Looks awesome.

Do the front windows not go all the way down?

Do the front windows not go all the way down?

Yes, this was addressed in other posts in this same thread already.

For reference here and here.

?

If it is in reference to Sandman saying “ I guess both front windows being at the same level threw me off.“, both front windows appear stopped at the same position, not all the way down, by the driver for some reason.

You think the driver would have just hit ‘express down‘ on the window switches and been done with it but to each their own, lol.

I always lower my windows the same amount on both sides, sometimes front and back matched, too.

It just feels right.

Inb4 Velcro on top mentioned

But here's an interesting bit of discovered trivia: for the CT's aero covers to match up with the tire design, the tire must be seated on the rim in just the right orientation

otherwise, the aeros will be off and whompus, and you get:

So that this is the same Fremont beta seen e.g., in Musk's tweet from Austin, Franz at Peterson, the Cyber Roundup, Lithium refinery event, etc., can be sorted not only by the velcro and several tell-tail scrapes and dings to the trim (see eg the fender in photo above), but also: the rear driver's side aero cover, which is always askew the exact same few degrees, while the 3 others are always aligned.

so these aero covers attach in only certain step-wise orientations relative to the wheel, such that the aero cover spokes can only orient to the wheel in defined steps.

but since the wheel can take the tire in all orientations, the tire pattern and aero pattern will be off unless the tire gets oriented on the wheel just so.

here's the same Fremont beta's rear driver's wheel from the events mentioned above (other than Lithium refinery, where they were removed.)

Idk about CT aeros. But with 3 and Y, the aeros can be put on however. They just pop on and off. The rims don't dictate at all really

look again - they clip onto the spokes

and the spokes are in a step-wise pattern around the rim

which with the M3/Y makes no difference because their *tire* wall is uniform in design

the CT is different in that the *tires themselves* have their sidewalls designed to match up with the design in the aero covers

so it’s the CT’s tire pattern that must be correctly rotated/aligned to the rim spokes when installed on the rim (or else the aero covers, once snapped onto the rim, won’t match up to the tire pattern)

I’m guessing only a Tesla servicecenter will have the understanding or patience for that come time to change tires

Huh, I guess I never noticed when I had my 3.

My Y doesn't have the aero caps.

Fair play

Overall looks much better to me than previous builds. Everything is a matter of degree and it appears some fit finish issues seen on previous prototypes have been minimized or improved.

As for the frunk, I think it would look better if the vertical gaps were equal top to bottom instead of like they are now, but at least they seem to be consistent on both sides, and it looks pretty decent from directly in front.

Still, I'd like better alignment on that particular gap. It may require frunk adjustments or tweak of the frunk angle between whats over the fender versus the part that's in front of the fender, or even the fender front edge itself.

The license plate says 'MANUFACTURER' under TEXAS, but I'd like to see a TEXAS TRUCK license plate :

this is the same Fremont Beta you’ve been seeing in TX (and Petersen) for months

Thought it was one made at GFTX. Why the Texas Manufacturer plates then? Oh well, they might've done some tweaking or else the footage just makes it look different. I'm sure we'll get to see more though.

that’s what the original poster on Twitter said, but is wrong

Why the Texas Manufacturer plates then?

Manufacturer' plates are unrelated to where the vehicle was built. They are run on vehicles owned by the manufacturer and driven on public roads for testing purposes. It or some major component of the vehicle is not for sale to the public but is being 'field tested' by the manufacturer.

So, unrelated to it being a beta or RC

Looks like we were ? - ?rolled then!

Looks all put together and tight!

I only noticed this panel gap that needs adjustment:

Wow that’s not right.
