Speaking of dogs, you are Pavlov'ing me. Every time I see a comment by you I am now conditioned to dislike it.

Hey there! I'm with you on hatchbacks being more practical than trunks. But check this picture out:
That trunk lid opens scaringly HUGE. Just like a hatch, the trunk lid won't be in the way. There's also a board at the bottom of that trunk that you can remove to carry taller things. And notice how the opening let's you carry things in and drop them inside the trunk, as opposed to having to push them inside the trunk too much.
All in all, I'm ok with this trunk/hatch hybrid (ewww I said 'hybrid').
Regards,
JR
PS: 73! Couldn't find your callsign on any lookup book. F1=France?
Confirmed. It's big.
(If you've ever seen that episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm you know that that "small" hand gesture actually means "big".)

Here is a picture of drag ramps on the back seats of an ML320. They are removable. And guarantee a smooth transition if you are sliding a bicycle rear wheel on the floor past the step (discontinuity) where the folded seat back ends (when the seat is folded down).
All you would need to do is stitch rod into the corner of the seat cover to act as a pivot.
(It might not be needed [or even help] as the pedal may act as a pivot to lift the rear wheel over the step).
I spent way too long trying to figure out what "YAWA WOT" means :Þ Need coffee...
Anyone see the recent red Model 3 on the link @BluestarE3 posted on page 25? Curious if anyone can confirm/deny that these are indeed the aero wheels sans covers. Might sway some people's decision on them.

here's a better pic of the non-aero 18s that appear to be powder coated + center cap. looks really good

If this is what's underneath the aeros then I might go for the aeros....
Those look way better than they did on the RCs.
They are growing on me slowly, still prefer the sport at the moment. Do we think they are like this stock underneath? The center cap is the same color so I assume this might be stock. That would also explain why we no longer see the silver showing around the sides of the aero cover.

I prefer these. On the one hand we have the sports, on the other hand, I roll with these and am holding $1,500. I like how $1,500 feel in my hands.
I like the finish they put on those wheels !
Has anyone confirmed that the Aeros are indeed covers that can be removed to show those wheels underneath?
I am tempted to run without covers for my in town commute, and then put the covers on if I am doing a long distance highway road trip.

Short of actually seeing pictures/video of showing the covers being removed, I think this confirms that this is what the wheels look like without the covers, which a lot of us already suspected.

Also, this is SF: he will get his window smashed with that fancy water bottle in plain sight there. Hide all the things, or leave nothing behind!
We cannot have a shiny new 3 get violated!
Am on my way, I'll keep watch. I'll do it for free! Will he/she let me drive it?
Ah yes, the edge showing through... Seems like 90% confirmation that they are indeed covers (even though someone on a Facebook group swore they were solid wheels not covers. )
And the configurator site we saw only had 18" or 19" wheel options, not two types of 18"

Maybe, much like the white interior, they have employees testing out future options that the lucky few cannot see in the configurator today.
