You can see the Mach-E badging on the car. It's literally where the mirrors sit when folded. His hand is below the level.
This is legit, he got a different insert from the factory

"You can see the Mach-E badging on the car. "
I'm not disputing this.

"It's literally where the mirrors sit when folded. "
The image of a panther is on the floor where the pony normally is. Not disputing this either. However, it is trivial to block the projector built into the underside of the mirror with tape, and then project another image in its place from another source.

"His hand is below the level."
The hand in the video is most definitely not anywhere near the mirror underside. Your hand must be very close to the side door panel and under the mirror in order to block the mirror's projector. The projected image is being blocked from another source by the hand wave. If the hand was placed under the mirror the image wouldn't be blocked. I'd like to see that in a detailed video that didn't obfuscate those elements, although even then you could stage it so it appeared to work that way by blocking the real source while showing a hand wave under the mirror. However the cat is out of the bag, pun intended, in the video to date.?

"This is legit, he got a different insert from the factory."
It is merely a clever manipulation of image sources. ??

To what end? Why would he do this? Is it really that important to try and fool a few people on this forum?

Not that hard to do, I've seen more effort put into more ridiculous endeavors, done just for the fun of it to get these reactions, I could go on and on.

Yeah ok.

If it’s legit he can take it to the dealer and have his puma exchanged for a pony. They’ll do it. For free too. After asking if he’s sure he wants it done. Or he can keep it as is as it’s one of a kind.

If he’s really a “Stan”, rabid model S owner who’s angry there are ev choices now instead of one stop buying in Fremont, OK he pulled one over on all us e-pony owners. Ok, he wins, big deal.

Frankly, who cares?

I’m totally serious! I’m not making this up! I don’t get the reference to the panther. I’ve googled everything (and every kind of cat that it might be), I’ve read the window sticker line by line and no reference at all.
My car has this too - very odd and upsetting
