It’s not. We have seen the front fenders that match the CAD and the camo cars.

The shape of the black fender also has the features of the rear fender and lines for the rear hatch.
No, I'm further proving they are not the front. They are the back. But I'm asking people to recognize the square shape that I see cutout from the fender, and I'm asking what it is.

Thanks for the clarification.

If you look closely at my comparison above. I reversed the image to help amplify the colors.

You cannot see the support Armature through the fender at any point where the scoop opening should be and I do not see any indication of an opening at that particular point.

As I said earlier, the scoop opening may be CNC cut out in a secondary operation or that the scoop opening is just not visible in those particular images because we are not seeing the entire fender

i think the square shape you see iare reflections. Could be wrong But we know where the dual door is high on the driver side fender and is round.

I dont think a hatch hatch in that spot would be easily accessible as an electric port. Usually there are closer to the front ? And higher so you don’t have to squat.

Aslo in that location it would likely interfere with the scoop duct IMO.

Anything is possible since GM refuses to throw us a bone ! ; )
