There was a display inside a glass fence. It has a gigantic wiper!
And it rises from the hood, not under or hidden from the hood.
The red one on stage & runway is missing one.
Hmm...not a fan of that windshield wiper. But will reserve final judgement until after I’ve driven the car and can determine just how much it does nor does not interfere with visibility through the windshield.
Thanks for posting that photo, I hadn’t seen it before. I’m thinking that car may be a non-working mockup.

Right now, the door handles are inside and not outside for the next gen Roadster.
If you look at youtube clips, you'll see that Valet Personnel from outside the Roadster keep reaching inside the car to open the doors (both for drivers and guests.)
There are still more than 3 full years to figure out what to do with them: 2018, 2019, 2020 (December 31st).

In another thread someone said that at the test drives they were reaching to the inside of the door to open them, so the exterior door handles aren’t present yet in the prototypes.
In another thread someone posted a photo of a silver Roadster at the event that was behind a barrier: look, don’t touch. It had a large single windshield wiper. Probably a mockup vehicle, not operational.
Edit: and I see @Tam beat me to it regarding the door handles.

And no side rear view displays inside the car for Roadster driver either.
In the mean time, SemiTruck has video-feed for side rear view displays to 2 separate left and right monitors inside the cab.
I guess, that's why SemiTruck will come out in 2019 and Roadster 1 year after that.
This forum needs to be split. Roadster Classic vs Roadster 2'nd Gen

A bit of let down in looks, could have been a lot more exotic looking considering 250k price tag! They did come up with a truely innovative design for the Semi, I feel like they didn’t do the same justice for the roadster design. Anybody feel the same way?
Not me. I think Franz and his team hit a home run. They didn’t fall into the trap of “This is a supercar so we have to make it look crazy and like nothing else on the road”. They created a clean, functional, balanced, subtle and gorgeous look that incorporates distinctive elements that make it clear it is a Tesla.

If that ends up being on the production carThere was a display inside a glass fence. It has a gigantic wiper!

I’m taking it off.

I'm sure you're speaking in jest, as that would almost certainly de-certify the missile, er, car:
