Model 3 in the Solar City announcement tonight

[JeffK]

This has to be the best look at the interior to date. No drooping mirrors, door handles, etc.

It's still a pre-production model ... notice no autopilot 2 hardware. With regards to "the best look at the interior" people actually filmed from inside the [pre-production] car at launch.

Looks like they were trying to prevent the interior pictures

Hard to tell on my phone, but I don't think I saw the AP2 hardware cameras in the side Tesla badge.

I was wondering if that Model 3 (from last night) was still the prototype from before. The computer panel/screen was still protruding from the dash. I'm not so sure I like that setup.

prototype.. obviously from the lack of ap2 hardware and the old steering wheel.

Its the original prototype that people got test drives in at Reveal 1. Right?

except for the yellow lights on the front.

Yes, they were white in the reveal but they are LEDs so we don't know if they can change between yellow and white.

Looks time like the same car that was at the Model 3 reveal last Mark.

 

[gregd]

I don't suppose anyone had the presence of mind to pace off the car's external dimensions?

 

[jgillispie]

If everything was the same as the reveal I wonder why they were so aggressive in getting people away from it?

People will start saying all sorts of things and starting rumors if they didn't understand it was a prototype. In addition, a crowd gathering around the vehicle when the event is for the solar roof and powerwall 2.

Even recently we've seen how a rumor can dramatically affect stock price.

I wonder why they were shooing people away from the M3?

What's wrong with the M3 being more interesting than a solar roof?

If you look at the taillights as well I believe the 'yellow' is just picked up by the camera, not the naked eye. LED lights don't photograph well, especially with flash.

Hmmm... I wonder why they did that. I wonder why they put those yellow lights on there.

for turn signals...

Parking lights? Turn signals usually, you know, blink.

Either/both can be yellow... point was the color is yellow and not white. Making LEDs blink is trivial.
