My guess for the caps is:
  • windshield washer fluid
  • brake fluid
  • coolant (for the batteries and possibly the electric motor)
The panel to the left appears to be a 12V power port and frunk lamp.

I really hate that I’ll have to put a front license plate on this.

Also, who do they have caring for these? Right side tires are clean and passenger side looks like they rubbed the curb all the way around.

Preproduction vehicles take a lot of abuse from curious hands-on people and also their designated drivers. The interior, dash, and phone mount is already starting to look a bit worn. Some lucky bystanders actually got to sit inside.

You can also be sure that all those caps under the hood will be properly labelled on production units.

Is it just me or does that thing not look great unwrapped?
Gray is my favorite color so I personally love it. I think we all should wait until we see it in person to pass judgement.

I will say, one thing I don’t like about it is the hood is just flat. I think if it had some contours it would look better
