The Model 3 exterior looks good. The interior looks a bit bazaar to me, but that was just a prototype. Can't imagine a 15" monitor making it into production.
There are a lot of hidden costs in electric cars, from mining the ores to making the electricity to disposing of the batteries. Lot of argument about their "greenness". That said, it'd be cool to have one... Still need more infrastructure work, but Tesla has an amazing number of quick charge stations given it is essentially self-funding their installation, one company, with a proprietary plug. And their performance is also pretty amazing.

It is in the announcement press:How did you see the interior? I've only seen the exterior. That said, I'm pretty sure this will be my next car.

So, a giant flat screen instead of knobs, buttons and switches. I prefer the interior of my old 1971 911T. Simple, basic, clean and open layout with no center ridge between driver and passenger to take up space. I would find that screen quite distracting, both visually and physically, especially in traffic. I'm sure that there are plenty of cup holders though, which my old Porsche surely lacked.
I do like the exterior of the Model 3 very much. And the performance figures extremely impressive. Imagine the rabbit starts as the traffic light turns green. Fun but pretty scary in congested downtowns.

Peter, I'm with you. The interior of your Porsche looks like a car...the interior of the new Tesla 3 books like a computer game...or something from the comic books. ( which is ok, but it doesn't make me think of a car; if you now what I mean).

Different strokes for different people I guess... Final products may have a slightly different interior with a smaller screen. I am thinking aloud here, wouldn't care if it were to remain at that size
Another view of the interior with vertical screen. to me it is as car as the Porsche 911 Targa (?) and with much better performance. Nostalgia et all: Some of us lament the old cars and I try to understand the feeling but they are outclassed/outperformed in most ways by modern and sometimes pedestrian cars

All you have to do us take a Tesla out on a test drive. All the convincing I needed. We are lucky to have a showroom a handful of miles from here.
You can always buy a Volt. No lines there.Not sure why as consumers we should be happy about that. I like to walk in and buy their cars and not hear them gloating about how they have such long waiting times and how much money they can stand to make. That is for them, not for us.
Hope Nissan and others go after the market strongly and we get more choices like we have in phones with iPhone and Android. Consumers are never served well with a single supplier.
Who said Elon Musk isn't a revolutionary when it comes to vision?
It makes me wonder what the folks in Detroit have been doing all this time and what they are thinking now. This seems to add a significant new choice for the consumer. Just saw your comment about the Volt. That is rather funny.
