You're listing a lot of features of a $70,000 car as if that has any bearing on a future $35,000 car.
Only this one may not be available... esp 3rd row
•Innovative features like the door handles, use phone as key,
third row seating, frunk, etc...
- No dealer hassle
I'll give you this one.
Better technology on the console. How does the navigator work on GM? Horrid on a leaf.
- Not sure why you expect a 17" touchscreen on the III, or them to port the entire, current 17" interface to their III instead of leaving that as a differentiating factor between the models for less work. Google doesn't let you use maps for free. AT&T doesn't give you data for free. Those are the thing that go when cost matters. And I like the navigation on my Leaf.
Less expensive to maintain. Much is under warranty for a Tesla.
- Luxury cars always have great warranties. And Model Ses have so far proven far from reliable. Leafs are rock solid.
Have better luck with a tesla to upgrade the battery pack. 400 mile Tesla?
- I'll give you this one too, since they at least have announced the possibility of upgrading one pack.
Faster charging
- I suppose. But no CHAdeMO support. There's already way more CHAdeMO stations than there are superchargers.
Innovative features like the door handles, use phone as key, third row seating, frunk, etc...
- Not gonna happen.
Expect Tesla to have more interior space
- Who knows.
Expect Tesla to have higher performance
- Who knows.
People seem to think that Tesla's plan for 2017 is to sell the Model S for $35,000. It's not going to work out that way.
