Surprising that they're having the event so late! It'll be 11pm ET when all is said and done!

"Most cars are pretty Blah. This is not." Elon Musk

Seriously? If the best Musk can say about his own car is that it is not "Blah", I can't really get enthused about it. And he is not really known for his understatements. On the other hand, he may have learned from Fisker and is trying to moderate expectations.

Wow - how underwhelming!!! It just looks like a bloated Model S.

C'mon guys!

I agree it looks just like the model S but I like the model S. It's ok but I like big SUVs like the escalade or Range not the smaller SUVs that are popular now.

Huh. Aside from the gull-wing doors, it looks ... boring. The gull-wing doors are interesting, but look somehow wrong to me, too.

(I don't really mind "boring" in a car-as-appliance, but I think electric cars need to look exciting for a while yet, so that they become desirable, before they become mainstream and boring.)

The rear is horrendous. The front is boring, but tolerable. Too bad, as I was really considering plunking down a deposit.
