I'm seeing more of this - wife and I are going Red precisely because of this front-on look!

I cannot wait to see the Model 3 in person. It is one of those few cars that seems to look good in every color. I'm currently torn between the red and black but also considering the midnight silver.
Have those B-pillar card reader-looking things always been there on Model S? Looks the same as Model 3.
I'm looking through facelifted Ss and not seeing that. It also doesn't appear to be on the dark S all the way to the left, although that might just be poor camera resolution.
That's not the reader, it's the AP2 camera, so only cars build since last October have them. The reader is below that and isn't really anything you can see.
Boy, those gaps are terrible!-)
As a Norwegian I can confirm that this is an correct translation.
(Nuuu could be interpret as nooow if the poster is an old school conservative, but no old school conservative would use more then one "u"
Our Regan-time conservative prime minister was famous for for saying "Nu" instead of "Nå" - both means "Now")

Red Model 3 testing in Greenville, South Carolina - manufacturer plates and pucks on front/rear ends • r/teslamotors
I believe this is the same car with the supposed larger wheels and air suspension that was posted the other day. Fender gap definitely looks smaller, the wheel offsets look further pushed out and tire sidewalls look just bit smaller.

Sorry to be Mr. Dense but I'm wondering what "RC" means.
I googled it and it means, restricted to Tesla terms, "release candidate."
So what does that mean? Is it a "test car"? A crash car? What is it? Sorry to post in the wrong place-- I'd be pleased to be directed.
And how about those stupid serial numbers-- why not assign number one to the first car, and number 2 to the second --- the first 30 "production" cars (now wondering what that means) would not be 1 through 30, fur sure.

"Release candidate" is a term borrowed from software development:
Software release life cycle - Wikipedia
Given Tesla's Silicon Valley roots, it's not surprising they're using the same terms to refer to their test vehicles at various stages of development.

Thanks. So an RC car is not the same car as "production" car.
So, like, a beta version?

Arguably the RCs are alphas and the early production run are the betas.

If you look at the link I posted, you will note that Release Candidate follows Beta in the development life cycle. Tesla earlier announced that they were so confident in the progress they were making with the Model 3 that they were skipping the beta phase. Model 3 is now in the Production phase.
