Musk: I really want the Model III to be different, not just a smaller Model S (video)

The model 3 will not be weird it will look like this...

Something you would all want to drive and give waves to people on the street in.
Everyone will be jealous. Can't wait to get one.
Cool !!! That looks like something Martians would come in LOL :scared:
That must be either French or Japanese. They're the only ones that would build something that weird. Or Rinspeed.
Great assessment. I would expect the Model 3 to be the electric 3 series fighter everyone would want.
A stripped down 320i equivalent (electric motor, good driving dynamics), minimal amenities (you pretty much covered it). Some kind of 328i type level with a lot more bells and whistles (heated seats, maybe a better touch screen, other things).
There are two questions for me. How much markup will the "auto pilot" be, and how soon will other auto makers catch up with what Tesla is doing?

1208: That is a perfect example of why my allegiance to Honda has dwindled over the last two decades. The original Fantasticar looked better... And it was just a flying bathtub.
There really is a fine intersection between different/compelling/mass market. Like one of those Venn diagrams with a very small centre section.
The web is full of concept-car flights-of-fancy like this:-
Fine for the Tron-obsessive in your life...

I would bet on Tesla not building a factory in any state which prohibits Tesla from selling cars. I would expect Tesla to require that those prohibitions be repealed *first*. And frankly Texas is especially unlikely to repeal it, given Texas politics.
I would therefore bet on one of the states which already allows Tesla to sell cars.

Ironically enough, according to the map, they can sell in Mississippi. There's actually a fairly substantial automotive manufacturing base there with Nissan and Toyota.

Yeah. Mississippi is good for multiple reasons...
• Low population, with lower income, so fewer potential buyers to worry about.
• Plentiful, rather cheap land
• Temperate climate, as long as you avoid flood plains and tornado alleys
• Nice center of distribution to points East and North by road, rail, or barge, as well as port access at the Gulf Coast for international shipping
I grew up there. Hated it. But I appreciate it much more as an adult.
