Truly impressive. I wonder if the Model 3 will also be fitted out with all the sensors and cameras. If yes, I'll definitely get one.

As a German citizen, it really bugs me that Volkswagen is incapable of this kind of innovation. I don't see their roadmap play out like they plan it, because Tesla might beat them to market hard. I fear German regulation will jump in (again) to help them against Tesla.

Currently, the German government gives out electric vehicle subsidies (~5k per car), but it is limited cars less expensive than 60k. At the moment there is very low demand for this subsidy, because everyone who goes EV wants to go Tesla.

Is this video sped up to make it seem like the car is more capable? It seems jumpy, and, for the speed at which the car is going and comes to a stop, there is not as much lurching as I would expect.

I think it's sped up because driving is boring to watch.

Yes model 3 will have the hardware. You'll have to pay extra to enable the software though.

They stated that the Model 3 will have the hardware in their announcement about it.

So, lets be clear then, you do not truly own the car. Am reminded of ebook and movie purchases - you're only just licensing the item. You own next to nothing.

Just because you can't mod the car's software?

It doesn't take much thought to realize what a terrible idea it would be to let people tinker with a telsa's self driving software.
