Very clean looks also: 215 Miles Range with 0-60 in 6secs, Seats 5 will have autodrive tech all for $35,000 Deliveries begin end of 2017 (Hopefully) This is truly a mass market full electric car. We may be seeing something on the lines of the iPhone - a category busting product.

Pretty solid specs for the base model. I'm very interested to see how much those numbers go up (or down, in the case of 0-60) as the options are revealed.

Felt the presentation ended half way. Wanted him to show the inside of the car and all the features.

Caught the glimpse the new horizontal screen, but no details on that in the presentation or on the side....

Wonder if they are not ready with all those yet. Or maybe I am used to Apple keynotes

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!

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.

The car looks comparable to a Honda CRZ or a Toyota Prius (or a Subaru BRZ). They should have gone with the small-sedan form factor, but I think they believe it will cannibalize Model S sales.

Bolt? That's a car for girls(at least by design). Collecting emails is a good marketing tactic and they won't load the servers with everyone.

> Bolt? That's a car for girls(at least by design). I totally get that you don't like the Bolt's design, and that's perfectly fine. But, seriously, it is 2016 can we put the "that is for girls" "that is for guys" nonsense to bed? It is sexist against both genders. The whole implication is that "girly = bad" which is sexist, and then you have guys who are going to be emasculated if they enjoy a "girly" thing which is…

Lol :)

What's with this non-sense rant? Where did you get that girly=bad?

Sexist? I don't even bother...

I'm free to share my opinion, or not? Simply, it's a car I would buy for my daughter, not me. This is not the case for Tesla designs.

He is always like this. I think his words are generally quite precise and economical even if his delivery seems all over the place. I like it. It seems genuine. And I tend to drift off when things are too smooth and scripted.

He might have some sort of speech impediment and it would be a shit of a world if he were judged on that instead of his achievements.
