Yes. What am I looking for?

I suppose an employee has given their car to a vendor to get

Its a wrap.

Man....I would never have anyone with a utility blade touch my car. I can only imagine the blade cuts on the paint if the wrap was ever removed. I know some of the blade cuts were on the panel gaps, but there were other areas he had to cut around.

Always have your wrapper use knifeless tape.

No blades.

Found the Unplugged Performance that electrek reported on this morning. It's in Effingham, IL. Didn't stick around to find the driver.

I wonder how they got that car since they are based in Hawthorne California.

It may have started in Hawthorne, and is on a road trip.

Unplugged seems to have a close relationship with Tesla in part because they are located in the same complex with Space-X and the Tesla design studio.

That rear seat vent on the back of the center console looks odd to me. Is that really the finished product? Or was some part of the vents removed?

There should be a mini display allowing to control the rear vents (temperature, fan speed, flow direction)
similar to the high tech air control flow on the front central display!

Thank you for this. As a RHD reservation holder, I have a long wait yet, but nothing you say puts me off, and it clears up a couple of concerns. Great post.

To give a last feedback about this topic: when I drove home today I explicitly looked at how I was able to see the instruments in my car, both while driving along straight roads as well as while turning. When driving along a straight road, my view was exactly like in the aforementioned marketing picture. When going around various bends and I had to turn the wheel about a fifth of the way, there was no obstruction either. Wenn turning into a side road, a.k.a. when making a 90 degree turn, the wheel did obstruct part of the intruments, but I had to take my eyes off the road in order to even notice. Which felt very unnatural, as I noticed that I never usually look at the instruments while turning.
Of course, if I had my hands on top of the wheel, had fallen asleep or drove while standing on my head, like others seem to frequently do, I might have had difficulties in getting an unobstructed view of the instruments. But I don't, so I didn't
End of story.

Give up.

The rear vents are conventional ones. The flow direction is controlled by the vent tilt and louvers. There is probably just on/off and possibly temperature control "buttons" on the main control screen.

Remember this is a 35k base car. No way.

Typical situation when you pick up a rental car at an airport after a long flight journey.
Sometime you cannot even find how to start the windshield wiper, back window defroster,
or setting your itinerary on the map display.... while on your way finding the next access to the freeway!
