Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

Just curious - I'm guessing they are they same part?

Only ask as my M3 has doubles on the front and single on the back. Are the rear ones on Model Y single or double glazed?

Does the M3 even come with double on the rear these days?

Model Y rear windows look larger than the 3, would be surprised if they are the same size..

Where did you read those rumours? It's clearly a model s in the background

Be great to see hatchback Model 3 ‘Golf’ size and indeed also continue with the saloon bodyshape as an alternative option as it’s still v popular.

I think Tesla are betting on SUV’s having reached peak market saturation.

Another first world problem solved.

Well then…..

I'm on the fence about this. I really like the new design, interior updates and increased range but the stalkless design is a huge negative for me. Why change something that worked so well?

I hope BYD come in strong with the pricing for the Seal to undercut the model 3 by a nice margin and force Tesla to reduce their prices accordingly.
