This is fantastic! However if this mule really is in the wild right now it would seem to suggest that AP 2.0 hardware is not going to show up in manufactured Teslas in the next month or two.

Second thought: why would Tesla allow this to be seen in public? Any chance it is not a Tesla manufacturer vehicle but instead is a private individual / small startup's modified Tesla?

Kind of like how George Hotz of the newly funded comma.ai purchased an Acura and then modified it to develop his own autonomous driving software package.
 
If this is the current stage, I think it's got to be a long way from production. If they were closer there's no way this ever would have been spotted.

There were reports months ago of Elon testing AP 2.0 sensors, so it shouldn't be a shock. I'm curious if this is a 3rd party solution as well, but more than likely Tesla prototype.
