That is a major advantage for the Model 3 over the Bolt. Besides the fact that those two vehicles would never be compared if they didn’t have electric motors in common. GM not investing in infrastructure shows a lack of vision and commitment to the EV market.

I can’t tell this is going to be a worthwhile discussion...

I feel like it’s largely based on potential future growth (that’s why you invest anyway). A small company like Tesla has plenty of potential growth. A large company not so much.

3. GM and all automakers can take advantage of the same fucking incentive. People act like it’s only available to Tesla...

The credit can go towards any EV. The consumers just happen to be choosing the best ones.

You can say this about literally any fast vehicle. “I saw a {insert supercar} and it was doing the speed limit.”

Dude, I’m not going to lie. I’m very confused by your comment. I was defending the Model S.

Yeah, that original comment was spoken like someone who has never driven a Model S.

So we’re going to go back to looking like carriages?

It seems to me that no other manufacturer is truly commited to EV rollouts because they aren’t willing to put money into infrastructure like Tesla is. Besides the ugliness of the Bolt it just doesn’t compete with the Model 3 on supercharger availability alone. Not to mention all of the other features I think the Model…

I think it appeals to people who really want to look like they are driving an EV. I just want a normal car that is electric. That’s why I generally prefer the Tesla look to all the other EVs out there. Things like the Focus are OK but they have terrible range.

but if the Model 3 is fully autonomous maybe it may actually be better for the blind :)

Sign up for a Model S test drive. Then come back and tell us if you opinion is still the same. It’s really a great car.

It’s at least going to have the same level of autonomy as the current Model S but I think they are going they have a surprise in store. There is definitely going to be something significant in “part 2". I’m also expecting a refreshed S here soon.

Level 5 is basically an autonomous vehicle with no option for human control, right?

It’s going to have a steering wheel and be the first production vehicle to reach Level 4 autonomy. That’s my guess. Also why the gauges are not important.

I’m still not entirely sure they couldn’t get similar head room with steel but the picture clears up some of the reason why it might be more difficult.

I think you run into a similar problem as the “hatch problem” illustrated above.

:) Really though it’s not any different to glance down from the the road to look at a gauge in either position.

The glass roof is for rear headroom while keeping the sleek design. Not completely useless.
