Pictures of production Model 3s

Aero wheels are efficient and easy to clean, i'm gonna love them.

And if the covers anything like my Prius', they'll be stolen in 2 weeks.

Took one more pic picking up the car this morning. Saw another one at the factory parking lot on my way out. Winter is coming (for ICE).

OMG the aero wheels are hideous. I hope Tesla axes them.

I think the aero wheels only look good on lightly colored cars where the dark gray color contrasts.

Aero wheels look good to me on white and red cars. On black, blue, and gray cars they don't look quite right. Undecided on silver.

Hopefully Tesla can come up with some alternative color styles. The "spokes" on the aero wheels being dark contributes to the monotone/monolithic look.

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 :/

How? The obd isn't functional?

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.

Red with the aeros looks dope.

I think they look the best on black. It's the only reason I'm not too upset about black being my color because I refuse to pay for paint.

Something to that effect, yes. Check out his Model 3 Owners Club video and go to the 21:27 mark, Trevor talks about it in great detail

Correction, winter is here!

Nice to see they are moving along, thanks for the pics!

As an electric car there isn't much mandated for OBD port with its primary purpose being emissions testing. Model S for example has very little information available from OBD. You have to get to the diagnostic connectors elsewhere to get to the CAN-buses with cool information. Model 3 may have the same issue and possibly not have speed information available there, or "fuel level" , or whatever else the aftermarket HUD is expecting.

Does anyone think/know if that "Day/Night" display mode and Dimming on the LCD is 'Automatic' ( i.e. With a photosensitive eye) or is it something we have to manually toggle and adjust every time we get in the car. Meaning getting in and its daylight or getting in at night.

Also what is the "Screen Clean Mode"?

Until we get some towing/hitch information looks like my road bike will fit with the 60/40 drop down just like Elon said! YESSS

Screen Clean mode allows you to put up a blank screen without active controls so you can clean the LCD without accidentally toggling stuff.

As for the dimming... on the S there's a auto-dim feature... so I'd suspect so.

It senses ambient lighting conditions and as @scaesare mentioned screen clean mode disables the screen temporarily.

Displays:
Manually control the brightness and the Day (light background) or Night (dark background) setting of the touchscreen and instrument panel. When set to Auto, the brightness changes automatically between day and night brightness based on ambient lighting conditions. When Auto-adjust is checked, the displays are further adjusted based on both the surroundings and by learning your preferences (i.e. it remembers the type of manual adjustments you make). To disable the touchscreen momentarily for cleaning purposes, touch Clean Mode

From Model S owners manual... likely the exact same behavior in Model 3

The frunk is certainly a lot larger than in the reveal event last year. That's good.

Where does the spare tire live? That round area to the left looks like it might hold something.

[favo]

Model S/X don't have a spare tire, so unlikely that Model 3 will. Too much weight. Instead they have a tire inflator/patch kit.

 

[israndy]

Does that show the Autopilot is set to be *1* car length behind when driving with the adaptive cruise control? Or is that just a multiplier of a dynamic distance based on speed, like 1 car stopping distance, cause 1 car length would scare the pants off me unless following a semi that cannot stop as fast as the Tesla.

I'm torn on this.

On the one hand, run-flats suck.

On the other hand, tire inflator/slime kits also suck and run-flats have improved a lot over the last 5 years.
