Pictures of production Model 3s

It's made from recycled storm trooper uniforms.

Which explains why it's a little short on one side.

It looks like a matte finish, so probably not a glare. But, it certainly looks bright-white, so it will likely be fairly distracting being right in front of your face.

Even if it won't cause glare, it'll still cause a very distracting reflection. It's not whether it's matte or shiny, it's the color. Anything lighter than black shows up noticeably as a reflection in certain light conditions. It's one of the weird things I notice a lot.

I definitely see this on my X and S, but it's usually the section of the dash that's closest to the windshield. I can't say for certain, but it's possible this section of the dash is far enough back that it'll reflect off of a section of the glass that's more above our heads and not as much in the line of sight.

Really. There's nothing we can see from pictures to tell us there is or isn't glare or reflection. Let's see what's reported from owners. I GUARANTEE if there's glare or reflection there will be at least several chicken little threads about it.

I'd use plastidip because it is reversible.

Is that true when painted on wood too? I know it is supposed to come off car paint, but so is everything else.

I would be worried about spraying anything on the wood because it is 'open pore' wood. That means the plasti dip can get into the pores and would be next to impossible to get out.

This wasn't a good shot?

Certainly easy to see that the dashboard strip is white!

I like the white dashboard strip! I would choose it over the wood option.

I think I'd do a wrap for the same reason.

Talked to some of the employees, seems like the cars slowly trickling out. Few of them are awaiting delivery "soon".

The rear end looked a bit Model X-like in some photos, but in person, not really in my opinion.

Maybe I should have attached some pictures when I made my "trickling out" comment.

That's good to hear. I was gonna say, the rear 3/4 shots make it look like a less useful shape version of the Model X. Kind of like the BMW X6. Ugly and less useful.

I saw one RC and to me the 3/4 angle made it look like an X.

So much so a couple weeks ago i saw an X thinking it was a 3 lol and raced to it only to find disappointment.

Ah, some pictures in a picture thread.... thank you!

I was driving though Seaside during my lunch today and saw this model 3 parked outside. Turns out it belongs to the manager there and he’s having it on display. I was able to sit in it and check it out. It was really cool in person. They said they’re getting a car in October for actual test drives. He left shortly after I was there to go to lunch himself so didn’t get a lot of pictures.

Enjoy

If Autopilot is not enabled, perhaps it could be added later without the extra charge for waiting. But only offered at the 'configure' price for a short time.

It is enabled, but all new cars have to go through a calibration period, which I presumed is tied to certain number of miles. I believe this is why it is being misconstrued as not being enabled. There was a video weeks ago of autopilot demonstration someone did on the highway.
