In the pics too, it has frameless glass windows - it just gets better and better...
Been reading about quite a few of them tonight. The Tesla 3 whumps the lot for performance and probably tech level (interesting use of heat pump heater in LR model). But I'm really curious about the Mazda's approach: smaller battery, smaller motor, less footprint in terms of energy used to make it, slower speed - but quicker time to charge/realistic time to charge even from wall overnight, less overall weight. This all reads simply as "it's got way less for expensive price!" but they might have a point, tailoring it to be sufficient for what many people do, most of the time. What does everyone think? Kypez?
From my snow example in the other thread - if I keep the battle-proven Territory for those days, and zoom around my commuting and surfing locally in a MX30 electric (charging it from my solar which is more feasible as it's capacity is less), I get to have the best of both worlds, no?

It's cute and quirky but I couldn't part with $80 k for this car.
The model 3 is small enough but big enough as well around town. The LR and Performance cars are almost identical with only the "tune" separating them (think Miami engines).
I loved my taking my Everest to the snow till I took the model 3 (didn't take the S because it is RWD) and the joy of getting into a heated car and heated seats ready to go was fantastic. Haven't tried the Terri but the Everest took forever to start heating the cabin!
Have you had a chance to drive a model 3 yet? They feel smaller and nippy. Don't let the weight on paper play into your thoughts.
The MX30 does have the fact it's an SUV going for it. Suicide does also get annoying when you want to just drop someone off and you have to remove your seatbelt and open your door first. Small issue but used to annoy me all the same.
