Yes Bonnie, Viacom has taken down all copies of the video. However, if you're in the U.S., you should be able to still see it here:

A potential hole in this theory about this is show is taped earlier in the day. I'm sure word would get out before it runs on tv.

Agree! Why reveal via a webcast when you could reveal on one of the most-watched programs on the planet? Why settle for hundreds of thousands of eyeballs when you could have tens of millions, including people who would never plan their day around a webcast?
I think he should show the car. That last mule sighting was pretty open. It's a small step further to bring one on the show and have Elon arrive and step out of the falcon doors. You then have another one sitting on the street with all the bells and whistles, an Model X90D, and rocket Colbert to 60 in 3.3 seconds. C'mon, having millions see that in action would drive demand into a frenzy with a simultaneous design studio opening. Even a couple days later would be fine.
We still have one week of August left and I hope the design studio arrives this month. Showing the X on the Late Show would just be icing on the cake.

I agree. This is a tremendous opportunity to showcase Tesla's product to millions of people. This is a rare opportunity and Elon should make the most of it.

But not as a reveal. Only for a test drive. Definitely not the same thing.

I remember reading that Tesla will do their own event for the first Model X off the line (just like they did for Model S). It could be possible they unveil a production intent design, but I believe for the Model S they did that at their own event also (the Beta Model S event).

Elon said they wouldn't show the MX until deliveries started. IIRC, he either also said or intimated that there wouldn't be a "launch" event the way there was for the D.
Assuming that they put up the configurator in the next couple of weeks (which would be consistent with what Elon said), and start doing deliveries shortly thereafter (maybe just Founders cars), showing the MX on Colbert would be a pretty good idea.

Better yet, Elon will walk out to applause, congratulate Colbert on his new show, then announces the new Tesla Model X, and - eyes left, summons a driverless Model X onstage. To audience raves, everyone watches as an awaiting metal snake plugs in and starts charging.
