True - but if we had an instrument cluster or HUD that center screen could have been integrated lower. Then the center screen is just displaying optional info not critical stuff that has to be close to eye level.

It's hard to tell size from pictures, but is seems much larger to me. Tesla never officially confirmed that the Model 3 will use the same connector as S/X, did they? And Elon has hinted at a SuperCharger 3.0, which may require a different connector. There could be several possibilities, and they could be different based on region. Things such as an augmented Tesla connector, similar to how CCS augments either J1772 or Mennekes for DCFC. Or in Europe, where Tesla already uses a Mennekees, maybe it simply is a CCS connector. Or a new connector altogether. Or no change from S/X connector. Definitely wild speculation on my part at this point.It looks fairly straightforward to me. Here is what it looks like finished:
but this earlier picture of an RC had same flap in black, and it looks like it can flip open the way it does now. I'm not sure I see the problem.
Indeed it does look much larger.
Future Model S and X could get that too by enlargening their ports to encompass the whole side of the tail light assembly.
There's a thread for this speculation:
Speculation - New charging plug?
It's not an X. This is the side view of the same car, which was also posted in this thread.
Note the hockey stick doorhandles.
Note the lack of the FWD.

...err? Did you quote my message by mistake?
I/we were talking about the bigger charge port door on Model 3 mules. Incidentally on that white one as well...
I agree the claims that the Model 3 mule is Model X are mad, but not unprecedented. With Model X mules some people were convinced it was smaller and was showing Model 3/Y instead. Mistakes happen to all, but some also do not have a very "trained" eye for this.
A bit like some people saying Model 3 nose has not changed...

I was not a fan of the pop down cup holders, so I'm glad to see they've changed that. I also hope there are more traditional physical buttons on the steering wheel like the S and X, and not just those two ball things like the latest Alpha viewings. Something like a dedicated volume and Tune/preset button.
Give these a read:

But this is a $35K car that "feels like a space ship." If everything was added that people want of this forum, you no longer have a $35K electric car, it would be much more and you might as well purchase an S.
I am fine with the minimalist interior with an electric car that gets 200+ miles at this price point. Some of the reservation holders will cancel because of the interior and wait several years for an offering from one of the foreign competitors for the price equal to an X.
No, I just misread your post. Apologies. Fixed....err? Did you quote my message by mistake?

Looks like wood is in. It's going to be beautiful with a lighter dash instead of the black.

Assume we're going to have multiple options here such as unvarnished wood or open pore wood like in the BMW i3, glossy wood, Carbon fibre. Maybe the early reservation holders will get an extra option such as a different weave carbon fibre or something. That would be fairly easy to add to cars without the line being disrupted and would cost a lot but would be a neat reward for people who queued up.

I wouldn't get your hopes up, Elon said minimal options. That is the only way to meet a $35K price point and also meet production goals.

Well I think it is obvious we are talking in the context of the same general design. Of course if you have a cluster then things can change significantly, but that's a completely different design (screen might make more sense to be landscape and essentially you end up with a mini Model S/X).

Some folks say $35K to $70K.
If $70K turns into reality....there had be some "non minimal" options involved.

Just looking at the interior.
It would really be cool to be able to remove that center screen. Lets go truly minimal. I mean....absolutely nothing.

It'll be $35k to $65k, with a $5k bonus option that gets an SC stall named after you.
