Wow that looks awesome. Throw a third motor in there and I’m a buyer! I’ve never fully warmed up to the Model 3 looks but always liked the S looks but this actually looks better than the S.

I'm not sure if that is an actual Model 3, that could be only a render, but if it looks anything like this than it will be taking some of its characteristics from the Roadster...and yes that looks awesome! BTW the M3P doesn't need a third motor, it's pretty awesome with the dual motor setup

That is 100% a render and the production model isn't going to look anywhere near that sleek. I wish it would though!

What size is "compact"? What segment are they aiming for - the size of a Corolla/Civic? Buick Encore size for the CUV variant?

Yep, I think he mentions it's based on the leaks, so it's got to be render, we won't know what it looks like until they actually release it for mass production

From what I've read, it will be about the size of a Corolla, Civic or Bolt EUV. It will be plenty roomy if it's the size of any of the cars I mentioned. Don't know if it will be a CUV

No one knows what it will look like outside of Franz von Holzhausen and a few in his inner circle. If the new 3 is anything like that render it will be a flat out beautiful car not something we can say about the current 3 IMO.

I'm surprised Tesla is again out sourcing their seats they put a lot of time and effort into doing them in house.

Don't think that works, they need to be a certain distance apart. Maybe I'm misunderstanding that tweet.

That's what people are mentioning. We'll know for sure when they start production

Another render also shown from the same person on Twitter (a great source of Tesla info)
