Earlier quoted context omitted.

Maybe, but I am coming to believe more and more that battling climate change will require a fundamental reexamination of core principles, up to and including privacy. I am aware that this is an unpopular opinion.

What does this have to do with climate change?

I assume that the value of metrics acquired can help a lot when determining efficiency in driving habits.

Pretty smart looking car. Doesn't ape the Model S' look too much, clearly looks a little more compact, and the roofline makes it look both roomy and a little space-agey. From the front it almost has a Porsche Panamera look going on... Nice looking car. I wish Tesla good luck, though I don't think they'll need it.

Yeah, I was thinking Panamera.

I was hoping he was referring to something other than the snacks that were served to the people camping overnight outside stores to order the Model 3 with this tweet: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/715566236822671360

"Incredibly inspired by the interest in Model 3. You won't be disappointed. Also, small token of appreciation coming for those who lined up."

I love Tesla the company and respect the hell out of Elon. But his presentation style is hard to watch - he is literally stammering through what feels like a dry script. I've never seen him live before is this par for the course or nerves? Edit - wow that is a better looking car than I expected. You can be as awkward serving as you like if that's the main course!

That's actually just the way he talks according to every interview/presentation/video I've seen of him, albeit maybe with some added nerves.

EDIT: Found a live stream on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FLSxJjdnLU Also, I made a reservation at the Fremont factory today. Took around 15 mins including line, but I went in around 10:30-11am. I'd estimate there were around 600 people before me in the morning. Fairly certain they will hit 100k before the stream starts.

He announced 115,000 reservations before the stream began. That's $115m spent on a product no one had seen. Crazy.

He does seem like a pretty genuine guy. Just a big kid living out his childhood fantasies.
