Up ta somethin'


the Model 3 is the one with the snow scoop, bumper ejection system, windows that freeze shut, doors which cannot be opened due to the handles freezing flush with the panel, and no battery heater. it was clearly not tested outside of Southern California.


the Model S and Model X are fine in the cold, they just have shorter ranges and slower charge rates than they otherwise would due to the battery heaters sucking down energy.

its kinda hard to tell with the perspective of that photo but I think the 3rd row seats are super inclined to keep your head from beating on the ceiling and I bet that has some weird effects on crash tests

even how inclined they are, there's like a foot or less between the top of the back and where the back windshield would be. i wouldn't even be able to fit in that seat if I bent my head forward

just like the X, there's not going to be additional ground clearance from its parent model 3/S; they're just going to apply the stretch tool to make it more accommodating for the fatass market for these types of things and throw in a useless third row for both the marketing cred and for bazingas to negotiate with their wives
