Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Apr 3, 2016

@elonmusk out of curiosity does the AWD do torque vectoring when detecting wheel spin?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Apr 3, 2016
torque is shifted between front & rear motors every ~.01 secs. Traction control is way better than a normal AWD. Digital vs analog.

And, of course, it will have more cowbells.

Model 3 will be RWD, with dual motor AWD optional. Even RWD will have great traction on ice due to fast torque response of Tesla drivetrain.

@elonmusk @TeslaMotors how many orders from Italy? Are you going to expand the supercharger network in northern Italy?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Apr 3, 2016
Superchargers and service centers will cover all of Italy later this year

@elonmusk @TeslaMotors I am concerned with the lack of mechanical service in Spain, I hope to be resolved before sales model 3 :)
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Apr 3, 2016
should be addressed this year

@elonmusk Thx for #Model3 ! Why small trunk lid instead of big hatchback like S&X? I ride a bike not a surfboard :)
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Apr 3, 2016
Only way to get enough rear passenger headroom was to move the rear roof cross-car support beam. A bike will still fit no problem.

@elonmusk why did you choose that hideous steering wheel design?:|
Elon Musk

that's not the real steering system

@elonmusk 1.Ferrari like steering wheel 2.Move stick functions(turn signals,horn,etc.) on a paddle shifter behind wheel. That would be cool!
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Apr 3, 2016
Wait until you see the real steering controls and system for the 3. It feels like a spaceship.

Won't happen. Reason initial cars are delivered close to factory is to have rapid turnaround on early issues.

@elonmusk concept at release is perfect from some angles, perhaps needs some beef fwd of windshield

Edge and contour refinement are ongoing. Even .1mm matters.

A Model 3 order gives you priority in your geography, so, even tho total count is high, ordering early will make a big difference locally.
