Not convinced that's a 3. Looks like a slightly refreshed S (w/ slightly different front end)

The nose looks lower, right? Headlights look different I think.

Pretty sure it's just the x with a black front. If you scale the picture horizontally to make the people not appear wider than normal, and color the front end the same as the body, it looks like this

Remember, Musk said it won't look like other cars on the road. Not a "weirdmobile" for the sake of being weird, but different for functionality purposes.

The front end looks like a mix of the S's nose cone, with the rest of the X font end (headlights are flat on the bottom, X foglights, and "bump up" in the bottom of the bumper. Also, I don't see a rear door handle. I think it has the X's adjacent door handles.

Like this one with maybe a foot removed from before the rear doors. The aero wheel covers are interesting in that they show the outline of the tires so you do not loose the look of a "normal" car. The short overhangs are more feasible on a full electric like what GM has done on the Bolt.

I like this one better, still not enough glass at the back but I like those wheel covers

That picture was from backstage at the Model X reveal back in September. Probably was a beta unit that was used for press and others to look at before the presentation. The nose cone was rumored to just be a decal like in other spy photos at the time.

Definitely nothing to do with Model 3.

I suck at Photoshop, but I would adjust the windows for the backseat passengers a bit. Here's my adjusted impression (done in Paint.Net )

That is the pretend new Leaf
Well the one they announced with all sorts of concept autonomy that can't see production for years, but it did have a Leaf form factor battery.

Except Tesla would actually launch it looking like that instead of blanding it down for production.

It does sorta look like Toothless. I just copied the Model X front end and angled it down slightly.

Personally I kind of like those rim covers... I feel like that won't actually happen though.

 

[MassModel3]

Unless the rim covers turn with the wheels, I don't see how that's feasible.

The black part isn't hollow showing the tires, it's black trim on the wheelcover. I've seen concept cars designed like this. I think people just want to see the wheel shape even with the wheels covered. Just like people would not have accepted the Model X nose when the S was unveiled. Now that people have accepted Tesla and understand the grill isn't needed, they've warmed up to the idea of no grill at all.
