Elon Musk: Tesla Model 3 "won't look like other cars"

From the very beginning of a long-term goal, Tesla has been the development and production of affordable and attractive electric car for the masses. The long-awaited Tesla Model 3 will most likely be a watershed moment for the company led by Elon Musk. With an expected price of $ 35,000, Tesla hopes that the Model 3 will help the company to sell 500,000 cars in 2020. The Model 3 is assigned a daunting mission, especially given what we about it know almost nothing yet.

One of the most intriguing aspects of the Model 3 will be the look of the car, and all the rumors around the new model, we should expect something incredible. While answering questions on Reddit a couple of months ago Mask asked if he could tell about Model 3 something the audience does not know.

The response to the Mask was very tantalizing: "It doesn't look like other cars".





Over the past few months, the media did Wake up nuggets of information about possible design Model 3.

First, it is worth mentioning a quote of Tesla chief designer Franz von Holzhausen. During an interview with Gigaom von Holzhausen said that if the Model S had a classic design in the style of "sat down and went," the Model 3 will be "more expressive", more "Haute couture".

Not so long ago Electrek, citing a source associated with Tesla design group, has published information indicating that Tesla makes every effort to make the design with a drag coefficient of below 0.2. To achieve this, Tesla will dare to include avant-garde design.

"I have heard within the company that Elon Musk makes hard for design engineers to design with a drag coefficient of less than 0.20, which is lower than any mass produced car in the world and close to extreme vehicles like the GM EV1 and the XL1 from Volkswagen (as in the image at the beginning of the article) — both cars are flat covers on the rear wheels.

The achievement of extremely low coefficients often leads to non-traditional — read conservative — designs. But given the love Mask for beauty, it is unlikely that Tesla will sacrifice visual appeal for the sake of achieving the best aerodynamic characteristics".

By the way, you can recall the first incarnation of the Model X, with no side mirrors — they replaced the camera. But this design is not missed regulatory authorities, despite lobbying by Tesla.

Over the past few years Musk often spoke of his aversion to cars with poor design. Here can be seen that Model 3 will have a distinctive design, but pleasant enough to not scare off potential buyers. In the end, it's going to be a car for the mass market.

Tesla promised to demonstrate a prototype of the Model 3 in the first quarter of 2016, so the wait is long.published
