I think it'll be easy to get used to. Modern Mini Coopers and Priuses have center-ish dashes as well. Plus, the speedometer is going to be on the leftmost part of the screen.

It's certainly something I'd want to try firsthand before purchasing it.

Software can detect any modification to the body and remotely report it to Tesla HQ, who can then lock you out of your car and recall it to the factory.

If the new bumper retains all the same sensor locations, there's no way it could tell. It's a molded chunk of plastic.

Where do you draw the line with mods anyway? A 12v phone charger? A seat cover? New tires? Aftermarket wiper blades? Vatozone lug nuts? Stickers? I want to see their verbage for all of this.

lol, I'm making ridiculous shit up of course, but try and modify the software that runs the whole thing yourself and see what kind of trouble that gets you in. That's what's truly locked down and restricted, you can put whatever body kit you want on the car... for now.

>>17568080
>Modern Mini Coopers and Priuses have center-ish dashes as well.
the problem is the cooper speedo is HUGE and the prius center dash is set way far back
the tesla screen is way forward so you have to refocus

i really don't get why they just didnt do a basic HUD, it's probably not that expensive and way simpler to manufacture than an instrument binnacle

>>17568203
There are some people messing around with model S motors ripped out of junked teslas; without the software restrictions they can really chooch. But yes, it is certainty locked down. One has to remember that it's an expensive family sedan; the user-modable EV is still some years away.

There is some guy who will increase your model S power though, warranty notwithstanding. I dunno how he does it- must be some way of tricking the sensors.

>>17568218
Concern over a fundamental UI change in automobiles is something that we should all have, but at the same time this is the big make-or-break car for Tesla. Elon tweeted a while ago to someone that he "wouldn't care' about the lack of a traditional HUD in the 3; I trust him on this one.

My phone mount I use in my car is right about where the tm3 screen is - I could easily see myself reading speed off of it rather than just google maps. That's just me though.

>>17568218
>i really don't get why they just didnt do a basic HUD

That's why they work at tesla and you don't

>>17568030
It really bothers me that the Model 3 has nothing on the front bumper
I get that they are electric so they dont need a front grill, but at least have something there. The model S and X have black highlights in place of a grill

>>17568152
There is no way they could design an electric or hybrid car without a kill switch. They all have one, and the Model S specifically has one in the frunk that anyone can cut without a key for emergency services, and another service disconnect at the high voltage battery so Tesla technicians and body shops can make sure it's completely powered down to safely work on it.

>boring, tasteless design
You know if electric cars became common during the 80's or 90's we would've at least seen some unique designs you could only pull off if you didn't have an engine in front of you. But since every car is doomed to look exactly the same due to modern driver and pedestrian safety laws, this isn't the case at all. Tesla's just look just like any other 4-door sedan could look, except without a grille.

>>17568401
I'd rather have the 0.21 drag coefficient of the tm3 and the "blandness" (that I like) over a unique design that isn't as aerodynamic. Perhaps in five years when maximizing range isn't a priority other designs will come into play, but hey I'd rather go further right now.

If they had white numbers in the rear windows they were release candidates and not production models, and the testing would make sense. The first handoff to customers is at the end of the month I think

some things I've noticed: they've really took the interior up a notch from the S/X. There's more door storage, adjustable seatbelt height things, and bigger cupholders.
Also, there might be a pretty big aftermarket for dash-mounted stuff. Lots of empty space to be utilized.

Not all electric cars are cuck mobiles

>>17569749
>Different gear ratios
So they added a transmission then? Because the Tesla's don't have a transmission, it's just electric motor connect to each wheel. I mean you can do things like upping the amperage or adding batteries or adding in capacitors for speed bursts. They could also do aero enhancements and handling enhancements.

It'd be fun to take a P90D and take a suspension engineer, and an experienced electrical engineer, (I am in aerospace and have experience with aerodynamics) and do over the car for performance/track use. The electric motors have real potential tbqh. Maybe offer an optional high power generator that can fastcharge the vehicle as well so you can actually use it for more than a few laps on a track day.

Really shouldn't be that hard to change/upgrade some stuff, but I'm really just talking out of my ass. Fun to imagine though.

>>17570805
The S really isn't supposed to be a track monster. Family landbarge and all. Dunno why people get all told-you-so when it does crappily.
The Roadster 2 will have a 0-60 of 2.0; if they beef up the cooling system it'll be pretty good on the track.

>>17570805
I misread it. All it says is Saleen specific Gears so that probably didn't add one. Also it's power was bumped up to 691hp.

IT LOOKS GREAT

Been a Tesla fan for some time now but I will admit I hate how they've done the display/dash. I had been considering a model 3 until that setup was more or less confirmed. I'll probably just settle for something else since a properly equipped model S, which I'd rather have, is just not in my price range.

