Tesla Model 3, New roadster and truck, opinions/discussion

There is nothing really exciting here for me. The 3 represents the maturity of the Tesla skill set as an auto maker. High volume manufacture/quality is its next challenge.

The real intrigue for me with Tesla and its design capabilities, is its quick application of what it learns from its latest project. If you look at the progression from the Roadster to the 3, we get to see the rapid build out of the factory in Fremont, the charging infrastructure, the Giga factory in Nevada and all of those lovely metrics that Tesla is so famous for justifying its existence.

The styling is very 2011 and similar in aesthetic to the Hyndai Avante. The 3’s tight radius across the top of the 20th century combustion engine grill area is particularly disturbing.
