Tesla has gone very secretive about the Model 3 and against our best efforts, this is the only image to be found at the moment showing their new EV resting under the covers.

The picture comes from the German edition of Wired which spoke to Tesla’s Chief Designer Franz von Holzhausen about the future of the company, and of course, the Model 3.

From what we can see, the car under the cover looks very similar to a Model S but small details are giving away that this might be the real deal. Things like the more upright front end and the more prominent rear shoulder line give away that this is indeed a 20 per cent smaller version of the Model S.

Franz von Holzhausen didn’t really share any info on the Model 3 as he said that the whole company wants Elon Musk to go out and announce all the details about their first, mass-produced vehicle. German-speaking readers or Google-translate users can read the whole interview here.

Tesla’s reveal event is going to take place at 8.30pm Pacific Time in Los Angeles, California, where Elon Musk will present the Model 3 in a working prototype form.
