We want some Model 3 Leaks, renders, sketches !

Opinions?

If the Model 3 looks anything close to that, Tesla will lose my money.

Could be that design was definitely constrained by their range\drag coefficient. Still better looking than that Bolt.

Supposedly, this is the Model 3.

Opinions? I dig it.

It's just a doctored image from Model X | Tesla Motors Canada
The background is just too similar and the shadow in the rear doesn't line up. Nice try but I'll reserve judgment until the 31st.

I doubt it. why would they include the silhouette of a more traditional looking vehicle on the invitation and then unveil something so different? Elon has said many times that he doesn't want a "wierdmobile"

 

[Sp4rky]

This looks nice, but the front end is old. Maybe we'll see a refreshed design with Model X front.

Looks like a doctored image from Model X | Tesla Motors Canada

It looks like it might have been taken from the Model X design studio (in my opinion). I'm really hoping this is more Model Y than Model 3. I was looking for more of a sedan style vehicle.

Weirdmobile alert !

I can understand why they would do that (I don't think that's a real Model 3, I don't think anyone will see a real Model 3 until the 31st), but you asked for opinions, I think it doesn't look aesthetically pleasing.

Quotes from Elon have been confusing and all over the place. He said Model 3 would have a "family resemblance", then he said it "wouldn't look like other cars" then he said they don't want to be too adventurous with the first version, then the rumours about the .20 drag edict from Elon with radical aerodynamics. Look, nobody really knows that this thing looks like, it's the best-kept secret at Tesla.

My money and expectations however is on the simpler answer to everything: Model 3 sedan is going to look a lot like the Model S but with the Model X nose on it. I have a feeling they decided to play it safe for now and go with what is known ostensibly to keep it mainstream in terms of looks and keep to their late 2017 production timeline. Later on they can go a bit crazier.
We'll know soon enough in a couple of weeks. Until then I'm keeping my expectations and wild guesses in check.

Yeah, honestly I'm hoping to see a refreshed, 20% smaller Model S rolled on stage. I love that look and I really don't care about changing it that much.

It will happen eventually but not right now. Model 3 is center stage on the 31st, they won't want to detract media attention from this.

Model 3 sedan is going to look a lot like the Model S but with the Model X nose on it.

I will not have any problems with TM3 to look a lot like Model S, but please Tesla - do not let the "nose" look like either Model S or X.... Let it be a "nose" that do not look like any other car"nose"

No. Someone just stretched the windshield and tweaked the rear on a Model X.

 

[Brad_SC]

Honestly, I'm not in love with it.

Beyond that, if this is the Model 3... what is there left to do to turn it into a CUV for the Model Y?

What do we call Tesla CUVs that are more Hot Hatch than Car? "Model HH?"

 

[Steepler2k]

I wouldn't buy it.

 

[vortexz]

no worries guys ... this is NOT the model 3 !
the model 3 is the size of an a4 we already know that
this car in this photo is nowhere near the size of an A4 and it's a weridmobile
and tesla can't afford to release a bad looking mobile, read here why : Tesla Model 3 Review Speculations - All we know so far

Tineye.com shows that it's just a photoshop warped version of the MX. Try the "compare" tool, it's pretty cool.

YAY! Looking forward to a proper SEDAN.

I too hope that it is a proper sedan. Here is a quick photoshop I made based on the event invite.
