The Toyota Camry was the best selling car last year and they sold 388,616. Do you really think the M3 is going to outsell the Camry?
That's US sales only. Tesla sells only about half of its cars in the US.

huh... Your facts are a little funny. You are mixing up Corolla and Camry plus you are citing US Camry sales, not global.

I think that's totally unrealistic.
The shoulder room is really only an issue if you are trying to put 3 people in the backseat.Misleading. Actually get into it. There's a lot of headroom, but a lot less shoulder room. There's a lot of volume counted in the Bolt that isn't really usable.
Very accurate. I regularly get 250+ mi rated, 300+ max, 200+ minI haven't read through the Bolt thread. How accurate is the 238 mile range on the car?
You can think whatever you want... the preorder numbers speak for themselves.
In June, to be in top 15, you had to sell more than 22k. About 250k per year. In the US. Possible for Model 3.I don't think that changes the point I was making. If you believe Musk's prediction then you believe that the M3 will be one of the top 15 selling cars in the US, outselling most ICE models. I think that's totally unrealistic
GM said they are planning 30K a year in sales, but are capable of producing as many as people want. That IS a drop in the bucket compared to many ICE cars, but if that's the metric then there are no mass produced electric cars today. Just because Elan Musk says he plans on selling 20X that doesn't mean he will. The Toyota Camry was the best selling car last year and they sold 388,616. Do you really think the M3 is going to outsell the Camry?
I hope the Model 3 is great and it sells really well. But one thing I've learned is Elan Musk likes to make big promises that he can't deliver on. So I wouldn't be shocked if sales are nowhere near his projections. That being said, if he sells 100K Model 3s per year it will still be a huge success.
So what you're actually saying is : "It feels bigger once you're inside"...... (sorry had to do it !)Misleading. Actually get into it. There's a lot of headroom, but a lot less shoulder room. There's a lot of volume counted in the Bolt that isn't really usable.
I read that as "Tinny" and had a good laugh.The bolt is TINY !!! so Meh.
I have a single stupid excuse: need roof rack to carry 12 ft paddle board, so I already bought one.I personally think that the original idea that Elon had was to release the base model with 55kWh and he could meet his 215 mile minimum with some necessary wiggle room. Then the Bolt was released with 60kWh and achieved 238 mi EPA range. I think that forced Elon to reconsider his initial decision and he bumped the base model to 60 kWh. Then with the aero wheels as gravy, I think the base model will now just beat the Bolt and achieve bragging rights. I think it is important for Tesla to not leave anything on the table and letting a Chevy have a better "spec" such as EPA range isn't an option for such a game-changing technologically advanced EV leader such as Tesla. If the base model Model 3 beats the Chevy, then you don't even have a single stupid excuse to buy it over the Model 3. For the record, with the lower Cd, frontal area and supercharger network, the comparison is actually quite silly. But, many uninformed people make silly comparisons every day.
That may be so but is it tinny?
since the $35K Tesla will be like unicorn tears....
Do you really think the M3 is going to outsell the Camry?

No, but it is aluminiumly with a steely safety cage and a lithium-stuffed subfloor.That may be so but is it tinny?
