with or without the griller? j/k
I like the grille better than the funny nose cone on my MS. It's a design element, I don't get the rabid oppositions to grilles.
Grilles that do something and are needed are fine. I dislike grilles when they're applied to a car that has no need for grilles (or ICE-sized grilles) just for the sake of looking "familiar." Kind of like hanging coconuts from the back of your Model T to make the clip clop clip of horses.I like the grille better than the funny nose cone on my MS.

In airplanes, cooling drag losses through the engine compartment are huge, and so careful shaping and sizing of air inlets is essential for max performance. Much less of a deal at car speeds, but still, why heap drag onto a slick design just because Detroit (and even worse, Toyota) use them for fashion, not function?

I will cancel if my signature is not true.
Waiting for an EV with Tesla's technology and torque - checkI will cancel if my signature is not true.
Waiting for an EV with Tesla's technology and torque - check
with Mercedes's interior and features - features maybe, interior nope
with much faster charging (< 10 minutes) - highly doubtful any time soon
Hopefully your reservation is ahead of mine so I can move up a spot when you cancel.
Maybe #8 won't be a problem if the software and gov't regs go the right way!I would cancel my reservation if:
- Elon leaves Tesla.
- Over 10% of earlier ordered 3s start spontaneously combusting.
- End of days is coming within a year.
- All EVs are banded by the government.
- My wife suddenly files for divorce and takes all my money.
- Google comes out with an EV with full autonomy, 300+ mile range, for under $30K.
- I come into big $$$ and order a Model X.
- Go blind and no longer able to drive.
- Just remembered that the reservation is for my wife, so if she suddenly files for divorce then f her and her reservation!
- EMP bomb goes off and it'll take years for my house to get power back on.
I'm pretty sure I'm cancelling mine because of how the interior looks. I was hoping the "iPad on a stick" was just a concept, but with that actually being how it looks and not truly integrated into the dash, I'll be cancelling. For that cheap look I'll literally mount an iPad on a stick in my current car and save 35K.
I'm perfectly fine with the minimalist interior, but the hovering screen bothers me, a lot. I'm also, very skeptical of the single screen for all data output/input.
The way I see it, if you don't get autonomy driving you get half a car, if the screen freezes/breaks/gets stolen (this is probably going to happen to some unlucky few) you are driving without speedometer, radio controls, AP controls, and just about every other control that isn't a steering wheel or the pedal. I honestly don't think having a single screen controlling almost all aspects of the car functionality is a good ide; let's not forget that the S had problems with the screen freezing, you won't want that happening to you in a 3 while using AP on the freeway, personally I won't feel safe.
