Placid Report post Posted March 31, 2016 The iPhone crowd, I don't get it, it's just a car in an unlimited edition, so what if it comes few months later? Agree mate! I'll just order it in the comfort of my office chair, I don't get the obsession of being a sheep in a line. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

looney Report post Posted April 1, 2016 I managed to watch the live stream, they left all the tech stuff I want to know about out here are some screen cap's from the stream Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipresr Report post Posted April 1, 2016 I watched the stream right now and I am sorry but that looks like one ugly ass car! Tesla = fail esp at a 2yr wait or more like their model x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emanon Report post Posted April 1, 2016 It's not awful, but not fcuking awesome either. I hope the tech and range are amazing and they keep the cost down. It looks like a $35k car, if it ends up being $55k loaded out it better see some serious upgrades. They said this isn't the final version, so there is room for improvement.

Jagata Report post Posted April 1, 2016 I watched the stream right now and I am sorry but that looks like one ugly ass car! Tesla = fail esp at a 2yr wait or more like their model x Yeah I don't know, I'm on the fence. Hope it looks better in person, the model X looked horrible to me until I saw in on the roads then grew on me; hope this does the same. But hey the price is right especially with govt rebates.

Fortis Report post Posted April 1, 2016 Hey now, it's 5-10C here and what we call "spring" Honestly it's impossible for me to describe how much I dislike cold weather. I have a lot of respect for people who live in cold climates, much respect! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emanon Report post Posted April 1, 2016 Looks like they sold about 115k of them today.... Got an interest free cash infusion of $115m, and at the lowest build cost, racked up over $4B worth of sales.

capt_chaos Report post Posted April 1, 2016 I think it looks good and much better than the Leaf* which it is going up against. I like Tesla, FikseSTS videos have shown they are producing good and innovative features. I like what they are doing but the hype is very much like Apple. Like the iphone/ipad there are some great simple features but not all that when you look under the bonnet. If they cannot succeed then I cannot see anyone else really delivering fully electric cars. For me, the tests will be Actual mileage: General rule of thumb with Electric only cars is take the claimed range and take a third off because there are too many variables in the real world to compare with sterile lab conditions. Actual deliveries: How many people will actually take delivery of their car? Actual Business success: will this car actually deliver the hype around Tesla? Sure stock will be up today but next few months will give us an idea on the long term success. I know here in the UK these cars are eligible for £4500 grant and no road tax which has come down from 5k. I know that the States has a limited run incentive on electric cars to get people into these cars so what happens to sales when that carrot has been eaten? *Odd name to call a car, the only time a leaf really moves is when it dies and falls off a twig.

MrDoctor Report post Posted April 1, 2016 The model 3 is sick. The design I'm not a huge fan of. But for what you get for $35k is beyond amazing. It sounds too good to be true. I'm just waiting for a price hike annoincement lol . That glass roof to create an open concept car. Love it. Best safety. Best cargo space. Standard autopilot. Hopefully they can make enough of these to go around. Seriously ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Placid Report post Posted April 1, 2016 Standard autopilot.I think people misinterpret this, the autopilot hardware is standard, along with all the safety features (auto break, lane-departure warning, sign recognition etc). Auto steer, traffic aware cruise control, auto park, auto lane change etc will be extra (and can be activated after purchase). I really hope the dashboard is under development though, looked really plain and unfinished now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
