That is absolutely gorgeous except that the seams are really interesting. Maybe because its a RC.

I think they are actually the silver alpha style wheels - just a really crappy low-res pix. first when I saw it I was thinking they were standard Model S wheels...Shut the front door - those are the same wheels as the first red "pretend" car
I'm loving that.
I have a new favorite color now though
here's a blowup outlining the swoops

They are Tesla seams. Tesla isn't really a company know for its exact seams.
Great video and pics, thanks for sharing guys and Nor-Cal Dashcam!

I don't think the seams on the M3 are any worse than other cars, for example the seam around Audi TT's, around the hood:They are Tesla seams. Tesla isn't really a company know for its exact seams.

I'm sure we can find poor specimens amongst any maker (and especially old cars with unknown histories). However, I would Tesla has a recent history of poor seams and alignments, while German premiums (Audi included) has a recent history of massive attention to detail when it comes to seams and alignments. The Germans really put a lot of effort into that.
The problem with Tesla is that many aligment issues are systematic. E.g. the mislined chrome trim on Classic Model S is near legendary (my P85 had it too) and Model X seam issues are dime a dozen... Is it possible Model 3 will be better in this regard? Of course. But just saying the history is there. Expecting things automatically to be better is probably not the wisest approach.

Having watched this latest video I must confess the white is beginning to grow on me. I once had the idea of getting the white as a basis for a full wrap, before switching to my favorites silver and blue, but this has me thinking again.

I was thinking because the SUV to the right had been bouncing between being centered and right on the line and the Model 3 driver was probably just being overly cautious passing him... just a guess

It's only going to be the alpha prototypes in JuneModel 3 out in the wild! Love it! Can't wait to hear what's going to happen in early June when people get sneak peak of the final product before their public launch in July.

You've got hidden insight on this? I thought they were going to be showing people the RC's?

not hidden insight... someone posted a picture of the email and it said specifically alpha vehicles

That's unfortunate. So I guess no one will see anything final till July. All good things come to those who wait...
