A sense of humor!
A robust imagination!
Rose colored glasses!

Abreojos!
Elon has promised that, "you will definitely be able to" put your bike in the Model 3.
For a car that is not a hatchback, that statement has design implications. Road bike handle bars might be 440mm across. Mountain bikes 630 to 720mm. From the lower pedal to the top of the seat on a road bike has a dimension, some road bikers don't like moving the seat post down for travel...
Anyway, the tall trunk opening should let you, front wheel off, get the bars through the opening last, and place the front wheel in, layered on top of the bike.
The high rear shelf allows that to happen.

Hmm... The seams line up on that car....below the charge port. AND that car needs a little wash.

The seam is exactly in the same place as from the photo where people complained it does not "line up". It's just from this angle the line on the charge port is not obvious.

That's cool how that charge door flips up.
Looks like a manual flip. I hope it stays up when it has ice on it in the winter.

Man, I'm still hoping for the auto flip when you press the button on the charging cable. This looks manual

What looks manual about it? It has to be automatic or FSD couldn't charge on it's own.

It's got'ta open automatically to allow the car to use the "snake" supercharger plug. Without that, how can we "summon" our car from over 215 miles away

What's with the gap between front and rear doors...is the front door ajar?

Unless s/he was copying/pasting it from somewhere else, I think @S70D is actually the photographer, as it was posted to the new chargeport thread 7 minutes before posting it here.

or an up close pix showing the tire model size!I'm assuming someone is sitting in the car (so door may be ajar). Otherwise there'd be no excuse not getting interior pics.

From this angle it appears that the aft edge of the charge door (at least on the left side) lines up with the body seams above and below it. This is somewhat different than what we saw on the right side of the blue model.
