I've read comments that the refresh model 3 looks like a frog.
I think someone said that ages ago.
I googled "tesla model 3 frog".
Literally first result:
Model 3 Looks Like a Frog From the Front, and a Mini X from the Back
Oh it was me.

@ZeApelido, I'll raise you your

I always thought the front looked a bit alienating.
The slimline headlights & continuous front bumper line is a welcome improvement,
makes for a more aggressive, masculine look.
But this is the investment thread, so here goes:
In October 2012, I could have bought a
Model S for $49,000 Canadian (That is $36,748 USD today). Yes, it was the 40kWh version good for 140 miles (225 kms), (could unlock another 50% of battery pack via paid OTA update), however it was pure gold and to this day I regret going down for the long sleep and waiting for the more economical Model 3, purchased in June 2018 (for $67,000 CAD, ugh.). Looking at Tesla's web site just now, even after price reductions, the
Model S starts at $116,990 CAD. Sure it has 100kWh battery, all wheel drive, faster, more bells and whistles, but the original Model S would have suited me fine and still looks absolutely gorgeous, yes, more gorgeous than the Model 3.
So, what have I learned:
Country exchange rates have real impact. My great deal that I passed on in 2012 was when the CAD was worth 10% more than the USD, not 30% less. As the USD loses some of its recent shine, this is a positive for Tesla or any company that exports products outside of US.
Model 3 and Y are likely to fetch higher pricing in the future once the Model 2 (Next Gen) comes out. These recent price cuts are only temporary.
The Model 2 (Next Generation) will not simply be a rehash of the Model 3 or Y, simply making the car smaller from its predecessor. This (image below) is not a 10 million/annum production car.
It will more likely be a radical design, new processes and manufacturing with new technology suitable for mass production of an enormous scale. Something like....
This will still fetch a premium as it will be the quickest, safest, most technologically advanced and efficient car of its classification by a wide margin.
Which is why Tesla is taking the time to get Cybertruck right, first out of the gate. They can use the methodology, similar to or perhaps again completely out of the box thinking like with the Cybertruck that was alien to us....er, ah, oh, to create a true global car for the masses. Only Tesla.
