Model 3 RC sightings

[JeffK]

Body alignment is very BAD :-(... Other RC candidates seemed to be of a better quality. Different gaps sizes, the front bumper/front left body panel alignment is a disaster. Looks like it has a minor dent also, maybe that's why...

You mean the non-production stamped body panels on hand built RCs... shocking.

I like it. The Model 3 is obviously a pretty car. A little top heavy, for sure, but it is a pretty car IMO.

This image makes me feel even more strongly it's too bad they didn't make it a hatchback. (Runs for cover.)

A comparison of the alpha and the latest RC. Slightly different angles.

I hope they are using that Cobra in front of the silver Model 3 as a benchmark!

The overall shape of the Model 3 looks very good. The trunk opening doesn't look changed though. And the chrome trim around the windows has poor alignment.

The silver on Alpha prototypes was beautiful. The silver on RC is dull grey I will go for red then I guess.

Don't discount the fact that the RC shots so far seem to be taken under dull, grey overcast skies.

Or that the alpha was taken by professionals using real cameras, not phones.

I'm glad we keep getting rear 3/4 shots.
How about some head on from the front please?

 

[shrspeedblade]

Looking for Model S/X in the same colors will probably go a long way towards showing you exactly what the color will look like in the sheetmetal. I doubt they're going to have a different color variant for the 3. I'm just hoping they expand the palette for all models once it's released, but am assuming they won't.

skitown, I love your profile picture, reminds me of a long, lost friend.

The problem is that by the time someone sees it, says "holy crap it's a 3", and pulls their phone out, it's already on its way past. People just need to be quicker on the draw.

Thanks @shrspeedblade! "Stanley" is a good friend for sure. He's totally ridiculous, but aren't we all?

Need a camera holster...
OK, pardner... "Draw!"
