I predict options will be: - leather 2.5k - sunroof 1.5k - autopilot convenience features (Elon only said autopilot safety features are standard -- which is also true on the Model S) $2.5k - some sort of upgraded interior / auto lift gate $3k - upgraded audio $2k - larger battery $10k - awd vs rwd $5k That just about doubles the base price for fully loaded...

I'd seriously consider one of these, but
1) Does the rear seat fold so I can put a bike in the back? 2) I wouldn't be able to charge it in Manhattan. At least not yet anyway. |

The front end is hideous. I'm assuming it's still a work in progress.

This video is helpful; gives a good view of the rear glass and (at 3:24) the trunk opening. It's not a hatch, but Musk said something about a surfboard fitting, so I assume the seats fold. |

Front end is a deal breaker for me.

Wow, the rear door opening looks really small. Everyone getting in and out of that thing looks like they're struggling a bit.
The front end isn't a dealbreaker for me. The whole car is pretty bland looking, but I'll take that over something overwrought like all the new Toyotas / Lexuses any day. |

Rear door opening looks to be better than the Model S, which is really hard to get out of...

I hope that glass roof is really well tinted, otherwise the rear seat passengers are going to bake. |

The lack of a hatch is disappointing

Compared to the side windows, which were not tinted at the factory -- I immediately felt heat through them the first few days I had the car. Then I had a tint applied that has strong UV protection -- and the side windows are now very similar to the roof...
