Now that we've settled the panel gaps, we can talk about HUD again!
Can't believe I haven't seen that photo yet. That blue looks stunning.The same reason with seams at the front (left and right to the lights), they are offset somewhat:
This is a beautiful chair. But it is not a car. The side panel on a car should not look like this (beautiful) chair.

Finally found the picture of how this design issue may be resolved:
IMO, it is not the best solution, but it is a solution.
A friend of mine says she saw a red Model 3 on Hwy 237 (San Jose, CA) yesterday. It was likely this car. And yes, she knows Teslas and knows what a 3 looks like, she was very clear that it was not an S. I quizzed her.

Hwy 237 would be the link between factory and palo alto- maybe I should just stake out there.
just noticed - there are no latches or strikers on those doors

Consider the alternatives, it could be worse, GULLWING DOORS!Held in place magnetically?

What?
It's obvious, anyone can see it, why can't you.
Hang on, let me draw some yellow lines on it for you.
Oh, sorry. This isn't that thread any more is it?
In that case I can't see it either......
Actually, seriously now (I know, I try to limit that) the guy with the google page has a whole collection of those renders in that series that really show all of the shut lines and moulding lines. They are about 3/4 the way down, search for "3D Computer Renderings"Consider the alternatives, it could be worse, GULLWING DOORS!

ok, thats not annoying at all, you can't search for the section titles, but its really there, honest
Those are just to indicate what gear you are in, there will be an actually physical shifter to actually change gears.

First, it's not important while actually driving and second, they aren't that small. If anything I'd say they are larger than anything you are used to.
The current gear is probably the size of an adult fingernail at arm's length.
Even if you couldn't recognize the letters they are in the order P R N D with the current gear being pretty obvious
(in park obviously)
If you can't read text the size of your fingernail at arm's length then you might consider an eye exam.

I'm also assuming that when its in R you get the extra hint with the rear camera view and trajectoryFirst, it's not important while actually driving and second, they aren't that small. If anything I'd say they are larger than anything you are used to.

For what it's worth, a few weeks ago I saw a red Tesla with manufactures plates driving around Larkin@Chestnut in San Francsico. It didn't immediately catch my attention (a red 3 is the last thing I'd expect to see), and when I noticed the plates I also saw it was badged as well (looked like 75D), which only confused me more. I was on foot and couldn't catch up as I started to process what may have been in front of me. It would have made a very strange testing location, given the nearby tourist attraction of Lombard Street.
I'm sure everyone on here already knows this but I figured it's worth mentioning since these sightings are pretty fleeting and the spotters might be flustered when it happens. I think the quickest and easiest ways to differentiate a Model 3 from an S or X are the following:
Rear View - No chrome strip on the trunk lid just above the license plate.
Side View - Door handles are shaped like a hockey stick.
Front View - The Duck Bill, no 'stache or nose cone.
Hope this helps any of you lucky enough to spot one in the wild.
