Tesla Model Q mule car spotted again.A flat tire had one of Tesla's mobile service working on it. note a camera or sensor inside headlight and no side mirrors. Interior looked almost identical to the Model3, but the headlight shape was different from any Tesla we've seen so far.

Certainly looks real, and really being serviced by a vehicle of the tesla service fleet, at a supercharger.

All prototypes really. I don't know if it's mandated, but we had those on prototypes at Ford 20 years ago.
That’s the new boost button. It’s just a placebo because they don’t need it but just trying to give people the same experience as the GV60

It's a Mazda CX-30, gas cap, door handles, and all. So I'm not sure you can make any conclusions about the headlight shape.
Mazda is likely negotiating powertrain contracts with Tesla and this is just a cobbled together proof-of-concept they are evaluating. Apparently they didn't want to put any effort into adapting Mazda lighting to the Tesla architecture so they just duct-taped some Model Y parts on there after a short sawzall session.

Your photos are of a different vehicle than the OP's photos which clearly show Tesla Model 3-esque front end, Tesla brembo brakes, sport aluminum wheels, Tesla flush door handles, no black body cladding, as a full on Tesla interior.It's a Mazda CX-30, gas cap, door handles, and all.

No, it's the same Mazda as OP's pic. Here's the front view on the same tow truck:
And note the Mazda door handles, mirror, and rocker cladding:
CX-30 for comparison:

No the vehicle in your photos is not exactly the same. I'm not arguing that it's not based on a Mazda platform because it appears to be but the one in the OP's photos doesn't have sideview mirrors and the door handles are flush as there are no indentations or handles on the sides. It's pretty clear there are more than a few different mules running around as the ones in the OP's photos appear to be closer to production with Tesla interior and door handles.

Ah, I see what you mean. OP’s car appears to have Model 3 door handles and lacks the lower black cladding of the Mazda.
Weird.
Weird.
