Follow me Tesla, your original design was shit!
>slightly bigger windows
>open grille
NO
WE CAN'T HAVE THAT
THINK OF THE CHILDREN
>>14774468
Well, tweet Musk. He's openly taking suggestions for design tweaks on the Model 3.
>>14774473
>slightly bigger windows
Are you blind? He's lowered the roofline and made the screen faster.
This is literally what /o/ bitches about.
that looks worse
this is why you faggots dont work in design
>>14774528
He also dramatically altered the wheelbase which will never fly.
What did you do? It's just a fusion now.
>>14774548

Fucking plebs
>>14774468
>>14774468
No, get rid of the pseudo-grill brick wall altogether and don't fuck with the roofline.
>>14774468
It looks less like a Mazda. Good work.
![focus-st_3[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/DxoCkXo.jpg "focus-st_3[1].jpg")
>>14774468
Looks like a Focus now.
Literally a focus
>>14774468
>Open grille
There is nothing inside there that needs that much cooling. All it will do is add drag, which will reduce range.
Front looks like a fuckin ayy lmao with that edit.
>>14774767
This.
So much this.
>>14774767
It's supposed to be like this dude.
>>14774468
The headlights definitely did not need to be any bigger than they were originally.
>>14774468
It looks gay as shit after your edit. Its like you used a bicycle pump on a fish.
>>14774516
I dont get why people hate this company, they are one of the greatest.
They actually care about their customers
its already been fixed
>>14774468
that's literally a ford now
>>14774468
The Model 3 that was revealed was never intended to be the final design.
Exterior and interior.
>>14775796
Yeah, I've come to like Tesla over time. Granted Musk is still running a fucking sweatshop dictatorship with his engineers, but they make a good product and they're open for improvement.
>>14774468
The only thing that really needs to be fixed is the giant touchscreen mounted in the center of the dash.
>>14776338
Why would you want that look? When you have the opportunity to do something different you might as well.
in this case, have a smooth nose with no intakes.
>>14776388
Why doesnt the tesla have a wing spoiler?
>>14774516
1,000x better
>>14778333
Disagree. It's only 999x better.

physical aerodynamic devices are so 20th century.
you can use two strips of copper, some teflon tape, and a small current to do the same. see picture.
>>14776199
best one
>>14776199
and here it is from an angle

more and more by the second. $20 says it doesnt pass pedestrian safety though because muh knee-height-point

what is aerodynamic or drag-coefficient, Bob?
>>14778404
>pedestrian safety
oh no! i'm being hit by 2000 kilos of metal moving 40km/h. the shape of this plastic nose filled with styrofoam will really matter.
>>14774468
kek at all of the pre order fags who think the Model 3 shown will cost 35k or less.
>More like 50k
>>14778441
There will be a base trim model with over 200 miles that is 35k before tax credits.
Then you can purchase software unlocks for the autopilot and supercharging.
>>14778451
tax incentives only applied to the first 200K, or at least as for right now. they're already approaching near the 300K mark.
>>14778451
supercharging is standard and "autopilot hardware and basic safety features" are standard.
basically
>automatic braking and blind spot monitoring, free
>autonomous driving stuff, some extra cost, probably like 1 or 2 grand
>>14778466
technically the full 7500 only applies for however many of the model 3 it takes to bring tesla's total cars sold to date up to 200k. right now they're at around 100k.
by the end of 2017 they might be 150 or 175k so barely anyone on the list gets the full incentive
>>14774516
Based Musk... He's the Steve Jobs that we deserve.
>>14774468
Why not twingo swap?
>>14781361
MUCH better
>>14774468
Just threw up a little. Plz stop, you don't know what you're doing.
>>14776352
That's the stress of this high risk game. Once they are an established and profitable company with a large range of affordable products and multiple generations, that will obviously change.
>>14776359
The interior is a prototype. They are going to reveal the real deal later. Some people are thinking there is going to be a HUD on the windshield itself, like some iron man shit. I fuggin hope that's the case.
>>14778365
Implying you understand electrical engineering or even basic fluid dy. for that to work it need to be in a pressurized noble gas environment to produce your plasma airfoil.

>>14781976
For you
>>14774674
Shit the focus looks so much nicer
>>14778446
Underrated psst
>>14776199
This is what I assumed would happen when I first saw it, that they'd give it the Model X "grill" where the point is.
I think they did it without a grill to see how people would react. After all, it's pointless on an election car.
That is what looks best to me. Shitty shop job, but in my head it looks good.
>>14774516
desu, I also ataully like this as well.
They were going with creating a grill shape with the lighting in the original, but obviously it doesn't really work. But that sleek look is nice.
>>14774516
This is what it should look like
this is superior
ftfy

Too long for the segment.

they're not making a 15 foot long land yacht you fucking retards. It's a subcompact.
Stop stretching and smooshing it, you dumb piece of shits.

