yep, my point exactly. The wood is beautiful.

I wouldn't get your hopes up, Elon said minimal options. That is the only way to meet a $35K price point and also meet production goals.

Did you know a Yugo managed to have a Instrument Cluster AND radio for under $4,000
