Anyone else hoping for a 2 door version?

I think it would be great if they extended the front doors, took out the b pillar(and strengthen roof) and make it so the rear windows could sitill go down?

Just as practical/spacious as the normal 4 door version apart from being harder to get apssengers in

That a LCD touchscreen might be remotely acceptable

>>17320601
I was skeptical til I used one. Maybe you should try one out instead of being upset by pictures on the internet.

ignoring the car aspect of the interior for a sec, one thing that is true is that solid state hardware is more reliable than actual switches and such. having one screen and a computer is much more robust than a computer, a billion physical knobs, dials, and buttons, and their relevant led lights and wiring

really though, it just saves money. For instance, there won't be an actual "roof" - you can either get a glass roof, or a metal sheet where the glass roof would be.

they say the've put a lottt of effort into stuff like cupholder location. every car company says that, but I think the 3 will be interesting in that regard (ergos and such)

>>17320629
What happens when it breaks? or cracks? or gets scratched?

saging the daily shitnigger thread

>>17320696
the dealership replaces the screen, obviously
ICE cucks this stupid

>>17320696
if it breaks you replace it. I've never heard of a tesla S/X center console screen cracking or breaking though. I know a guy with a 2012 S he doesn't baby at all- he keeps two dogs in the back all the time - and it was just a bit smudged. I see it along the same lines of "what if the steering wheel falls off"; yeah it might happen, but it probably won't

>>17320406
The build quality is going to be awful at that price point. Just look at the Model S and X to see what Tesla charges you for 6 figures

>>17320549
Problem is there's no instrument cluster, you have to look down and to the right to see any information

>unreliable autopilot with shaky reassurances about autopilot "2.0" by CEO Elon Musk
>expensive to maintain due to cost and availability of parts

Seems fun for a while but I don't see it being the ICE breaker yet.

>>17321193
The ICE breaker was the Chevy Bolt

but because it's not a tesla and not a "cool start up company with a hip young demographic" no one wants them despite that they're more practical and more affordable

>>17321193
expensive to maintain? what?

oh yeah, just gotta swap out that self contained brushless motor lubrication every three charges...


the one thing that is kinda doshy are the official tesla car checkups. Other than that it's pretty cheap to run with electricity prices and all

>>17321010
What sort of transmission is it? CVT? Would be nice to know if they used something stronger than a torque converter.

>>17321202
the bolt is fugly and poorly designed. Hard plastic interior? "stick" shifter? Crap fast charging capability? No thanks. Would rather get a used leaf and swap the battery when the replacements come out

>>17321209

Talk about a closed ecosystem, wew. I could se it working out for them - other car companies might do the same some day.

there's a hud on the windshield right guys?
right?

>>17321263
yeah, plus they would have literally perfect data regarding the number and type of accidents, since every tesla has sensors up the wazoo.

thus the insurance cost could be as low as possible while still paying out what needs paying

AP2 is almost there... https://youtu.be/Qp7DDfBfXvk?t=2m18s

>>17321292

>>17321300
people who got to ride in the prototype at the reveal said that the ac was like no other ac they've seen in a car.

although. it's usually better to just drive with the windows down in an EV. AC eats up battery. I don't mind that much... after all you won't be smelling gasoline emissions lol

I've seen a few of the test vehicles tooling around the southern part of SF where I live/work. I think they run them down here b/c the roads here are beyond shit and they want to see if the car will rattle apart. They're pretty small, smaller than pics would lead you to believe.

So there is no instrument cluster? That sucks.

>>17321352
there is a cluster. it's on the screen.

>>17321263
>>17321295
I didn't think of it this way. They might as well cut out the middleman. Is there any value AAA and other insurance agencies provide that Tesla would not?

Isnt dodge demon faster 0-60 than the tesla?

>>17333497
correct, by like 0.20. It depends how you are measuring the speed with "rollout" and such on drag strips. Both are awfully fast.....
.....however, just wait until the Roadster 2 comes out. The S is a 5/7 seat family sedan with a sunroof and a fancy interior. Wasn't really designed to be a performance car first and foremost. The next roadster will probably be q u i t e fast if Elon tells the engineers to make it fast

>>17333497
nope. it isn't. there's no video proof

>>17321210
Electric cars have no transmission. Just a reduction gear. Motor is always spinning with the wheels.

>>17335293
and it doesn't take much energy to keep a motor spinning.

all the energy is spent, just like with ICE, at getting the vehicle to the cruising speed.

>>17333481
>>17333487
I've test driven a Bolt. It is an amazing car. The interior space is YUGE!. I can sit in either front seat and move it so far back, I can't reach the end of the footwell; and i'm 6'2".

I can sit in the back seat comfortably.

it drives better than any GM product I have driven in the past 20 years. you can pull a flappy paddle on the left to use regen braking to stop the car. never have to use the brake pedal.

the only negative. is that the giant touch screen in the center dash. is at a bad angle. it will get washed out by any direct sunlight.
