An "oldie" in Menlo Park (vin 26). Not the best lighting, but a damn good looking car I'd say.

This car has the 18" wheels in bright silver with the aero covers removed. The rim color matches the chrome trim. THIS IS AN OUTSTANDING LOOK!
I agree, but wonder if they are going to support that in production.
It could be that in Europe they take the wheel cover color toward bright, as a cultural accommodation. This would support the bright base wheel color...
It's an old RC car. They had silver wheels under aero covers.

My money is still on a massive trunk light. But your idea is cooler. ;-)

Has anyone noticed that all of the Model 3s have horrible parallel parking? There's a huge gap between the curb!

I'm very happy to know they have a "Tesla Cap" that fits that hole. How does one get it?
supposedly you just remove the existing cap from the aero covers. hopefully someone can confirm that.

Aha! The store where I reserved has one to look at ... I should definitely make a trip there soon. According to Reddit, the Seaside Store, Service Center, SuperCharger and Lounge (Monterey County, California) store manager owns this and has kindly displayed it.
Panel gaps aren't enough, now we have curb gaps.

Probably an access panel to get to the center brake light.

Surte .... that is how I will park so as to not scuff the rims that project out beyond the tire.
In our area the curb is a "curb and gutter" for storm drainage. The "gutter is more steeply sloped towards the "curb." Consequently, if you park close enough to the "curb" that a wheel is on the "gutter," the cars slopes so much the passenger door cannot be opened without hitting the "curb" and grass beyond.
The "gutter" then extends across intersections so that there is a real dip going from a main street to a secondary street. My Prius has bottomed out numerous times in intersections, and necessitates that I really slow down when making a turn.
I haven't read much about Tesla's ground clearance, so hopefully that will no longer be a problem.
According to another thread in another forum by an actual owner that hole appears to be a possible vent to help equalize trunk and cabin temperatures.
