Tesla is not doing things like most other car makers. They use the actual year a car is manufactured - for its model year. They have improved / fixed things as needed; not waiting for the "next model year".

It is unlikely that they will make wholesale changes - making a design change for the sake of change - is exactly what they WON'T do.

I hope that other car makers will follow the principles that Tesla has. Aerodynamics should drive the design - not stylists.

Who will build a car as efficient as the EV1? We need better cars; not just different ones.
