Up Close HD video of Model 3

Crap, now I'm going to have to keep my eyes open.

In this video, the RC definitely appears to have tinted windows.

It's even more apparent on the rear window.

Here are a couple of stills from the video, tinted RC vs non-tinted S

Would love to see a front view of the white 3

I watched the video twice and did not see a white Model 3, only the black one.

He must be referencing other sightings.

We all assume you never actually saw it plugged in and didn't see what's behind the charging port door?!

Super excited I got to witness and record a Model 3 up close! In a thunderstorm no less... Thought you guys might want to see this. I saw it from the front and up close in person the new front end design looks great IMO. Let me know if you have any questions, there was definitely a puck shaped sensor on back trunk lid and another antenna hanging below the back bumper with some wiring. Chase car was a model S with a lot of pelican cases and gear in back of the model S. Also when my friend and I arrived to the SC which is at the Cincinnati Tesla store, there was an enclosed trailer leaving the lot like he had just dropped them off to charge and then depart on a long term test drive perhaps...

I can only recall Model 3 photos/videos of cars in silver and matte black (the first reveal cars), red (the mockup model), blue, and now black. No white. Maybe I missed it...

The car in this video makes me change my mind a little about the back. This one for some reason looks way better than the release candidates in the other spy shots.

Agree, however, this is a black car, at night, in the rain.

Now I know where I'll be spending the weekend. Camped out at the Buffalo Superchargers.

Think they're storm chasing? Testing bad weather handling?

Perhaps with your phone in video mode running all the time? Don't want to lose a second?

Nice. Thanks for posting. I like that amber look the Tesla glass gets when it rains. X has that same effect.

black really does look nice at night with that trim. Daytime heat in SD though keeps me toward white though, but still....awesome vid and great catch! Thanks for the post. BMW must be worried on their 3 series sales

After they left I kicked myself for not following them for a while... But it was poor conditions for highway driving much less filming while doing so

Awesome work, great video. Let's all be safe out there folks.

Oh yeah it was heavily tinted... Or else I would have tried to film inside. I guess I should have tried one of the door handles

No never saw it plugged in. But since it was parked in a SC stall it seems like it might have been...

Need to start a new YouTube channel since my other channels are for totally non car related stuff. Also... I made a BIG mistake and forgot to film in landscape mode....

Too bad... One of the things we need to know! Thanks for a great video!

@DrivingTheFuture - Great catch, congrats! What it is impression of size of the car in real life? It looks quite massive and mascular on the video! Like it! Any impression of exterior built quality? Know it was a pissing rain, but still ..

They need to get some real miles on these pre-production cars, we will se more and more of them out everyday, exciting!

The build quality in person looks stunning possibly even better than our model X, it also had functioning windows that slid up and down when he briefly opened the door and I saw interior door Pockets built in. After seeing it up close AND from the front which I was too she'll shocked to record fast enough, I can confirm it looks fantastic in person and has an aggressive stance.
