Model X Mule Sightings

[austinEV]

Hah. Or change the green sticker to an orange one.

Great idea... [puts on plaid shirt]

 

[Skotty]

If I were a mule driver, I would troll this thread. Strap a beany baby to the roof and watch 7 pages of speculation about what it means.

That's funny right there.

Geesh indeed!

Why the Geesh?

Why not just an answer?

The image is good. Not proof of facts over Model 3 CUV clay models at all of course but good for illustrating the then-plan.

Existing Model S owner, instead of looking for the mules, put on your sales hat and hit the streets.

First, I haven't seen that email.

Second, I worry that true user evangelism will become suspect once there's the possibility of pay for referral. I feel it dilutes legitimate recommendations and adds an asterisk to them.

I agree. True believers need NO incentive. This will be fuel for the bears about demand. I hope this is in place for a short period of time while the X ramps at end of Q3 into Q4.

You say the "then" plan like this was a slide they showed once years ago and never talked about again. This has been shown more than once and as recently as a few months ago (except now the slide says Tesla Model 3 Sedan and Crossover). Whether they have clay models of a Gen III CUV I actually kind of doubt, but that they are planning on making one is in no doubt.

Well, no I don't. I say then-plan in the literal sense, it was a good image and if there are others I am happy to see them. It was a perfectly innocent question on my part that per usual TMC style turned into suspicious questioning.

Now, it is true I questioned whether or not there was a Model 3 CUV clay model seen in the posts above. That indeed I questioned.

I am not against the assumption that Tesla is doing a CUV of Model 3 at all. Though, which is it - do we believe Tesla will do the CUV or are just planning it? That one eludes me.

If a tree falls in the forest and there's no-one there to hear it, does it make a sound?

Lol, that would be good for about 5 pages at least. A Beanie Baby sighting, on the other hand might crash the server. :tongue:

CUV & Sedan Model III has always been the plan

This. The 2012 shareholders meeting was the first time the Model 3 crossover variant slide was shown.

I haven't either, but would love to--I know someone who's on the edge, and this might help push her over.

Also, I guess this may be the "something on the demand side" that Elon talked about earlier this year?

I got the email. It's real. Probably churning out address by address.

I thought you of all people would have preferred separating speculation and facts.

Oh well. I do believe CUV Model 3 is very plausible. All I asked is sources on that (which I am content with) and the further claims of clay models of Model 3 CUV (which I am not content with).

Wrong questions on TMC apparently, sorry.

Yep, me too.

Thank you. Acknowledged. Not to question anyone but to just add to sources: Recent new presentations with it?

Also, do you believe the Model 3 CUV clay model claims as fact?

Just FYI this is the Model X Mule thread, there's a whole dedicated thread for that discussion in the Model 3 section.

Thank you for the link, I appreciate it.

To be clear, though, Model 3 CUV was discussed because claims were made Model X clay models would instead be Model 3 CUV clay models. Hence the relevancy here.

This presentation that JB gave in May would be the most recent with this slide:

Around the 26 minute mark:

Yup, got it too just now. Very cool.
