Some E xciting developments coming 18/19
All good news. The interesting points for me are that none of them are pushing the tech boundaries beyond what Tesla have already set for several years. Secondly the Chinese manufacturers look set to start seriously challenging the European mainstream. Finally I wonder what the next generation Teslas will look like? Will they be able to move the goalposts again or will it be mainly a cosmetic change. There hasn't been much chatter about future S and X models with all the attention on Model 3 production. But their design team should be well on with it by now.
I would have thought that one area they need to address, apart from the ability to actually build them, is the way they deliver the power. Porsche have made a big point of stating and supposedly demonstrating that their performance is repeatable and not just a one-off party trick.Peteski wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 9:42 am All good news.

Interesting video. Thanks for sharing. Tons of competition for Tesla.
I too liked the look of the Audi Sportback.

The Audi blows all Teslas to dust in the looks department, its a stunner.
So why would anyone buy a Model 3 (which looks like a Ford Focus to me) when there are so many great looking EVs coming?

Really? I know it was mostly marketing fluff, but I felt that each one of these had at least one thing that exceeds a Tesla offering.
OK, I don't like Tesla (company, cars) much and have an open mind to Chinese powered and built vehicles, so am probably more likely to see it

Power delivery is awesome in a Tesla. Ultra smooth and totally consistent. It's actually one of, if not the most compelling selling points of the car! Not sure what Porsche are talking about to be honest? Can you enlighten me?Dandock wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 5:42 pmI would have thought that one area they need to address, apart from the ability to actually build them, is the way they deliver the power.

Like what? I saw an awful lot of marketing fluff and none of the basic drivetrain specs looked any better than what Tesla are offering today, especially at the performance end of the range. I don't have any brand preference at all, I just happen to like the current Tesla EVs and there is currently no other alternative I could be driving right now. When I'm next due to change car I'll consider everything on the market at that point. But these "concept" offerings don't seem to be moving forward much from what I'm driving now. But lets wait and see.goron59 wrote: ↑Fri May 11, 2018 7:28 amReally? I know it was mostly marketing fluff, but I felt that each one of these had at least one thing that exceeds a Tesla offering.
