We want some Model 3 Leaks, renders, sketches !

[Model 3]

are these photos new?

To me it look just like Model S. But if the difference is so small that it seems like in the thread above, it may be hard to tell...

Redditor enhanced the blanket photo:

Wired claims that this cloaked car is the Tesla Model 3

I think i figured it out.... The car under the cloak is a........(joking)

You know they're going to show it tomorrow night, right?

Why on earth would you start spreading such rumors?

 

[plankeye]

I'd be ecstatic if they did a 5-door hatchback for the model 3 launch. But that is not a sedan, and a sedan is what we were promised.

So you consider the S a 5 door hatchback too? I believe it's classified as a sedan, isn't it?

I consider the S a sedan, not a 5-door hatchback.

 

[Model 3]

I consider the S a sedan, not a 5-door hatchback.

And I consider the S as a 5-doors liftback sedan.

The S' trunk opens up more like a 5-door, so I can see why you'd classify it that way. But the styling is that of a sedan, so that's what I call it. I prefer a hatchback over a sedan generally.

Currently, hatchback is my car; sedan is the husband's... We met on a car forum.

I love the liftback type as long as I can't choose a full-size wagon. But the normal hatchback is in my opinion a sedan that tried to be a wagon, but was to short.... I know it may be useful, but just looks a bit wrong in my eyes. But that is only my opinion

The Model S is a Sedan that is also qualified as a 'five-door liftback saloon' by some. Sure, it isn't butt-fargin'-fugly like the BMW 340i xDrive GT or Honda Crosstour or any number of Saab 900s... That's why Tesla Motors gets away with it. I expect they will do the same with Model ☰.

are these photos new? Is this the X?

Definitely not new. Certainly not the Model X. That is the Model S. The bodies used to be transported on robotic trolleys that lifted them up and moved them from station to station as they were being built. Check YouTube for the National Geographic/BBC video 'Megafactories: Tesla Model S' for details.

Hi guys,

don't know if this is something new for you.

Wired Magazine published an Image of a covered Model 3.

Sweet... here is a zoomed-in contrast blast

[Lex]

it seems to tail-off shorter than MS to me... ????

 

[Lex]

and front also looks more forward pointed... like early MS prototypes.

My money is now on M3 stealing some neat stuff from MS including early designs + some even more aggressive Mustang / Infinity G3x cut/curve styling exactly where it counts.

 

[Lex]

* or it's an MS without nosecone haha

Does look a lot like a Model S, sans nose cone.

Shame about those silly side mirrors...one day the feds will allow their removal.

That rear body line across the rear wheel well seems totally different versus the MS to me. Also, the front body line that looks like it runs along the hood line looks much more pronounced and seems to extend further down towards the front bumper.

 

[Lex]

I am sooo excited and this seems the best place to ooze it, as it is, after all, a time limited thread

 

[Lex]

Sorry for repeating stuff that others posted, I had the thread up for a bit and came back to it without refreshing
