Pictures of production Model 3s

No ludicrous mode on the model 3 , I read somewhere, but you're right, all those cryptic indicators of engine power, level of luxury, etc are very much from the stone age.

What?

There will be a ludicrous mode on the model 3 next year.

 

[Rudolf]

Good to know. I had better put some extra money aside for it, then.

Tesla was sued, or maybe just sent a cease-and-desist order, by a shoe maker, Adidas, if I recall correctly so they had to eliminate the horizontal lines as the model designation. It is officially the "Model 3" just like they show on their web site.

Ford killed the E, and Adidas killed the substitute; so now it is just the 3.

I can't wait to get my Ford Adidas car.

Ford plans to introduce all-electric Model E with 200-mile range in spring 2019

You did see that that article is a year old right? And how much more information has Ford released on it?

 

[TEG]

Just showing that they wanted the " E " for marketing / PR reasons at least.

I wonder if they were planing to announce an " E " before Tesla tried to, or if this is some sort of shot back across the Tesla bow?

... or if this is some sort of shot back across the Tesla bow?

Probably yes

It's just that I had been looking forward to getting a car with the stylized Chinese character for the number 3 ( 三 ) on it ...

Don't worry, it will probably been offered by some third party before you get your car delivered

It's just that I had been looking forward to getting a car with the stylized Chinese character for the number 3 ( 三 ) on it, but I agree that only the Tesla logo, without model information, tends to make the car look more prestigious. I can live with that.

It was, of course, rather cheeky of Elon Musk to take the letter E as used in the trademark «TESLA» and try to get it registered with the description of a stylized number 3 after having lost against Ford with the trademark application for «Model E»

It's not a Chinese character. Tesla uses a font called "Emblem D," and it's not owned by Tesla.

Here's the font you refer to: http://davidocchino.com/portfolio/typography/emblem-font-art/emblem_d-serif_bold.png

The lines are slightly different than the Chinese character. Rudolf had them the Chinese way on his post, so it depends how the lines are drawn if it's the Emblem D or the Chinese character. Since it's never happening, we'll never know.

Here is when I first found that font:

Is there an album of photos of the production Model 3 on this forum or elsewhere on the web? Just photos, no posts.

Here you go:
Mark Reasoner's Model 3 photo album on Google Photos.

Production, release candidates, alphas, renders, events, etc. The most complete collection I've come across.

@BluestarE3 that is the most glorious link I have ever seen! Thank you kindly.

@BluestarE3 that is the most glorious link I have ever seen! Thank you kindly.

Isn't it? Beware though - since I discovered it 2 weeks ago, I check it at least 5 times a day!

First dirty production model 3! Still looks great. Saw this outside the factory. Vin says car # 114. I tried to give them a chance but those rims look even worse in person IMO. Not a fan. Maybe it looks better on the black or midnight silver car.

"Dirty"...

Se this RC testing sub-zero package/AWD? in NZ.

Touché. That's dirty. Should've said first dirty "production" car

But this is a thread about production units, so your video is inadmissible.

The thread tile covers that for you.

They look okay on the silver. Hopefully they are just covers and we will be able to change them.

Hmmm. You really call that dirty? Maybe I'd support "not clean", but my car gets a bit worse than that before I call it dirty!
