Still surprises me with the two types of handles. Love the rims on the gunmetal model.

Yeah me too, was kind of confused at first, but looks like it's what they were able to put together for the event. Those rims rock!

Slashgear test ride:

I hope we can get a non-panoramic roof. It'd get really cold when it gets down to -35 degrees here.

The two different door handles may be manual vs. automatic (X-style?).

Manual doors vs auto presenting doors?

 

[favo]

Yeah. I hope somebody gets some video of both types of handles in action. Tesla may not have decided which one(s) they will use.

A fight is brewing ... I can just tell.
My wife is set on red, while I think the grey-blue looks stupendous.

And NO, I am not going to buy two.

Future note to self: Avoid rock chips in windshield

Looks great (and I'll order one), except don't know about that one-piece glass roof - shade might be problematical - maybe eventually electrically adjustable tint would be pretty amazing, and my windscreen just got cracked from road debris last week, a cheap $2-300 fix on most cars - I'd imagine it'd be at least a $1,000 replacement on the M3. And the dash with the floating screen definitely has to change, and I'm sure it will - a straight line across doesn't cut it and reminds me of the original roadster dash - feels v amateurish, like a school project, and v electric car-ish in not a good way..

Really doubt this. They wouldn't have two different door stampings just for door handle options. I'm sure they're still deciding which one to use.

Bjorn got a short ride about 12 minutes into his Facebook page video. Showed the curved handles in use.

I said to use 1 screen and remove the dashboard and they did it!

Need to see it in white to compare it properly with X and S.

My guess : The gray is an earlier concept, and the others are more current/recent prototypes?

I think they are a bit further along than I expected, with so many working prototypes already.

Both types were in the demo rides

The cars looks very great ! But the interior is so so ugly ! Looks like a prius, especially the horrible steering wheel ! Am i the only one ?

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe the winter package will have something to cover the inside of the glass.

 

[Johan31]

Omg this is ugly :

Cannot stop remind me this :
