Yeah but not which model. And if you look at the screen it shows the falcon wing door cut outs.
Dont really wanna think its the X cuz the lack of change and goodies in the cabin.

Youtube video has that bad resolution, that I really can't say anything about screen's doors.

Also later in the video the driver says "it really has almost too much power for sedan".

Its the lock unlock buttons that makes it appear as Cut-outs. ITS A MODEL S

That's just the prototype/mockup on display at the Tesla Design Studio in Hawthorne, CA. Here's an almost identical photo, but with Steve Wozniak instead (he posted this pic as part of an April Fools prank back in 2014).

In this photo, you can clearly see that it has old Performance-style seats in the front row. That further supports the idea that the interiors of these mules are not the same as what the production models will have, since they aren't making these seats for Model S anymore.

 

[Trev Page]

And you didn't think to run up and snap a quick pic of the interior, especially the rear seats?????? WTF

 

[lolachampcar]

That is way too small to be an X.

I think someone just got a shot of the 3

 

[eye.surgeon]

Definitely too small to be an X. Appears to have suicide style rear doors also.

Are you suggesting that instead of Falcon Wing doors, which also have the handles at the leading edge of the door like that too?

 

[Bunky]

Looks pretty obviously an X. Curb your enthusiasm re: Model 3.

Earlier this month, Tim Urban (who writes the Wait But Why blog), mentioned going on a factory tour when he interviewed Elon for his blog. The article was published this month. The whole process started with a phone call "last month".

During the tour, he was able to go to the design center where people were working on the full-size clay model.

So it's safe to say he was looking at a clay model in the last few weeks. I have a hard time believing they've progressed from a clay model to actual, rolling prototypes in a few weeks.

Search for "clay" (about 1/3 down)

Better yet, snap a pic of a VIN! That could answer lots of questions.

Perhaps this is a hint at what a production X will look like? Great angle, whatever the case.

One thing I couldn't help but notice; observe the way the bus stop protrudes from the rear of the car. My tired eyes initially thought it was a rear spoiler. Kinda reminds me of a WRX from the future :tongue:

Exactly. I wish this was a 3, then I could pay ~$35k for a car virtually indistinguishable from it's $80-100k older brother. :wink:

Thanks for posting this. I'm a little disappointed that there aren't more pics, considering this vehicle 'looks' unattended.

Does anyone have any idea what those stickers on each piece of glass are all about?

Sorry to DP - I couldn't see an edit function. Have just had a second look at the photo, and it's hard to imagine 3 rows of seats inside of that thing. The second row would be positioned halfway back of the second window to allow space for rear passengers to squeeze through. If you follow the height line of the front row of seating backwards and allow enough spacing then the third row seating headrests would be touching the roof of the rear hatch

Then again surely it's too soon for 3 mules... are we sure this is a Tesla? The plot thickens...
