i hate the new look. everything in this car got worse and like you said the back look was the best part of the car. now it looks normal. also the lcd isn't of looking sleek and slim and thin, is fat. everything looks worse including the front.

Liking this more and more. Looks pretty awesome.another wheel design
To me it looks like they smoothed out the lines that the prototype had. IMO it makes it look less agressive. I don't like that but maybe the masses do.

I'm so glad they didn't change the headlights. The daytime running lights are one of the coolest parts of the 3, in my opinion. They're so different from most of the ones you see on cars nowadays. The thing just looks mean. Love the headlights with the blue color, and the turn signal light is pretty cool too, goes well with the blue.
With all the back and forth over the interior and single screen, I was starting to forget how psyched I am by the sexiness of the exterior.
Take my money already Elon!!

I normally just lurk around here but I keep seeing people saying the nose changed.
I don't think much has changed at all. Definitely not enough to say "I MISS THE OLD NOSE". I've been in both camps (nose changed vs hasn't changed) and keep changing my mind. Some colors the nose looks different, other colors the nose looks the same. I think it's the combination of reflections, color, and the camera. Not going to judge much until the official event.
LOVE that headlight design from the blue prototype above. The day running lights look fantastic too, very Model X like.

I highly doubt there are three cars.
ugh, I hope those aren't the base model wheels. Otherwise I'm gonna have to shell out for a wheel upgrade. Of course, I'm finicky and probably have terrible taste in wheels (I didn't like the original Model S base wheels either).another wheel design
Yeah I really liked the styling on the alphas because they looked more sporty/aggressive... this is looking more like a Corolla/Fusion/Accord with each smoothed line
The nose has definitely been smoothed out - notice there isn't that crease line underneath the headlights anymore - this has been confirmed in the blue RC pics (turn down the contrast and increase the brilliance/highlights and you'll see what I mean). It's really unfortunate because it makes the front end look more plain.

I'm surprised no one has noticed and commented on this before, but what's that orange and silver-striped conical device on the right side of the car in front of the B-pillar? Some kind of control pod? I'm 100% positive this must be the spaceship controls promised by Elon! If this release candidate is any indication, Tesla may be building the spaceship controls for the RHD markets first. Now, I'm pissed and jealous. Elon lied when he said U.S. West Coast will have first dibs. If we don't also get the the spaceship controls here in the States at launch, I'm going to have to think seriously about canceling my reservation.

No. Those cones are part of the Tesla Calibration system. High tech precision markers. Full self driving confirmed.
In all seriousness, the big red abort button hints to impressive improvements from the current state. Autonomous enough that they had to stay in compliance with california's self driving car laws.

Whoa. Did anyone mention/notice the white markings above the tire in both photos?

I think I prefer the original nose to the potentially slightly less dramatic one on the release candidates. I didn't mind the original once I got used to it. And at certain angles I loved it; it looked boss.

I noticed it. Didn't mention it because I thought it looked out of place in that interior. I really wanted something like the Figured Ash Decor, too. But that just didn't do it for me. I'll have to wait for better quality photos,
