All other automakers BTFO.
No longer do we need to settle for car tech lagging behind computer tech by a decade.
No longer do we have to deal with outdated engineering.
THANK YOU BASED ELON MUSK.

If they really deliver $35k and on time the industry really will be BTFO. Somewhat more expensive than a Bolt, and somewhat later, but also massively nicer looking and with massively better stats all around.

Tesla chief designer, drew the current style language for Mazda.
It literally uses 18650s, with like 2100 mah each. My math could be wrong though.
A large square battery would save a shitload of space vs fitting 1000s of cylinders in a square space.
>>14759953
Shut your fucking mouth. Elon invented the electric car, nobody knows them better than him.
If he is using cylinders it is because IT IS THE BEST WAY to build a battery.

Yes. And it would charge faster, have more capacity, be lighter, and better discharge rates, and improve the car dramatically. Instead we get a giant iPad and a glass roof.

Just a reminder to NEVER buy a new Tesla or GM car.
GM was bailed out by government money with stimulus package 2.
Tesla received funding from the government. Elon Musk was already rich but guess what, the government gave him free money and made him richer.
Neither should be supported.

almost every car is an anti-driver's car. the honda civic outsells the mazda miata 100 to 1. the model s was the car for yuppies. the model 3 is a car for everyone.
>>14759819
Oh holy fuck, and i thought the tesla was ugly.

>>14760522
No, something like the Suzuki Alto is a car for everyone. The model 3 is like that lesser but very expensive iphone.
>>14760509
That would be really neat, are they introducing that in Tesla 3?
>>14760528
my point was 99% of drivers don't give a shit about having a drivers car. if tesla could sell a cheaper car and make more profit then they would do it. I don't know the economics of the electric car industry or their strategy going forward but I imagine their goal is to make even cheaper cars in the future.

But there exist cars like the Suzuki Alto. This is a bargain basement car that can be yours, new, for £6 grand. It has nothing inside, it isn't trying to be anything but a simple commuter car, it just gets you from a to b and will never go wrong. That is a peoples car. Not some ipad on wheels.
>>14760540
It's also an unsafe heap of horrible to drive shit that is only so cheap because it's designed to appeal to the 3rd world.
Once lithium-sulfur batteries become mainstream, lithium-ion will be worth nothing and that's when cheap shitboxes like the alto will become electric.
>>14760540
god damnit. I am not talking about the price. I'm talking about the target market. Tesla wants to make profit. They don't give a shit who buys the model 3. The model s was the one that a yuppie would buy to impress his friends. The model 3 is just them trying to make money.
>>14760548
The model 3 is the one that sells to up and coming 20/30 something aspiring yuppies.
>>14760160
Yeah, it's better to give all money to GM and Chrysler like we did on 2008.
>>14760562
it sells to anyone who wants an electric car. The model 3 is not a conspiracy to ruin the fun of people who like stick shift cars with loud exhausts. It is a conspiracy to sell cars to people who don't give a shit about driver's cars which is almost everyone.

It has a 0-60 time in under 6 seconds, which is much faster than any other EV (and most non-EVs) it is competing with.

It's priced well, considering it's competing with other EVs like the Chevrolet Bolt.

>Range Anxiety
It's compatible with Tesla Supercharger stations. The Model S gains 170 miles of range after 30 minutes of charging. The Model 3 will likely be similar.
>Range limitations for use as a non commuter.
Tesla Supercharger stations are located along many major highways in the US, spaced closely enough to provide charge for driving across the entire country.

>Expensive to maintain and run
Electricity costs less than gasoline. Maintenance costs are not yet known.

I don't know enough about that subject to comment on it.

I agree. It would have benefited from a hatch like the Chevrolet Volt.

The Model S has steering wheel mounted controls for adjusting the climate control and radio. The Model 3 may have some type of convenience features like these as well.

>>14760624

Will Tesla be doing all this? Because there is no business model for a charging station that provides free energy.
>>14760658
Elon already said they will be doubling supercharger stations by next year.
There is a business model. No one else is rolling out true (100kw+) fast charging. Being the only people to do it, and then offering it for free, makes Tesla the only practical choice for cars that aren't pure commuters (which even the Bolt will be)

>>14760665
>access to superchargers is a $2k option on the S
>I'm sure it'll be free for me
>>14760665
No I mean there is no business model for independent charging stations if the expectation is that the charge will always be free.
Hoping on Telsa providing the entire infrastructure is like a propitiatory plug in an iphone. You get dicked into a monopoly.
>>14760672
Literally one model and it didn't even stick. Elon already confirmed supercharging as standard on the 3.
>>14760673
>No I mean there is no business model for independent charging stations if the expectation is that the charge will always be free.
There is for the rest of the electric cars on the road that cannot into supercharging.
I mean, this isn't even an academic debate. There's already a network of independent charging stations in Europe, and one building in America. It's just that they're built for shit (generally sub-30kwh) cars, so they don't have to be powerful.
>>14760636
Planning your trip around the rest stops and breaks is the best way to do it anyway.
>>14760689
>There is for the rest of the electric cars on the road that cannot into supercharging.
There isn't. In the UK there is like 3 bays at any service station that are always empty because it has been put in as a pc meme. If you were to replace the infrastructure for mostly evs it was cost the driver a fuck tonne.
>>14760691
>implying the superchargers are at rest stops
>>14760694
>>14760694
The memes are clouding your ability to make a coherent point. You're talking about Tesla having a monopoly by charging their own cars for free, and then you admit that the already existing charging infrastructure for the rest of the electric cars out there is underutilized (protip: it's because they charge at home almost if not exclusively and no one does more than commute with EVs that aren't Teslas because it's a stupid idea). Nothing really relates to the next point.
>>14760699

Pic related is how you do large touchscreens in cars without going full retard.
Besides, Diesel hybrids are way, way better than fully electric cars. They still have good performance, cost little even when electricity runs out, and you can drive 2000km with one tank.

