Prototype cars routinely have such abort buttons, even if they've had no autonomous features. I believe it has more to do with their general road certification than anything autonomous.

The Model 3 looks gorgeous in that shot. It might just be the angle, but I don't think I've ever seen it look so good.
another wheel design
Besides the wheel design, which might change in the coming weeks, the shape of the car strongly resembles another luxury sedan:
I have a problem now ... I used to poo poo panamera design, now I will have to like it 
I have a problem now ... I used to poo poo panamera design, now I will have to like it
Wouldn't that be somewhat hypocritical?
Just join the bandwagon Elon is heading: Model 3 will be a bit crap. Buy a Model S - at least it looks better than a Porsche Panamera!

I really like the new Panamera, one of the best looking sedans around, but not the last generation one, because hunchback. I even like it a bit more than the 3, but only because it's longer, which helps the overall proportions.

Elon, please ramp up Semi production!

Actually, it was Porsche who copied the Model 3 to make their Panamera.
I know, the Porsche came out years ago, but maybe they had a time machine or something.

I do too. I approve Tesla ripping of Aston Martin and Porsche for their designs. I hope the model Y continues the tradition.

Another reason to purchase a Model S now or a Model 3 later ... More Marketing BS

Got to love the quarterly games Tesla plays...
April 16th + two weeks to cover all the confirmation periods... means getting Q2 deliverable orders in during April and then two months to deliver them...
Yes, yes. Tesla does not do discounts. It does future-timed price increases for the same effect.

no need to be sour tbh, by the time RHD comes out in UK/Aus i'm sure we'll get dual motors to start with. So the wait should be the same. Unless you want RWD only...

Not a big fan unless the center cap piece that's not there currently somehow makes it look nice. But I'm not forking out extra money for freaking wheels so if that's it then I'll live with it.

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.
Could be the hud.

I have seen that big red button in Model S' testing autopilot hardware a while back: Autopilot testing hardware spotted at Grants Pass SC
