Giving the performance specs, they will probably have their eyes closed most of the time anyways....
You stole my line...I scrolled down & you beat me to it!

I was going to put a wife or MIL spin on it though.

Model Y, R1T pre-order
Interesting windshield wiper pattern. Driver is nearly perfect, but passenger is almost 1/2 obstructed.

This is how the Model Y is as well (presumably Model 3 too?). Maybe the wiper placement helps with aerodynamics? They also have to be able to clear off the top of the windshield for the front facing cameras.

Another observation, that camo wrap R1T has a winch bumper without the fairlead.

Will all LE/Adventure package have the winch ready bumper? Just sometimes covered by the license plate?
We've seen at least one R1T with a winch... However, looking at these pictures I don't think there is winch provisions on this R1T... It looks more like a front license plate bracket, just without the license plate, imo.

Ah, could be.

In the last pic, the horizontal portion still looks to me like a cutout, but it could be part of a bracket.

Oh no, K might reignite the debate on whether that's just the "nice looking" primer coat or a view of the real Launch Green paint.

I'm a firm believer that is the primer that sparked the employee's input that a similar color paint would compliment the R1 nicely.

Yeah, they stated as much somewhere along the way. Should be very similar at least, and probably nicer with a good clear coat on it.

I imagine there is a room at the factory with thousands of launch green variation samples scattered about and a designer rocking back and forth in the corner muttering to themselves.

Ugh, its got the "shark fin" from the wipers! ?
Would you prefer that the forward-facing cameras remained dirty and made for a miserably terrible Drivers+ experience with 2 opposing wipers like most European vehicles and the Ford Fusion...or clean forward-facing cameras and a plethora of added safety? ;)
