The more I look at this the more I think it is a painted over prototype. The back looks just like the prototype. I'm hoping that all the other spy shot photos were just bad angles and this one is a good angle because the back of the car looks sexy again!
DrivingTheFuture - do you think that the Model 3 you saw had the body of a repainted prototype? I completely agree with you that the one in your video has an aggressive stance. To me the lines (at least from the rear) look identical to and give the same aggressive stance as the prototypes at the original unveiling. I had been surprised at all the release candidates videos and still shots up to this point that the aggressive stance seemed to have been changed until your video.

unrelated, but I like those wheels. Unlikely, but would like it if those came standrard.
I think these ARE the standard wheels since they definitely appear to be the smaller of the 2 types of wheels we've seen so far.
I never quite understood why most stock/standard wheels are ugly. Inexpensively cast aluminum wheels can look good too.

I agree. They very well might be the base 18" wheels. Hope they have a carbon fiber center cap like the 20" on the silver alpha. I love the 20's on the silver alpha and the blue RC. Have to wait and see on pricing.

arrggg comon guys. it's not that hard. One guy at the back. One guy at the front of the car. It's not like Tesla employees are gonna run you over. :> :>
Yeah I think it was the newest iteration, it was simply the first time shots of it had been taken up close while it was sitting still. I liked the one recent sighting of it where the person was right by the road and it passed right by them, it looks better closer up... Of course I could be wrong but I feel I would have noticed because I saw the front end up close as well... Sorry I couldn't grab video of it
My friend who was with me was a Tesla employee so I was following his lead and held back from being obnoxious

I wonder if this has to do with Ohio's friendliness toward autonomous vehicles...
Well the way the cars are built I'm afraid if you have the larger battery and P you might get the larger wheels
Simplified build ? Fewer varieties?
I'm with you though I'll take reasonable wheels/tires same size not a stagger setup
I like to rotate and get some mileage out of the treads. And I don't want to be dodging every pothole
As we all know very well angles and reflections can easily mislead but it does appear the 3 might be "a tad higher than the S".
