Your understanding and patience is appreciated while our engineers work to continuously improve."

The take-away is that what we're seeing may very well be "design exercises" and not the actual progress toward production. Although the Alpha dashboard/IP incorporated some Model 3 design elements, the Beta rendering suggests some similarity to the latest Model S...
