Came across this pic from a shameless SeekingAlpha article in which the author bashes Electrek (the origin of this picture) for not reporting that the red Model 3 was in fact "hollow".
Anyone who saw the reveal or has watched Trevor's and my YouTube Show, knows that the red M3 was a "mule" (that's what we call it). A non-drivable and mostly non-functioning prototype. They probably used this for wind tunnel testing or just to show off the design.
It was on stage at the March 31st reveal and we knew it was a "mule" because the wheels where chocked and no one drove it on stage - like they did for the silver and matte black.
Anyway, there is a big deal being made about this photo and knowledge that the red M3 is non-functioning and I just wanted to state it really does not matter. Tesla has at least 2 functioning/drivable units (silver and matte black) and maybe more out there for more testing and refining.
Just thought I'd post it up here before others make a bigger deal out of nothing. My 2 cents anyway.
Btw, the red is a gorgeous colour and I really hope it is a colour choice!
