Model 3 Refresh Revealed!

[JBee]

Was hoping for next gen motor combo. Otherwise nothing notable I'm afraid.

Maybe we'll get a nice price reduction?

Any idea when we can order in the US? I'm getting a performance.

Won't be available for order until October.

i like the features, but not the look. Will probably eventually get one, but very glad i'll also have my 2019 M3 forever

Hope it’s true, drove a Model 3 for a year and got rid of it. Was ? driving on the road!

suprised to hear this too care to elaborate? i don't love the stiff suspension and weight, but i do love the general handling of the car, and ofcourse the acceleration and regen.. No maintenance and free charging are just bonuses. What do you drive now?

 

[Diehard]

Will be interesting how range/price will compare to CT and if that comparison especially when the new Y comes out, will make people think; Do I really need a truck?

odd, since the M3 owners i know love their cars.

It's a self-selected group.

The people who bought the Model 3 generally like it, the peoe who don't like it generally don't buy it. Assuming, of course, that we're only looking at the subset of people who have the means, the motive, and the opportunity to buy a Tesla.

You just described anyone who likes any car they own.

I actually am not a fan of the 3 either. I love the Y though. I'm guessing this will fix all of the issues I had with the 3.

Also can't wait for the refreshed Y.

What are the next Gen motors? I haven't read anything about them.

Some cool previews of CyberTruck features here

Looks great! the range improvement is impressive. These range numbers are approaching the useful threshold for Canada (where cold, distance, and limited charging make EVs unappealing)

Guessing they don’t live or drive on Oklahoma roads?

I prefer the new front bumper over the “guppy” bumper the original has. I like the headlights better. The backend looks like an improvement to me. Ambient lighting like we saw on the CT in the drive-thru. Vented seats are cool (literally). Haven’t been a fan of wood in the interior of a car (we got rid of it on the outside of the cars in the 1950s) I like the increased range. Overall, I see a better car for the same money. It matters not a bit to me what it costs to build. Sure, I’d love to see a price drop, that means I get more for less. Same with the CT, early recipients are going to pay more than those who get theirs in 2 or 3 years.
