@jackdweck Agreed 100% haha. I would honestly say, owning a Tesla is one of my only materialistic dream purchases that I would ever want. Nothing else. The car, the mission, the makers mean a lot to me and they inspire me to press on. My goal is to get one by the age of 25, but I'm hoping sooner, fingers crossed! Who knows, maybe if my projects like the gag site that is being featured on here today takes off, I will be able to accomplish this dream in months time ;) hahaha Work work work work!
@jackdweck Except that.... Apple isn't generating any hype anymore. I mean, come on. iPhone SE?
Report
@aldo_arriaga@jackdweck I mean I hear that, I do. On the other hand, everybody gave them a hard time about the iPhone 5c but that thing outsold the 5s. I definitely agree though that they do not have the same panache of old.

@mskakala "only" $35,000? That's surprisingly cheap for a Tesla or am I missing something here?
@_kevinatari you should see the presentation; the base model includes this (base version). Additional features & options are extra (additional range, wheels, sport version, etc.)
Report
@mskakala "Autopilot hardware" is included, not all of Autopilot. Yes, the safety features are enabled for free but we'll probably have to pay $3K for the full self-driving and self-parking experience. I've ordered mine!
@jojo_chan I think it's a good thing. It should look different than reflexes somehow

@jojo_chan I mean... there doesn't need to be a grill. I think we're just used to seeing the grill and naturally, we're just like, "What?" But I think with time (and more electric cars on the road), we'll start thinking a grill is weird :P.
@jojo_chan Precisely. I find this quite unsettling. Sure, it doesn't *need* a grille, but both the S and X gave the impression of a grille. However, accordingly to Jalopnik, the design issue is the trunk: http://jalopnik.com/this-is-the-...
@bbzeven Elon isn't as charismatic as Steve Jobs but I still trust him all the same. You can tell he believes 100% in the companies he's building and there's no one else I'd rather see presenting for Tesla.
Report
@bbzeven@gregsf I'm actually a huge fan of the owner coming out and presenting it himself. Humanizes the company.
Report
@gregsf I think the number was 115K, but very impressive nevertheless! It shows that the world is ready for electric cars (and trusts Tesla to deliver), which is huge.
Report
I love Tesla and have huge respect for Elon. But the presentation style and audience reaction is very hard to watch.
And why does Tesla force the Preorder-Form on the website visitors instead of showing the event-video?
...Exactly...
Well I guess Europeans who didn't get up at 5 in the morning to watch live, have to watch the recording of a periscope stream on YouTube..
Anyway! The Model3 is a better looking car than I expected with the excepotion of the nonexistent Dashboard.
