Wiki Model 3 Reveal Event Coverage (3/31/16) 8:30PM PST - Discussion/Pictures/Video

I wonder why the door handles on the grey car is different from the other two.

Chrome delete, the grey one didn't have any chrome.

No instruments directly in front of the driver? Just the big screen in the center?

Not sure I like that...

Maybe there is a Heads Up Display for the driver...

It's between red or silver for me. If I can talk the wife into us getting this instead of an SUV as our next vehicle.

That matte grey..... Tesla has been reading my mind......
Sadly that model looked too high end for my budget.

Here is the Chevy Bolt in the same orientation as the Tesla Model 3. Not much competition

I have audio, but no video. I've been logged in since 8:05 PM PDT. Is anyone else having this problem? I've tried everything. Different browsers, reloading in, etc. Is anyone else having this problem? any solutions?

Usually you can watch the announcement over again an hour later after the announcement. Check the website again in the future, and maybe it will work.

Periscope footage of test drives.

Combo of steel and aluminum is mentioned.

Also, RWD and dual motor.
Layered glass to absorb UV
Didn't use many Model S parts
Still a lot to be done for production

That Black one is really awesome. Tesla's just look great in black.

Let me try this again:

The original Model X alpha had a floating display. It went away in the production version. Practicality will win out over coolness factor.

I'm loving the silver Model 3.

The Toyota Yaris only has a display in the center console. I rented one a few years ago, and I did not like having to look in the middle.

I like it! I think the dash is still a mock-up and still being worked on. I hope the sunroof can open!!!! I think it's a good idea to get rid of the fake unneeded grill.

Heard them talking about it on periscope first ride and it seemed like that dash is how it will be. I agree, I hope they change the dash

Tesla Motors @TeslaMotors

Red looks better in the media pics than on stage. That black looks great. Would love a nose shot of the black.

Wish we had more detail, but glad I waited in line for the deposit.

My eyes! They are burning!

Post that pic in the Mary Barra thread. Ouch.

Here are my first impressions.
I don't care for the front end, but the side and rear look amazing.
It sounds pretty well-equipped to me.
I can't wait to see the non-mocked up interior.
I can envision Tesla selling tons of these.

Supercharging is included with every Model 3....

I can't imagine that being the actual interior. Way too plain.

I'm loving the front end in this pic

Elon wouldn't settle for a sub-par display/interior, would he? My guess is they'll show a slick HUD at Part 2 of the reveal. Gotta hold something back...

How does the rear trunk open?

 

[cman8]

looks kinda like a porsche front end

Test driver in the periscope video said the interior was pretty much final. Tesla has a history of changing the interiors in production cars from the prototypes but at this stage in the game I don't think they have a lot of time to revisit that. It might end up being pretty darn close to final.
