Yeah that's why I said it's personal. I feel the design of the car is extremely forward looking and was primarily driven by good taste not cost constraints. I hate to keep making the comparisons but it reminds me of Apple ripping out all but essential components -- easy to see through the lens of costs in the short term but in the long term provides freedom to take the design further in the next iteration. The 3 represents a foundational design that transitions elegantly to autonomous control (imho) and will provide the vantage point Tesla needs to design their first from-the-ground up autocar.
- BoorishBears 9y agoThe problem for me is it feels like the market (and Tesla to an extent) has jumped the gun. Tesla hasn't demonstrated enough self-driving progress (and imo, no one has yet) to justify the car's design to me, nor being a company with a 54 billion dollar market cap. It's one thing if FSD was just on the horizon, but there are an incredible number of very hard problems to solve before we get there. Yet Tesla is designing a car that requires FSD for justification of it's interior and charging for FSD as a feature.
