Model X test car in Palo Alto

Tesla Model X spied on road, deliveries begin Q3 2015


Found this on R&T with a short video of lightly covered test car.

Are there frontal corner cameras inside the fog light enclosure - middle of the vertical slits?

goneskiian: That is, indeed, an interesting angle. One thing that I find interesting is the rear window lower part. I speculated some time ago from some earlier mule photos if that area is hiding something significant, like some sensors or perhaps even a speed-activated spoiler like Audi A7.

I just saw that same car today along I280 near Redwood City. I know its a crappy photo.

You saw one with silver wheels while this one has black wheels. Other than that they could be the same vehicle.

There sure is a problem with the front window fitment! Looks like the software to knock the windows down 1/4 inch before closing is not working properly.

And could these be rear side-facing cameras? Or just lights?

This has been seen in previous 2015 mule(s) as well (with some wiring in the area). Probably just some testing equipment requiring it or aerodynamics testing...

Saw this over at Road & Track's site:

Great video spot, thank you.

I wonder what those glaring points above the wheels, in the black wheel arches are. They were seen in the photos of the dark rimmed mule as well.

This mule has light rims, so it seems to be a different mule from the first one. Theremay also be different (?) nose camo on this one.

Still nothing to exclude the idea (potential leak) of a missing nose cone, or at least a dramatic change in that area, since there can be camo under that front wrapping as well, such an odd shape.

Any other spottings of interest, people?

Model X Mule Spottings

Since we are seeing more and more spottings, lets keep them together here. AnOutsider and I will work on moving some out of the Where is the Model X Test Mule? Is there one? thread.

 

[bonnie]

Good luck with that .

 

[goneskiian]

Sweet! First post in a thread I didn't start! Ha! ;-)

Somehow, I think that will change before I even post this.

You must have a preference for intense pain.
Oh wait, now you have to move this comment into a different thread as well.
Darn :angel:

 

[EVenthusiast]

Man, if I lived in that area, I would be taking the day off from work, and stalk some of these spots where they have been sighted with my DSLR and some GoPros

 

[goneskiian]

Darn I'm no longer the thread starter. Oh well, didn't expect that to last long. ;-)

To mods, I reckon this thread should only have posts with photos or videos of the X being spotted, with no posts discussing them, to prevent it becoming many pages long. Maybe sticky this as well.

I appreciate the work you have done nevertheless in sorting out the mega thread.

Delete this post if you do so.

Discussion is totally ok. I'm working on creating either a group wiki or thread wiki to collect them so we can keep them together.

Has anyone else noticed how frisky Nigel and Bonnie have become since being freed from the bonds of moderatorship?

Guess I probably shouldn't post the Hello Kitty version.

I gave Nigel a rep point for his - you can get one too. Not that that means much for either of you :smile:
