Tesla confirmed it will be under 60 kwh battery. So 50? 55?

400,000 Tesla Model 3 reservations! United States current total electric vehicles, sold from 2008 through December 2015, is about 410,000. Which is about 33% of total global EVs. That is a huge market share if it materializes!

- Amazing technology, superior car, and I want to be part of the revolution.

AWD increases range, safety, and performance; also will most likely be under 5k. So that is my must have upgrade.

Seems like the consensus is 60 kwh size. The battery modules and size will be different for the m3 according to Musk. Another thing I would add is GM tends to exaggerate where Tesla likes to under promise and over deliver. So I would subtract a little from the bolt and add a little to the Tesla 3.

3.6 was averaged between all the model S's. The sizes and dual versus single motor create variations that were kind of large. So that is why I gave it a 50 to 60 kwh guesstimate. I am thinking 50 may be more likely. The Chevy bolt has a 60 but will not be as efficient. (Just for comparison). I...

Thanks! That's a great point and adds to the analysis.

Display will make more sense? Possible HUD on the windshield? Just speculating.

I hope you are right. I was just being conservative in my calculations but I think it will most likely be 15 to 20 % more efficient. Also upgrading to dual motors increases range a bit.

So upgrade will maybe be to 70 kwh battery?

I am just speculating about the battery size of the Model 3. I would appreciate any input. So I have a few assumptions and then some math. Tesla Model S seems to average about 3.6 mi/kwh So if the Model 3 increased that by 10% (due to smaller size and weight - assumption) that would be about...

On one of the test drives the engineer seemed to indicate there would be a metal roof option.

Thanks for that clarification.

The Tesla charger comes with the Model 3. Why would you want to pay extra?
