Look like the same place used for the CXT video - are they planning an offroad 3 wheeler?

After a half mile on that dirt road, the luggage and interior will be so filthy it will take a day to clean it. I live on a dirt road and the dust in the cockpit, under the boot id and on the rest of the car is unbelievable.

Going up a dirt track with gravel in the middle is bad news for a pebble trapped in the belt.
As I found out with my M3W…

I live on 3 miles of steep mountain dirt track before reaching "proper" roads (they too tend to be dusty) so constantly live with mud, stones and inches of dust. Have never experienced a stone in the belt have had one on the head from a passing off roader. I installed a plastic trailer mudguard that encompasses the tyre and goes all the way down at the rear to level with the bottom of the bodywork (that is the secret), that made a huge difference in the amount of dirt and dust thrown up. I then sealed the rear compartment, bonnet and cabin bulkheads using 1/2 and 1 inch water pipe foam insulating strips, this has significantly reduced the amount of dust that gets in. Now I just have to seal the drivers head from the dirt

I think he would be taking a huge risk to spec it without seeing one in the flesh. The 3 cars at the launch had various colours/option and comparing the details the hypothetical spec I came up with had a few differences to what I would have thought.

Just a thought, I wonder if the side storage pods mounts are to house removable battery packs in the future?

One thing I noted early on in the launch, the hardpoint brackets do not seem to be mounted in a standard direction. I would think that you would want the mount opening to be towards the front of the car, so that as you attach any accessory, it slides to the rear, and air resitance is your friend. If the opening is put to the rear, any item without a tightened braket might slide back. Maybe they will figure that out later.
