Thanks for sharing the photos. The new Model 3 looks amazing! We are looking forward to customizing these in Q4 when they really start to take the road by storm. The body lines on this car are absolutely stunning and we can't wait to wrap one in 3M Black Satin Vinyl to make those body lines even more aggressive!
Dont get it the fact that they delivered first to employees and dignitaries is what they said they were going to do like a year ago.
Well, at least so far it looks like much better than Model X launch.they also invited press and referral winnners. so it was very weird to launch when they were not really ready to launch. we gave us so much hope and hype there will be so much revealed!! instead, we're scrapping for any 5 second clip of the car
Yes, I think by the very definition
I think Elon and Tesla would have been skewered for missing yet another deadline had they not done the handover event in July, even though it was openly acknowledged as an "impossible" date. They did and continue to emphasize the S-curve in the projected Model 3 Production Timeline to help set realistic expectations, and to quench thermal runaway of 3 fever by offering the Model S ("anti-selling") as an alternative to those who can't wait for the 3. Doesn't look like their efforts in this regard were entirely successful.
Funny thing is the July deadline was totally self-imposed. Elon had been saying "probably by the end of 2017", then all of a sudden he spit out July 2017 as when the first deliveries would be made.

It seems that truck makes regular local deliveries:

Like to Fremont Blvd. location (just 3min. with green lights) south of the factory. Is that a delivery center?
If so, no need to protect the newly made cars.

Model S: VIN 65513, Model 3: VIN 1913
Beautiful car, horrible parking.
Probably an early VIN given no more temp tags on the windshield.
That was my first thought. Over the line just invites a ding on the door.
I don't park even my 17 year old car is such a way. If I was driving a M3 I would park way out or between columns so no-one could park next to me.

As other pointed out the July event was mainly for employees. As to why it was made a public event, Elon set an impossible deadline and they met it, and they deserve to get the spot light for 1 night while taking delivery of a beautiful car, let everyone else drool over it.

There are easy ways to improve the aero covers, unlike a face.
I still have not see a M3 in person, but this picture confirms, at least in my mind, my objection to the 18 inch wheels and tires.
The wheel appears too wide for the tire. I dislike the fact that the tire "balloon-out" to match the wheel width.
I'm wondering ... perhaps the aero covers are not contributing to greater efficiency as thought?
But perhaps it's the 18" wheel that are more narrow (energy savers) than the 19"?

I personally don't get all the angst over f'ing wheel/tire looks. It does interest me in the same way wine critics or beer snobs talk about the best glass shape. Really do not give a hoot but I'm curious how you such people think. Lots of members apparently actually care.
