Model 3 Trunk with Rear Seats Folded Down

[electracity]

Wait, if the glass roof prevented a hatchback, why can the car have a hatchback if you get the metal roof?

Because people pay up to $140K for the model S. Learn to love the trunk.

Based on the following photo of alpha prototype (from MotoTrend photo session) there are three panes of glass: windshield, top section right above first row, and long section covering second part of the roof above second row and continuing as a rear view window:

So the metal roof is possibly means just the second part only. I.e. the long part of glass on the back will be the same for all-glass roof and metal roof configuration. Hence no hatchback for metal roof option.

It's just my guess however. I don't remember any pictures of RCs with metal roof

You are correct, the front and rear glass doesn't change so it can only be the middle one.

Here's a discussion about it:

Does anyone know the width of the lower floor that extends to the interior ? Not the maximum at the wheel well or step, but the actual smaller width at the lowest point.

Thanks so much for sharing the photos. WOW. The trunk space is much better than I thought it would be.

What does that translate to in terms of wH per mile?

With my Model 3 I have 1200 miles at 249 wh/mi. My S over the last 80k miles is 304 wh/mi.

I'm very excited that I was able to fit not one but 2 camp footlockers in the Model 3 trunk without folding down the seats! This was quite difficult in the Model S when I took our kids to camp last summer, I'm pleasantly surprised they fit in the 3. The footlockers (C&N brand) measure 32x18.5x13.5. Full disclosure, it is a very tight fit, right up against the seat backs and contacts the trunk lid liner when closed (but lid shuts securely.

are you saying the trunk of the model 3 is wider than the S' one?

No, I think they're pretty close width-wise. The problem with the S was actually the rear lift gate glass. When I tried to get the 2 trunks in there lengthwise (like in the picture) with the 2nd row seats occupied, the lift gate wouldn't close (glass of the hatch would contact the corner of the trunks). I ended up getting them in the S with one down in the footwell at an odd angle.

I'm disappointed the 3 is not a hatchback with fold down rear seats. The 3 is only 4 inches shorter than my Camry, but the 3's trunk is difficult looking to load compared to the Camry. Guess I'll wait for the Model Y.
