The continued dedication among traditional automobile manufacturers to denoting their electric vehicles by using White, Blue, Silver, Black, and International Emergency High Voltage Orange is astounding.
Now, where have I seen that before?
Found it!
I would suggest that that VW car is in the same class as the Chevy Bolt.
I believe that we are doing a grave disservice to the M3 by posting its pictures along with cars that are not in it's class. Just because 2 cars are EV's don't make them classmates.
You mean on the 17th? No, not at all.Anyone think the announcement on the 18th will be about the final design and a different front end?
It has an annoyed facial expression.
it'll definitely take time to get used to it-and then you'll like it-I like it already-it's the future- no more grill.
The Model 3 prototype actually was styled using old-school ICE design language, which is still engrained in much of our society. The M3 has a grille, albeit blanked out. Here is a photo of the Model 3, and below that is a render that pastes a Ford Focus radiator grille on the flat nose of the M3 (the Ford radiator is about the same shape, so an easy stretch to make it fit). That render pretty clearly shows that Franz was copying the ICE look when he designed the Model 3.
The Model 3 version below that shows a low-drag, aerodynamic nose well-suited for EVs.Another illustration of the same point is blanking over the grille on the Ford Focus to give you the Model 3 look. Either way, the grille shape is still there. Finally, another comparison of the Model 3 with its “grille” compared to a sleeker, more modern EV alternative.
Why not just go with the Model X or new Model S nose, the Model 3 nose looks like it got smacked. Hope they change it before production starts. Also do not like the Tesla insignia on the frunk.I figured out what it is that I don't like about the M3 front end. Aside from the smile it is the view from the side. If you look at the hood it slopes down from the windshield and then at the front of the tire it goes back up a bit before plunging down at the front. It looks too thin ahead of the front wheel.
Love the rest of the car though. I will live with it

How about two horizontal bars so the intake mimics the Model 3 logo?
