Yes, but try that with two kids in tow, or bags of groceries, or whatever. Also, if you are in a sketchy parking garage, you want to be aware of your surroundings, not focused on your phone, presuming you even have a cell signal. The car setting has to be something you set and leave static, and if it's static, it needs to be in the "safety first" setting (driver only).

Yes, double click once opens driver's door; a second double click will open all with the fob. If you are out of the car the fob is nice, when I'm parked and in the driver's seat and my passenger approaches their door and if my hands are on the wheel already, I find the stalk is closer and easy to use. If you're already doing something on the screen like changing music or such, then the icon is just a reach further. Nice to have the choice I guess.

Hey did they add "pouches" to the back of the front seats for rear passengers' use? With the coat hooks, lit vanity mirror, side pockets they really geared the car to the average joe user out there. While I initially missed them in our MS I've come to like the clean uncluttered look a lot. Didn't think I would.

Ok perfect. For the Model S, my wife would be happy.
Now, for the Model 3, how's this going to work? No fob (at least not one with buttons)...
If anyone happens to get within tackling distance of an Model 3 owner, could you ask?

I think the driver's side interior open the door button could be used as a master unlock/lock button. If the driver's side door is open, pressing that button once would unlock all doors that were still locked, a second press would lock all doors, third press would re-unlock, etc. If the driver's side door is closed, the button is just a regular open the door button. I assume the car locks all doors automatically, if you shift into D or R.
I love this picture, because it really lets me envision what my backseat will look like after my 5 year old is in it for 10 seconds...
But seriously, I kinda like all the dirt and dust on the interior, it reminds me tha tit's a REAL CAR, and not just an electric Californian unicorn I see on the internet. February-April can't come quick enough!!!!
Thanks @355rockit !
Every time I see that charging port size I think, "What did they make it so big for?"
Wonder if they're going to be putting a CCS combo there for European models. Or whether it's designed with next-gen connectors in mind, to be replaced as needed. Normally Tesla doesn't make things like that any bigger than they need to. Compare, M3:

Pretty significant alteration, no? There has to be a reason for it.
Yes, but it only lasts for an hour. Also, I don't see what you're talking about.

On the picture with the back seat. Imagine sitting in that seat behind the driver. Now, where the back of your left knee would be, look to see that stitching that curves in on the top of the seat. There's a hump there that the other side doesn't have.
10% gain is substantial. The concern now is whether the stated range from Tesla includes the aero wheels. Upgrading to the 19" wheels could make range 198 or 279 depending on the battery you choose, which sounds less impressive missing the 200 and 300 mile marks

The owner said that he has some younger kids which is why back seat area needs some cleaning.
