Pictures of production Model 3s

A twofer to make up for all the non-picture posts I've cluttered this thread with:

9 new Model 3's, headed for delivery

Seems like none of these have been spotted in the wild yet. Maybe they are being held for some reason (EPA certificate?). But maybe they have been shipped somewhere. Most likely place IMO would be SpaceX HQ. Has anyone scanned the SpaceX parking lot for Model 3's?

If anyone is keeping track of Model 3 VIN's, I spotted #'s 13, 16 and 21 in the Fremont parking lot today. Also, one was delivered to the Gigafactory VP the day of the delivery event. Don't know the VIN.

Kind of funny, if you look behind the model 3, you see 2 kids in the frunk of the Model S!

You sure that's not a Model X? It looks quite tall for an S.

 

[Mr X]

I love how the Model S looks too, but the one thing I can't stand is the rear window view from the inside. Seriously you can't see anything. I would have much rather they made the roof line taller so I can get some more visibility.

You are joking right? Model S has perfect rear visibility


My Volt has absolutely horrendous rear visibility. But driving everyday with it I've learned that I don't even need to depend on it at all

Headlights are a dead giveaway. It's a Model X.

So... we have confirmed 24 out of the first 33 VINs. That's pretty strong to say that the first 33 VINs were done. From 34 to 99, we only have the one 75. 100 through 120 is pretty good too, most numbers under 115 accounted for and the highest 1xx I've seen confirmed is 120.

Nothing to prove we are on track for sure, but nothing to disprove it either. Nothing to prove high volume production yet, but my view is that high volume production was never slated for August anyways.

Your definition of perfect apparently is different than mine

Nothing man made is "perfect" you just have a different standard than others.

Not sure how it compares to the Volt, but the Model S has a lot less visibility than my Accord. I do appreciate the fact that in the S you can leave the rear view camera on so if I were to use the S as a daily driver I would just get used to looking at the camera vs. the mirror.

Yes, the key is the rearview camera. I have it on most of the time. Best visibility in any car I've driven!

I've tried it, but don't like driving that way. I'm looking forward to having a large rear window in the 3.

Love this interior shot of the 3.

Love this interior shot of the 3.

It's pretty deceiving photo though. The part over the driver and passenger heads is really only less than 2ft wide (my best estimate). The angle and perspective used makes it look the roof glass is huge and the rear glass is tiny, but we know it is really the opposite.

Yeah I know. But it still an awesome shot.

True, and no matter the distortion of the image, rear visibility in the Model 3 will be better than in either the S or the X, absolutely no doubt about it.

Also, that picture can make Model S owners jealous as well with the b-pillar seat-belt adjust-ability.

Pretty cool video of the glass roof and front of the interior. Looks like the glass roof is pretty reflective.

Spotted VIN#322 with manufacturer plates in Burlington, NC this evening. The first Model 3 I've seen in real life, and I love it! Can't wait for ours to arrive.
