Where is the Model X Test Mule? Is there one?

[Twiddler]

The first I have seen of it - definitely looks legit!! I wish they would have caught the front. Do you have a link?

How's that? Is that better? I can't take credit for it though. Someone posted it on facebook.

Awesome! (almost) No camo... Darth Vader edition :biggrin:

So I guess the vehicle being tested at Alameda really was the X. It was hard to tell with the camo and distance but the back-end is identical.

Maybe some tape or 'bra' hiding some of that nose...

Looks beastly. This is big.

And now people will be disappointed when they go to order the all black trim.

That's as hitchy-looking a trailer hitch as a hitch can be. BUT - what is that 12" gap in the bumper above the gap? I can't grasp that at all.

Does someone have a link to the Facebook page? I'm trying to get this on the local news tonight and need the source.

 

[MikeL]

I think I'll get one of those. :smile:

The rims have more spokes than standard S wheels.

BTW - we really need to hashtag the heck out of this. Time to spread some "positive FUD" - let's goooooo #ModelX

Thanks, buddy. Should be on KCAL 9 at 8 pm in Los Angeles!

I really like the lines on this, now that I can see the body panels sans camouflage. Here's hoping reservation 6,000-something gets delivered this Fall!!!

Looks sleek. Can't wait for more details!

I'm trying to learn about those shoes. Other than gutowskia's observation about the spokes, I see:
*four bolts - that's not so beefy for SUVs (I understand this is a CUV, so ok there)
*seem about as meaty as a 19" rimmed tire.
*can't see anything at all about its tread

Enough detail this time so we'll not have to wade through dozens of "this is really a beta Model 3" or other such posts.

i dont think its 4 bolts, i think the image is deceptive, unless you are seeing something im not. wouldnt make sense to create a new hub with 4 lugs only, esp on a car that heavy/powerful.

I watched "Edge of Tomorrow" last night, the movie is 'meh' but it reminded me of this thread. Every time around we see a bit more and a bit more....
