Almost certainly a case of mistaken identity. I would only believe that if there were geo-tagged photos.

Found it: Model 3 RC sightings
Giving it more attention this time, it looks like it's the alpha car, loading in to a container. So could be manually operated and not indicative of the release car.

I think we will see manual folding on the production otherwise some of these RCs would have had them folded in at some point while parked if automatic. That's kind of dissapointing but you can't have it all I suppose.

It looks like such a little car, hope the Model Y will have some cabin space for real sized people
I didn't see it mentioned yet, but these are two different cars with different interior trim. One seems more basic with piano black center cup holder and no alcantara on the door. The other has wood on part of the cup holder and alcantara on the door. Looks good. The type of stitching on the matte interior material comes off as very Lexus to me.
Interior space not much smaller than S. it will be big for its class. it will fit real sized people. May be a problem for very tall or obese people.

I'm actually 5'9" and 160 lbs., so the hysteria over me getting my caffeine fix can probably be toned down a few notches.

It might not be powered, but it could be on a springed hinge.
My Audi has a trunk button on the driver's side door. The hinge is on a spring and opens hands-free if you use the door switch.

Machine learning is exponential and not linear.
The new baseline is now the "silky smooth" update. As more and more HW2 cars hit the roads and learn, there will be an ever-improving baseline.
The huge leap in HW2 learning is coming in the next 3-6 months, as Model 3 ramps up and more and more of them are on the roads.

The prototype (alpha) I saw had a sweet aluminum backing to the screen and a Tesla logo etched on it. I was thinking that I would love a Tesla laptop! It does look like a Macbook Pro from outside... but with a Tesla logo on it. Hopefully they keep that nice aluminum look and don't change it to black plastic for production. It was actually one of my favorite features of the car.

Ok. None of that changes my thinking.
I don't believe full autonomy is anywhere close. I don't believe Tesla hits whatever target musk has thrown out there. I'm not sure they can pull off coast to coast this year, though 95% of the driving being on highways certainly helps.

Yeah, looks like heated seats ... see the wavy lines
Or ventilated.
Don't all cars without automatic side mirrors have manual (non-powered) side mirrors? While they are rarely used, they do come in handy sometimes when pulling into tight spots or if there's a near collision, it allows them to flip forwards or backwards and prevents them from being broken off. I know before I got my Tesla, I had to manually flip the side mirror on my 20 year old CR-V in order to get the large trash bin between my car and the center pole in the garage. Without the ability to manually flip the mirrors in or out, I would've had to back the car out of the garage to take out the trash.

Well, it's a good thing your thinking isn't the determination of success in this endeavor.
