I don't mean to troll, but I really hope that that is not the final look of the car. Looks like one of those toy red and yellow cars [0]. Such an amazing engine

- lotu 11y agoThis was something that Elon Musk really got right with Tesla, he made it a point for his cars to have sex appeal. His model names are even S3X. On the other hand I think this little car is probably going to be geared to the elderly or the disabled who would not be able to drive a regular car, so in that case sex appeal might not matter that much.
- a_c_s 11y agoI think "cute and harmless" is actually the right approach for these cars, at least while they are in development. It is harder to project fears of unsafe, dangerous, menacing AI on something that looks likes a kid's toy. Once autonomous cars are for sale and established in the market then I totally agree with you.
