Hey everyone, first post. While we eagerly await the arrival of the Model 3 I put some numbers together based on current options with some minor price adjustments. Obviously speculation is pretty worthless but here goes:
I'm hesitant to give the lower kWh packs the range I did, but there should be some density improvements by 2017/18, plus there is the stated hard target of 200 real world miles.
I also am guessing that some options on Model S will not be available purely for differentiation, such as air suspension. May be others as well.
Fully expect Autopilot features to be available across the board to maximize fleet learning/mapping.
Hoping for a smaller Model S in overall shape/stance, although aesthetics will be a distant relative. I don't think Tesla needs a funky shape a la Prius to sell cars. Otherwise I would opt for a CPO Model S in a couple years.
No crazy doors, seats or pop-out door handles. I think we can agree that simplicity is key for higher production volume.
Weight reduction will be moderate. Lighter packs and vehicle size, but use of steel over aluminum will offset a lot of overall weight loss.
Cost at bottom is the fully loaded spec.
Variations of range and 0-60 between packs based on current Models S deltas. No Ludicrous.
Just guesses to spark discussion, don't crucify me.
