In my driver's license pic I look goofy, but in person, I look drop dead gorgeous!
Likely no VIN shots, they took that pic behind a fence, looks like the loading area for trucks for new cars. Excited to see new batch of 3s going out!

All colours that I have sean on Model 3 exists on Model S and X to so yes, you can go down to a tesla store if you want to see the colours in the real. Of corse it's not sertanly they will have cars in all colours in at the same time if it's not a service center but maybe you can see a few.Is it possible to go down to a Tesla store and see other Tesla's with the same paint to get a good visual? I assume the model 3's colors aren't all unique to just the 3.
While I agree with this assertion, you can't claim photo distortion here because of the Model S next to it. It's not perfect, but it is a great reference point for comparison and the Model S is attractive and proportionate in this image. Even the Model X looks good because the greenhouse is proportionate to its hood. Model 3 looks like a clown car from the front because it's so narrow and tall and stubby. Go-cart maybe, but not sporty and attractive. Almost looks a bit like a VW Bug with its aggressively sloping hood line and panel shape.Bull.
Photo distorts proportions due to lenses used.
It's the only picture I've ever seen of the 3, and we've literally seen 100s from all angles, where the proportions look odd. Given that, I'll go with the fact that the 3 remains a damn good looking car. One picture will not change my mind when the others look so good.
I'm even liking the 18" wheels with the aero covers off. On the white car, it looks very nice.
But the one you refer to is an optical illusion caused by the loss of depth due to the camera lens combined with the lack of traditional depth cues we would use to interpret it correctly due to the all glass roof. If you were actually looking at the car instead of a single picture, the wonders of stereoscopic vision and context cues from a dynamic image would instantly prove your assessment wrong.
