Make sure you flag this video for fake !

Fake, clearly a picture on the video.

Well done though, but it is visible.

Next.

Is this video real or fake?

Is this video real or fake?

Clearly completely fake....

 

[K-MTG]

Yea I thought so as I didn't see anyone on the reflection of the hood.

I didn't watch the video. But, Model3 certainly will not have the MS nosecone

Not only is it an obvious fake, I wouldn't want (and don't expect) the interior to look like that, there's no way the current Model S front end will be used, and I'm sure Tesla has some brilliant way to keep the door handles flush.

But a pretty well done fake.

fake for sure
apart from the fact it doesn't change position, the tires are different profiles, the wheels are different, the door handles are standard, the color is different front to back.
Basically its a model S nose photoshopped onto a Mazda 3

Yup! That was my first reaction too. Angry Owl!

Nice video editing, but fake.

 

[Subrock]

Any video with the car sitting outside and made by "Viral Video Lab" can't be real.

That looks awesome. Though when I stare at it for a while, it looks a bit like a squashed chimp for Planet of the Apes.

What's the purpose of the air intakes on the ends of the bumper? Battery cooling? Otherwise I'd think they cut down on aerodynamics.

The Model S and X have radiator vents in the front mostly for cooling the batteries, which can get quite hot.

Yeah, the 20% smaller was essentially an off-hand remark (something like "We want to make it smaller than the S... maybe about 20% smaller or something"). And that number can mean volume or dimensions - note if the Model 3 was 20% smaller in each dimension it would be 0.8^3 = 51% of the volume, which would make it a small car.

I think it was a clear design goal from the start. The original aim was to make an electric car that was essentially a competitor to the BMW 3 Series which is almost exactly 20% smaller than the Model S. That size is very popular and is classified as a compact sedan. I would think aiming for a midsized sedan would be better as there are more midsized sedans sold in the US than compact sedans, but for BMW the 3 Series is their best seller.

I was in a parking lot when I saw this. I look across and see a red Mazda 3 hatchback and can confirm the sideview mirrors and back are the same, just a photo shopped nose as mentioned by others.

The Tesla car faces do remind me of the angry birds app images sometimes.

You realize, of course, that Elon absolutely despises those sharkfin antennae, right?
