Anyone who chases a car through a parking lot in the pouring rain just to get a picture is biased

I didn't really notice the side mirrors with the other colors, but on the white one they just seem to stand out a bit more. Why, oh why, are we still forced to use side mirrors...

I see a theme here.
These two photos were taken by Motor Trend in the exact same spot from the same spot.
They seem to have kept the same cabin size while shortening the front and rear
True, but notice that the steering wheel is a couple of inches forward on the Model 3 compared to the S. Which matches what Elon has talked about:
Add the additional headroom in the back because it doesn't have a hatch + supporting beam and you'll probably get a much nicer back seat in the Model 3 compared to the S. Which some of the people that had the opportunity to ride in it on the reveal also confirms.

I feel like an uncultured pleb in admitting this, but I really don't care about wheel size. Even with the comparison gif, the difference isn't obvious to me. I don't like hubcaps, but other than that I don't really care.

Yeah, I noticed the steering wheel and driver seat being further forward. That and lack of cluster behind the wheel should give the driver an incredible view of the road ahead.

I'm one of those that think that the 19" wheels looks ok on the Model S. But i have to admit that i'm not so sure about the Model 3. Maybe because it's shorter and look a bit more "chubby" because of that.
But i'd probably go for darker rims on a white car, that makes the 18"s look a LOT better imo:
In fact, i will probably choose dark 18"s for the winter tires no matter what colour i choose and then 20" for the summer tires.

I don't even know what that means.

You can tell 2mm difference in width from a car that is probably 15ft away?

THe guy in the rain stated it was def different.Anybody changing their opinion regarding styling changes to the front based on this picture?
I know its still not totally conclusive but I'm still sticking with my theory that there have been no changes to the front end styling.

I'm not sure how you can say that. The nose is obviously different than in the prototype. The duckface is less tall, pointing upwards less on top and the crease has changed. For me the latest nose shots are final confirmation of this.
Other than that no changes is possible, though jury is still out on some rear details.

Strong TMC meme contender right now. Neck and neck with "Not an advice," imo.
Unfortunately he didn't get any photos though.
I don't see any movement at all in the outline of the car in the side view comparison .gif that someone created. Put your cursor on the tip of the duckbill. It doesn't move.
That being said its hard to make out any surface details on the black cars so not definitive.
I haven't seen anything conclusive enough to make me change my mind yet.
I hoping somebody directly asks the question as to what changed on 6/2. (and that Franz answers)

Not familiar with that one.
I like "you won't care."
Btw that Elon TED interview was awesome. You really get a sense of how big this guy thinks while watching that.

True classic.
I'm listening to the TED talk right now. I can only imagine what it will be like when he has all the money in the world to execute with.

I think you are one of the few still in the "no changes" camp. It is fairly subtle, but seems conclusive to me with all of the photos we have seen.Anybody changing their opinion regarding styling changes to the front based on this picture?
