The particular angle minimizes the worst part of the Mules (the tail side profile). I'm not sure how you can materially change that with a kit though...
Apparently they are for the ICE that this version of the X has in the frunk.
Amazing that we haven't seen the final form of the X and already somebody thinks it needs modifying...

Good heavens no... The OP tried to make a Model X look like a street racing ICE. Why would you want that out of Tesla?

Just got off the phone with BMW. They want the front bumper from the X5 M back.
Also, any kind of front fascia air inlet had better be functional.
The wheels are okay.

Thank you all for the feedback! Wow 3 pages in just a day or so! Thank you all for sharing your opinions!
This is the power of community, providing valuable direct feedback into the design process. Everyone’s opinions are being considered as the project continues from this very early stage into a later evolution.
Please continue to share your opinions both good and bad! The entire point of sharing is to allow the community to share a part in the development.
Some of the questions raised will be answered below:
Topic 1: The large openings in the side will house the location of the factory fog lights. As the car’s final design is not yet released, the final fog light design is now known. Whereas the bumper shape is represented, the intention is not to have large air inlets there but rather to house the combination lamps. If you look at the Unplugged Performance Model S you will see exactly the same topic (on that car the factory lamps are retained and relocated in a new position)
Topic 2: The roof rack is just conceptual. Clearly it is known that the Falcon Doors would interfere unless the roof rack separated and carried with it.
Topic 3: The wheels are just filler instead of black space. There is no intention to design these wheels.
Topic 4: It is very aggressive. – Yes. The thought is that a 750+hp vehicle should not be confused with 300hp car. The design intention is meant to showcase the performance that it is capable of. The design is absolutely not for everyone surely, but on a P90D Model X the goal is to have design that reflects the performance.
Topic 5: People say it looks angry. The look represents the emotional response of the car (if it had responsive emotions) in a scenario that someone walks up to a 750+hp P90D Model X and says that it looks like a Prius. If someone compared 750hp to a Prius, we feel it would respond with a growl and launch into attack mode. This is the look of attack mode. Many will disagree with an aggressive look, but 762hp for example is an aggressive number.
For clarification, a quick explanation regarding the vent / opening topic, below is original rendering / concept art for the Unplugged Performance Model S Fascia:
The following is the final design, which includes placement of the OEM fog lamps (please note the car is set to an extreme low setting on the prototype Unplugged Performance air suspension lowering links):

Seriously!
I will be staying tuned for what you guys come up with for a final design, especially if Tesla can't make it sporty enough for my tastes. I agree that the quickest, most ludicrous SUV on the road should look the part.
Cheers!

Wow that's an image I didn't need.
(Not the customized X, the mental image of the quoted post!)

I think the shading might be tricking your eye. They are actually supposed to be diffuser fins.
