First drive of a release candidate version of Model 3

Oooo. Looks nice in black!!

 

I wasn't sure if it was the color or lighting, but sure does look like it.

 

glad they didn't make it the same nose as other teslas

 

I think you are right

 

Yeah nose looks tweaked to me, I think it looks great. Looks a little more like an S front in my opinion.

 

Definitely picked up some design features from Porsche . Not a bad thing

 

Definitely can see it has the AP2 turn indicators on the front fenders.

 

Large center screen still seems to be there, from what I can tell.

 

That would be harder to see in the clip.

*edit, or they simply could have turned it off for this clip.

 

I know tesla doesn't have carplay or AA, but definitely upgrade the phone elon. This video looks like footage from a 6 year old phone.

 

kind of hard to see a hud when your not straight on though no?

 

Another of his tweets discussed 'no new consumer tech', see my separate thread with a copy of that; looks like no HUD: No New Consumer Facing Tech in Model 3

 

Nose looks the same but no fog lights.

 

Hrm. I'm worried about that not-in-dash screen. I'm not talking about diagnostic/laptop screen in the passenger seat.

 

Sounds like no HUD if you look at his twitter comments, I guess we shall see but it is not looking like there will be one.

@elonmusk so does this mean no heads up display in Model 3? How will Tesla handle speedometer and Instrument Cluster information?

@arctechinc The more autonomous a car is, the less dash info you need. How often do you look at the instrument panel when being driven in a taxi?

 

I interprete this as no HUD too. He also reiterated only one display in another tweet. I understand the logic about autonomy and lack of need for a but I think the average consumer will need to see what their car is doing to protect them especially in the early days of autonomy.
