In the vicinity of California where Tesla's development base is located, it seems that scenes where Model 3 is mixed with other cars and traveling on expressway etc. are being witnessed one after another. The following picture shows Silver model 3 taken at the Interstate Route 280 expressway connecting San Francisco and San Jose.


This is the state of Model 3 that seems to be running on the general road. There is a tendency to test camouflage, camouflaging camouflaging is not carried out, the goodness of the rabbit that run tests in a state that seems to be as it is designed to be commercially available. Compared with the same sedan type "Model S", the feeling that the trunk space is shrunk and the front and rear lengths are shorter is transmitted.


Here is a model 3 movie that Instagram users shot in Cincinnati, Ohio. In the heavy rain, it was said that it was charging with the rapid charging facility "supercharger", but because I noticed the photographer, model 3 ran slowly and went out of the parking lot. It is a movie that can understand the difference of the car with the model S strangely chasing after it.

Sighted a @tes lamotors # model 3 during a late night supercharger stop in Cincinnati. Did not think I'm getting to see this car in person at least 6 mos or more ... a rare treat! Geeked out and finally started recording but when I went to walk around the front of the vehicle they drove off.
