Model 3 RC sightings

[AnxietyRanger]

What was cool was the charge light (not a color ring) is a little "T" tesla logo next to the plug.

Leaving out the charging ring and making room for the CCS connector next to it that has a different charging light when used...?

I wonder who will be the first person to take a selfie in front on a Model 3 in the wild

 

[Candleflame]

I just followed a black model 3 with a new model S chase car south bound hwy 85 near hwy 17 around 2:00pm in San Jose, CA.

The model 3 is really good looking. It looks so much smaller than the S following it. I really like how it looks.

Any indication of acceleration abilities in person?

It is slower than my Ducati 1299S at 70 mph

Seriously I only got to drive next to it at 70 mph for a minute or two. I was late for a meeting.

What? the M3 can't do a throttle wheelie at 70mph? Order cancelled!

Do you have a helmet cam with some footage by chance?

 

[mkspeedr]

Unfortunately not. I was riding my track bike with my track helmet so I didn't have my street helmet with helmet cam.

There was a round low white antenna on the top or the roof. It only had the T for badging. It looked like the passenger had a laptop and it had 4 people in the car. They slowed down and exited the hwy after we exchanged thumbs up. I believe it is standard operating procedure when someone notices the car. I saw an X do something similar when I spotted a preproduction car.

The first one

It's a pyranometer... not sure why we're seeing these on Model S and Model yet.

 

[Knobi]

Found it on twitter.

Well it definitely looks better from the front...the back is meh with the only thing remotely interesting being the windshield/roof combo.

Is that a reflection in the glass roof or a mounting point for a roof rack?

But I'm in the group that thinks almost all cars have too much wheel well gap.

I drive in Maine, looks like barely enough gap to me.

I have never understood, the I-want-my-car-to-look-like-the-shocks-are-gone look. But, around here the tires would be shredded in a day.

Thank you kindly.

Finally....a view of the white Model 3 from the front. ( being trailed by an X I believe ).

Great, Garlan - I don't think we want to imagine how you took that picture