That's precisely the point. If your car takes 30 minutes to charge in specific stations that are still far and few, then you have reasons to be worried about your range.
>>14761013
You shouldn't be playing with a tablet when you're driving...
>>14761023

It might not be an iPad, but it will probably sell for a lot considering the cars will probably be entirely dependant on it. The aftermarket demand will be absurd.

>>14761065
What part of the car will go into auto-pilot don't you seem to understand. You go into auto-pilot, then you can set what the fuck ever you want, and when you are done you grab the steering wheel and the car goes back to manual drive.
If id live in usa id get it asap.
You people have a billion tesla charging station. Here in eu we got almost none. Absolutely not worth unless you live next to one. I guess germany has a few here and there
>>14760899
Considering the people who like Tesla and work for them, they probably have not because they have never gone over 60mph, but at this point they are uncapable of using anything that doesn't have a touchscreen.
>>14761075
I don't want it to, what part of that do you not understand? What currently is a 2 second thing using my hands without taking my eyes off the road and a simple switch now requires an auto pilot (lol have you seen British B roads) and a huge array of sensors.
>this is progress

It requires the auto-pilot because the menu works similarly to an iPhone. Basically you need to go through a few menu to access some basic functions. This helps with the minimalism and overall driving experience.

>>14761110
You're wrong, everything is all in one place the tablet. This alone makes it much easier to drive especially for people who has never drove your car before. It's designed to be user friendly. What's so hard about clicking lights then clicking which settings the confirm, that like 3-4 button pressed. Compared to what it was before where people need to fumble with the light switch or looking for it and accidentally activating the wippers.
>>14761116
What is not user friendly about switches?
>>14761097
This sounds fucking horrible.
Although this is coming from someone who quit photography when he "upgraded" from a 1960s Topcon which had a beautifully simple manual interface to some shitty canon DSLR with all this annoying going through menus for basic functions and a ton of annoying automated bullshit.
>>14761116
You do know that mandatory functions are indicated by specific icons on your das hand on your switches, right? (or is it just a yuronorm? I dunno)
All it takes is one minute looking at your steering wheel to see what is where and if you are too dumb to do that, chances are people will not let you borrow their cars in the first place.
also
>implying it is not equally uninstinctive to navigate through menus to find how to turn on your wippers
I can adjust the temp on my heater with a quick glance and a gesture. Same with radio. Lights without looking. Cruise without looking.
Menus on a touch screen, while staying at center console. Stupid ergonomic /safety issue. All for "style" and "design purity". This is the same stupid shit achitects do. As en engineer he should know better, but he drank his own Kool Aid.

Everything is automatic including the driving.

-lights will turn on when it's dark
Everything is fucking automatic, the sliders are just for your personal settings. And Tesla don't want you to get into an accident when you're on the highway and you decided you don't want your internal lights to be a certain color or if you want to change the background picture...

The menu can be useful for a bunch of things but all cars are having this problem now. I don't want to go through a fucking menu for my a/c settings or music

Just take the train or the bus if you can't be bothered to learn how to drive and think flicking a switch is complicated.

I'd prefer a guage in front of the driver, maybe at least a speedometer and maybe a "power usage" guage like the one on the plug-in hybrid camry. I'm fine with center guages but not ones like this bullshit

Just goes to prove how disattached from reality all the silicon valley devs are. in the real world, self-driving vehicles goes apeshit because no one drives correctly, you can't recharge your car's batteries in your garage because you don't have a garage, you don't buy a car with parts you can't change yourself because you can't afford to have your wipers fixed at a shop, you can't have an ipad sticking out of your dash because it's the best way to find your car with a broken window and the thing pulled out and your car now impossible to drive.

REMINDER : Get a Gen II Prius, get a huge plug in conversion, and get 50 miles on EV only, or 200 miles in blended mode (85MPG), with zero range anxiety as you have an internal combustion engine to switch back to when the battery is empty, that still gets 50 MPG.

The solution is simple.
Ban manual driving.
If every car is self-driving, no one will drive like a retard anymore.

driving on the streets is boring to dead, what kind of cuck finds bumper to bumper traffic fun?
>>14761840
too expensive to manufacture, actually.
this is why a HUD would work well, cheaper than having some fancy LCD instrument cluster
the main LCD can stay because it's basically just a regular old LG touch screen monitor
so is this fwd or rwd?
>>14761981
rwd standard
awd optional with dual motors
>>14761984

the traction control will probably be really aggressive like it is on the S though.

Keep the brake pedal pressed, like in the video games. Right pedal forward, left pedal brake/reverse.

i'd rather pay over 100k for the model that doesnt look like shit

You said pretty much exactly the same thing in another thread. Stop shilling for your 40 grand dildo.

Autonomous cars can't handle faded lane markers, they're not even close to ready. Stay delusional.

No thanks senpai. 30 minutes is definitely quick charging per current battery standards, but they need 5 minute charging + superchargers literally everywhere for me to want one.
