They are still trying to hide the HUD.

LOL. I was just expressing a curiosity. If I saw a rare care parked without the driver in it, I would be taking more than one outside picture. Coincidentally (or not?
) , did you notice that shortly after my post, this post appeared? Silver Model 3 (sub 30 VIN) at the Factory - more along the line of a Tesla fan coming across one (though I would have snapped a photo of the AP cameras). Notice that the car was parked at a charger but not plugged in, almost like someone parked it there in a rush just to take the pictures? Now, who would have access to such a car and want to do that? Gotta go put my tin foil hat back on...

HUD would have just made too much sense in this car. While I've gotten over it I'm still a bit disappointed. And to make matters worse Trevor got insider information that the aftermarket ones won't work in the Model 3 :/
What do you mean?
If you're talking about the larger shadow, that's because the car is illuminated from the right. It doesn't necessarily mean a larger panel gap. It could, but I wouldn't assume so from this shot.

The best part of those pictures of a production car is that I now know for certain that I won't have a two beer job to remove the front license plate bracket like I did for my 2016 S. For those of you who don't know, the S brackets had been attached from the factory with bizarre fasteners and some sticky gunk.
Pretty sure that's not just a shadow, looking at the other pics. It's noticeable in every photo the LF is in. Definitely something a little off.

I'll agree that that one looks like a panel gap, the photo is much clearer there

Back in the RC days I might have been inclined to take pictures of the inside, but why would I poke in somebody's car. now? We have tons of detailed pictures of the interior, so I don't really see the point. All the interiors are exactly the same.
I also saw that particular Model 3 up close a few days ago (not going to say where, so don't bother asking). It is gorgeous. Looked very closely -- through the windshield -- at the dash vent. There are closely spaced (1/4" approx) small silver slats present. They appear to be fixed. The air direction controls are apparently behind those slats.

Nice shots.
Though you can also clearly see some fit and finish issues on the left front corner of the hood.
That is an atrocious fit/finish. I know I'd be pretty peeved if I waited 2.5 years for my car and it was delivered looking like that. Almost looks like it was in a fender bender... because the panel is bent.

That is clearly a shadow since you cannot see it in the other side of the car, right?
Dropped off the X at Fremont SC and saw four of these beauties next door going through validation. Too shy to run inside to get better pics.

Man, I love that front-end look. I'm so glad they stuck with it.
