it would really be a nice looking Vibe replacement!



I saw this rendering on Jalopnik as a possible version of the Tesla Model 3. I would be interested if it were true.

Hmmmmm .... Does look sharp Bet it would costs 3x to 4x of what a new Vibe costs back in the day Time will tell.

It will come with a shocking price!

We bought a Volt yesterday to replace my wife's New Beetle. That Tesla will likely replace the Volt down the road.

One please.

This is the ~$35k Telsa, no? If they can offer it for that, it's really not bad at all for what it is. Very good that the old plant was able to get a new lease on life.

I'm also intrigued by the Chevrolet Bolt, 200 mile range for $30k. IMHO, the more offerings we can get like these and at a price point more people can afford can only be a good thing.

Tesla Model X, dual-motor AWD, 'Falcon Wing' rear doors, estimated availability early 2016.

And estimated prices are AFTER the current $7,500 Federal Tax Credit on plug-in vehicles, so the Chevy Bolt is likely a $40,000 car equipped with a few options, and the Tesla Model X is likely at least $45,000 or more with options. And there's no absolute guarantee the tax credit will remain in place at that level. And if these are wildly successful, the tax credit diminishes with total sales US exceeding 200,000 vehicles, and eventually disappears entirely.

Current low oil and gas prices do nothing to improve the miles/years to pay back the cost difference picture, but if you are determined to 'go green' you can probably afford the initial cost to "go green", and fuel savings payback period isn't a significant factor in a purchase decision.

The tech behind the Tesla cars is amazing and it probably change the face of motoring, but for the prices they ask for thier cars the styling is very bland to me. The tesla S has a terrible looking dashboard. For a car where the price is close to 100K....in my opinion there are much better looking cars in that range.

Although I like what Saleen did to one : http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/a1 ... -17199099/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
