Thanks for the links flabby. Wow, so the Rapide is actually a hatchback, it looks just like a coupe/sedan (I thought it had a standard trunk, never saw the back open before).


Kevin, I don't think you have anything to worry about. If Aston can make a 4 door luxury hatchback that looks that good (the Rapide), then I have no worries about Model S.

Thank you for posting the photo. I've been trying to do that for the last hour. Still haven't figured that one out, even with help from some forum members.

I agree that if the Model S looks like the Rapide, it would be an awesome car. I wonder how easy it is to have circuits to charge 2 Tesla cars? Or can you easily coordinate to charge 2 cars from a single charger?

Amazing find TEG. This actually does what I need. I currently drive an SUV for the times I have to haul gear to work and back. That's only about 15% of the time so the rest of my driving is extremely wasteful. I at least bought the most stylish (to me) SUV on the market but this AM concept kicks it's a**! The AM (if made) would probably be 2 to 3 times the price and probably even worse mileage but an EV of this one would sway me.

Thanks Flabby That shot of the AM Rapide back open gives hope. To me this is the perfect configuration for the Model S. Covers all the bases and still looks great. And looking at the comments here it seems to be the car of choice. Wouldn't it be great if this was the car that caused Tesla to hire Fiskar in the first place?!?

I could make the Rapide work by loading up the passenger seat but that would be a crime wouldn't it?

Sigh...

My contribution to the discussion.

I went with this angle because the grilles on most of these are too distracting and the Whitestar probably shouldn't have one anyway since aero is so important.
