Not quite true. In countries where a red button is mandated, Tesla has a red button. In the US, it isn't required, so they can have black (or white) buttons to match the interior. It is a really nice design touch, where legal.

Rubbermaid bid won to be the steering wheel contractor.
Looks like an Apple logo on the back of the screen.

Wow it really does! Good catch! That's the first time I noticed that... That could either mean that they simply attached an iPad pro to fool us or debug, or there is a huge supply deal in play with Apple lol... There were those meetings a while back.... (if it is an Apple logo, that is)
That's interesting. The mirror body looks really thick too. The only time I've seen one that thick before, it's had an integrated screen in it (backup camera in that case).
I am really hoping that is not the final steering wheel... PLEASE!!!
I hope you're right, that would tick the 'spaceship' feature off. Being in the middle down low, it wouldn't be used accidentally, and it would allow for a lot of UX flexibility.
Unfortunately though, I doubt it. It would be very smudgy from testing if that's what it was.
As others have noted, it appears that you use the right side stalk to engage EAP. My guess is that, when you are in "D", another push down on the stalk engages EAP. But how does one engage TACC and not EAP? Maybe there is no longer a distinction between them? And how does one set the TACC interval between you and the car ahead?
AND WHAT THE HECK ARE THE TWO SMALL ROUND BALLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL SPOKES? Maybe they are trackballs that control a cursor on the center display? But that seems awkward. I don't think that is what they are for. But they certainly are functional and not just decoration. Very interesting...

I don't see what you are referring to.
I think it is. And it looks good to me. I just want to know what the two recessed round balls are for.
Please don't start silly rumors on the basis of a blurry image.
Used to be a lack of awareness of self driving mode state would cause accidents. People would think the car was driving when it was not.
The light on the rear view mirror might communicate who is driving.
I am bewildered. It seems nobody has commented that the Model 3 has storage pockets on each front door. Does nobody in this thread have a Model S? Has nobody been irritated by that lack in the years of loving the S? X, too, but this has been an S issue for five years!
Three cheers for excellence in design for the Model 3, solving the previously insoluble technical problem! Sunglasses, wallet, mace, keys- so much junk that stuffed the govebox for these S years!

I'm just happy that those cup holders look like they were designed by Americans!! I MIGHT be able to comfortably carry a large iced coffee in there!
We now can officially declare Tesla a mature automobile maker. We're griping about JD Power stuff like cupholders and door pockets. Everything else we seem to be taking for granted.
Looking at the second interior shot I see what was meant by "feels like a spaceship"
When you look through the steering wheel you aren't going to see car, just the road ahead, with the display at the same height as the top of the wheel.

the door pockets were included on the alpha, so think people since seeing it last year have assumed it would have door pockets and so not a revolutionary thing to see now.I am bewildered.

Why would it be any different than the AP stalk in the S/X? In click for CC/TACC another click for Autosteer.
Sure, but they were shown empty in Alpha showing, if I was told correctly. These, though, are stuffed with junk just like in the real world. Isn't that more impressive?
The "balls" on the steering wheel look very similar to the scroll wheels on the Acura MDX. They have a normal scroll wheel, but they also can be rocked left or right as an additional control. Similar to a directional pad I guess, but looks better in my opinion.