the more i look at this one in particular, the more i like it
>>14783116
holy shit
Dreams of owning an Aston Martin = shattered
>>14774468
I think the Before design is better. A faux grille isn't needed and the larger front end looks less aerodynamic.
>>14783116
>ford turns its cars into Aston Martin ripoffs
>Aston Martin returns the favor and makes their car look like a Fusion
we've come full circle
>>14783945
NHTSA pls go
>>14783945
then why does it have a nose like a grille should be there? either have one or not. dont do both
>>14783945
The front end is the same size though, and it just looks like they shaped the front for a grille but never actually put one in on the official design.
>>14778451
>Then you can purchase software unlocks for the autopilot and supercharging.
wow people are gonna be hacking their own cars now
>>14783954
Modern car regulations, but it also doesn't look half bad. Once Tesla gets big enough we can get lower front ends and remove the side mirrors.
For now I think that shape is probably the most aerodynamic they can do channel air to the sides or over the car. Going for a front end that channels air aerodynamically though it supercar style would be much too expensive for the baby Tesla. Probably see that on the next-gen roadster.
>>14783985
if they need it for regs, then give it a faux grille like the S has. it at least makes it look right. then if and when regulations loosen we can get a real front end.
>>14783954
will probably look okay with a plate on
>>14784005
That would cost more, and its unnecessary. I like the front end as it is.
My only problem with the car is the fact its not a hatchback. Which is also likely bowing to the needs of aerodynamics that all glass roof is probably really slick.
>>14774516
Still could be tweaked here and there, but ill definitelly buy that
>>14783976
>>14775796
Because
>muh 4chan liberal hipster hate
Every bit of hate is entirely because of the smug loudmouth minority in their fanbase. Not even their owners, their fanbase. The people who actually OWN a Tesla are the kind of people who would drive a upper-model BMW or that Maserati 4-door.
>>14783985
This shit isn't fucking true. If it were, the Porsche Cayman wouldn't be sold in America.
NHTSA crash regulations are not a meme.
>>14784077
Basically this, I actually really like Tesla's products, but the fanbase is so fucking cancerous I'm probably never going to buy one.
>>14784077
most people ive seen who own a Model S seem pretty chill dudes.
>>14784090
Does the Cayman have a 5 star crash rating, and if it does how expensive are the materials for that front end?
Keep in mind that this is the cheap Tesla and it seems like they're cutting the corners in unexpected places so they can keep the internals intact.
>>14784076
i kek'd
>>14784113
Exactly. It's their retarded cheerleaders that are entirely the problem.

I thought American cars can't sell in Japan? Also since when did these Japs become so rich that they can afford $35k cars?
>>14785560
Gasoline is $7.00 a gallon in Japan.
rail transit is also so good. that you don't need to drive far.
since the expressways are all privately run. They have excellent rest stops. Which have public fast charging. will be able to add Tesla superchargers with no problem.

>>14783770
it has no excuse for looking like a turtle,teslafag
>>14786285
That car is like 50% bigger, you retard.
The Model 3 is like a civic.
It "looks like a turtle" because teardrop shapes are aerodynamic for their volume.
A big part of it having a 200+ mile range is needing to be aerodynamic. Good things engineers are making these designs and not you.
>>14787791
>The Model 3 is like a civic.
no it isnt, it looks smaller in isolation because of the roofline
>>14774548
It's a car; It's not supposed to fly lol
>>14787822
Are you sure it's not just a manlet in the car? With people standing by it, it didn't look any bigger than a new Civic.
>>14787845
>mfw the 2016 civic is actually an inch longer than a 2016 3-series
>>14787882
Yeah, it's gotten huge.
And I don't think people realize the Model 3 is deceptively larger looking than it really is with how the nose sticks out, just like on the Mazda 3, and the door handles are so tiny on the FWD models.
>>14787882
yeah but the civic doesn't even weigh 3000 lbs
a full loaded 3 series will be over 2 tons
>mfw you're retarded
>>14774516
I like the one in that pic
>>14787882
But does it have more space?
![moustache_1024x1024[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Esep6cs.jpg "moustache_1024x1024[1].jpg")
Honestly the original looks better than anything else. It looks a bit weird which is perfect because it alerts the viewer to realize it's missing a piece for a reason.
IMO the 3 makes the X look a bit apologetic and the S almost embarrassingly so. 3 makes a statement. I think it's going to be an iconic form in the future.
>>14789238
i agree, i think it's good that it looks weird as a testament to how far EV has come
>>14774468
Both look like shit
>>14789238
>It looks a bit weird which is perfect because it alerts the viewer to realize it's missing a piece for a reason.
It's the most retarded design ever and that would be the most retarded reason for it ever. There's nothing special about it.
>>14789372
I respectfully disagree and so do hundreds of thousands of people ponying up $1000 just to get on years long waiting list
I recall iPhone 4 and 5 both being derided widely. Didn't hurt their sales either
>>14789372
great argument fagtron you sure convinced me with those hot opinions
post a car that you think DOES look good then
>>14789390
>so do hundreds of thousands of people ponying up $1000 just to get on years long waiting list
Did you ask them all about the front end design?
It's awful. Why would you add a stupid flat bit on the front just to highlight you don't need a grill at the front? It's not the first fucking car not to need it.
Even Hitler knew how you design a fucking car.
>>14787831
![Mirrors-Edge[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/GH0A2fP.jpg "Mirrors-Edge[1].jpg")
> that clean as fuck minimalist aesthetic
fuck my balls just can't contain the rush of semen pouring out all over me. I want to marry that car, cherish it, have car babies with it and with them usher in a new age of neo-utopiac, eco-friendly, urban design
>>14789238
I agree with that bit about how it should be different.
The problem is they sculpted it like there should be a grill there, but it's not.
They could have gone with a more rear-engined car looking front.
I think the shops that flatten or point out the front without going full-porsche look a lot better. I think most that add a Grill except the Model X looking one look terrible.
It was an interesting design experiment, though, to create a grill appearance with the shadow. It just doesn't work.