>>17570985
is it the aesthetic or the usage that you find unappealing? Like if it was the same sized screen, same location, but a different "feel" would you like it? Or could the design be the same, but the screen just needs to be in the "normal" position?

because I've found that some people either like the idea of the center screen but not the execution, then others like the aesthetic but not the center screen.

Or some like it as it is, like me. Well, I guess that Tesla doesn't have to worry about it turning away customers for at least a year. Even if 100,000 preorderers abdicate, they'll still have a big backlog to slush through before they need to actually advertise anything

>>17568030
>>17568036
Honestly, this is actually quite good for what it is, but people are paying mostly for the battery. Meaning the material will be shit, the drive quality will be shit, and road noise will be high.

I might be wrong, but there will always be some type of sacrifices made to make a car affordable.

>>17570841
I completely understand its intent though. You should look up the stripped P90D the guy took out and raced people for cash with. They raced like 1/8th miles and he destroys everyone.
Again I know it's not meant for that, but the AE86 wasn't meant to be a drift car, it was meant to be a cheap daily. But it's damn good at drifting.

>>17570847
I might have to read up on that because it doesn't have gears to begin with and I'd be interested to find out how they made more power.

>>17568072
I agree, most of the other things aide from the steering wheel look fine to me. The wheel and lack of gauges are what the fuck tier

>>17571007
>road noise

desu hearing the road and the other stuff going on on the road is nicer than most of it being muffled out by your engine. In the S I've been in you can really hear what you're driving on, if that makes sense. It's quite pleasant.

>>17571017
plenty of real estate to slap on eBay gauges though. The screen already shows you most of what you need to know; it'll graph your performance and power draw and stuff.

>>17571032
>plenty of real estate to slap on eBay gauges though.
The model S and X have gauges, there should be a second digital console behind the wheel. I'd be fine with them shrinking the middle screen if it was necessary to balance costs.

>>17571123
the whole point is that you don't need one though. You get a less obstructed view while still having quick access to the critical information like charge and speed and such. Having said that, I don't think they will drop the 2nd screen in the s/x. The Y might just have 1 screen though, depends if it'll be priced around the current x.

>>17571139
Okay, and automatics don't need a tachometer but we still include them in every ice car

>>17571152
I think you're in the minority there. I'd rather not have my car designed around legacy ICE features. Of course, other EV car designers take this to mean "let's look weird for the sake of standing out". i.e. the i3 and early leafs

the thing is, theres regulations these days regarding height of the car. if the front looked the same but rounded, without the fake grille, it would look fine.

but they insisted on going with the "I have no mouth and I must scream" design that shows where the grille SHOULD be, but juat has it sealed over, and that looks fucking weird. not good, just weird. it simply looks like there should be a grille

>captcha: stop the green

>>17571294
one thing to keep in mind is that when level 4 AP comes out there won't really be a difference between the driver and passenger.

It's still a ways off from that though

>>17568074
>all these gay numales are excited about this car
rly makes u think

Externally it looks nice, although it's TBD if they can maintain consistent panel gaps.

But the lack of a speedometer in the drivers eye line seems like a huge safety fail. They should include a HUD speedo as standard. Plus this day and age the gps display should also be in front of the driver (in the gauge cluster or in a hud)

>>17570882

>>17571571
But the Model S isn't, and that's the Tesla car you can sit in right now and judge interior quality

If a $75k-$150k Tesla feels like a $35k car, what would a $35k Tesla feel like?

>>17571571
the funny thing is, they are going to only be producing the ~40k+ version at first. It only becomes a 35k car when the demand for that first version finally goes below the production capabilities at Fremont

>>17571721
Just wait eight days for the first car handoff. Then the reviews will start coming in.

>>17571738
I'll wait until I can drive one myself. A lot of people said that the S class had a great interior, but they never sat in an S class has inflating bolsters that hold you in you seat while cornering or reclining and massaging rear seats

>>17571748
test drives will also be late this year. The tesla stores are pretty ok with people doing test drives just for the sake of test driving a tesla and not purchasing it.

A lot of dealer p90s are for sale now that they are replacing the loaner fleets with p100ds. Their idea is that when someone needs a loaner tesla, you might as well edge them towards upgrading by showing them the best package

the wheels look like shit and the ipad in the center is fucking laughable

lol you have no idea how wrong you are

>>17572451
Yes, however, in the -d models the front motor and rear motor are not the same; while they aren't "geared" differently, they have different efficient RPMs. Thus at low speeds one motor will do most of the work and at high speeds the other motor/both motors will do the work. This increases the range by a substantial amount.

I'm not sure how to describe something like that? EVs bring a lot of new lingo to the table.

>>17572746
they are geared differently. im pretty sure the front motor has a taller gear to do the most work during highway cruising

>low Cd
A low Cd, but it's a meaningless metric without area. A crx from 1988 has a CdA of 5.4, a 1990 300zx is 6.05.

A model S is 6.2. Fairly comparable to most cars.

Tesla paid back the loan they were given, with interest. The taxpayer benefited. https://energy.gov/lpo/tesla
