Since I haven't seen anyone photo shop the 3 fascia onto the S, the Saleen was the closest reference point. And that's why I said a more "subtle" version of the Saleen mod.Here's what Saleen did with the Model S. Not sure if I like it better or not.
The Model 3 page on TeslaMotors.com has been updated with a video of the 3 from various angles as opposed to a static photo which can distort the proportions. I like every view of the Model 3 in the video. My configuration date cannot come soon enough!
Reading comprehension. I said the greenhouse looks bigger relatively. Model X is an SUV; you'd expect it to have a tall roof and a big greenhouse. Model 3 is a sedan, yet its greenhouse is proportionately bigger when compared to Model X., when using the hood as a reference point.Right...the model 3 looks taller than the X.
Honestly I'm not sure what Tesla's bizarre fascination is with the "just got into an accident" look.I am sorry but the Model S is a much better looking car than the Model 3. The Model 3 looks pretty good from the side and back but the front is pretty bad. There is no reason why a Tesla vehicle should have a duck-bill front.

Honestly I'm not sure what Tesla's bizarre fascination is with the "just got into an accident" look.
Model S with nosecone had a beautiful shape. I see them on the road and they stand out a ton because the whole shape flows seamlessly from the underside of the car all the way to the back. It looks slick, sleek, slippery, and aerodynamic.
Then they had to smash in and flatten the front. The stache at least hides the bumper damage a bit, but it's out in the open on the 3.
I just don't get it. Their cars are designed and built to be aerodynamic and fluid-looking. Model S nosecone looks like it cuts through the air like a hot knife through butter. All Teslas since then look like they're trying to plow snow. The bizarre lines are disruptive and jarring. They don't mesh at all with the rest of the car's design language. Where else do you see lines that abruptly appear and disappear out of nowhere? Where else do you see flat, impeding shapes when it comes to aerodynamics?
I get it that they want their cars to stand out and are trying to redefine and blah blah blah, but why is Elon and co. so hung up on the smushed duck bill design? I would have loved to see a more sexy and functional design element.
This is the one thing about Teslas that has me scratching my head. It's not even just the 3, it's all the cars.
I really have no idea what you are basing your opinion on. Have you seen the car in real life? I have and the greenhouse isn't that big compared to the Model S. It also doesn't look that big in the picture below compared to a BMW 3-series.Reading comprehension. I said the greenhouse looks bigger relatively. Model X is an SUV; you'd expect it to have a tall roof and a big greenhouse.

Please only vote if you've seen the 3 in person, and feel free to post the details for why below.
Most people like the refresh look of the S over the nosecone. The nosecone is not a good look. Look how ridiculous it looks on the X.The old S front end may look sleek, but from an aerodynamic standpoint (CD and lift) it may not as good as the new look and the Model 3 front. I like the new look.

I don't dislike the designs, but I do think they're out of place when looking at the rest of the car.ROTFLOL at some of your descriptions. Clearly not your design favorites. Since airflow isn't needed to cool an engine, there really is no need for a front grill look. With the front "solid" more or less, I would think it would push, or "plow" as you referred to the front design, the air to the sides and up and be more aerodynamic. The newer nosecone looks have really grown on me, like the minimal interior, and they're not flat like a brick wall. I'd say the new fronts are less "classic car" looking. Kind of goes hand in hand with a more simplified, miminal look and I think still classically sleek.
lmao I'm basing my opinion on the picture showing the two cars side by side that everybody else in this thread is commenting on. If you measure from the ground to the hood, then divide that by the distance between the hood and the top of the glass, that number would be smaller on the Model 3. At least that's how it looks in that picture. I think it's reasonable to use that as a comparison point since they're both in the same shot.I really have no idea what you are basing your opinion on.

Honestly your comment makes you sound pretty snobby. Seems like you don't like the look of the Model 3 because it doesn't match with what you think it should look like. So because you expect the Model X to have a big greenhouse it's okay for it to have a big greenhouse. But since the Model 3 is a sedan, it has to look like what other sedans look like?
