Is it me or what. There are no headlight projectors right? So is the fit and finish not up to production spec?

No, these are test mules and will definitely have differences from the production models. They mentioned in the article about the E series that the interior panels are smooth and the production will be textured. The current shocks are adjustable, where the production likely will not be. There are regular analog gauges instead of Elgins, etc.

So every E Series will be bare bones pretty much.

Some more than others, depending on what testing sequence they are going to be used for.
For the cash testing, they will probably have junkyard motors, something to simulate the IVA motor in size and weight, but not running.
Others, no interior; they will be built just enough to function for a test.
