Model X mule - Looking closely at the nose 08/2015

Nope, not a production front on that white one. AR, as your close up screen capture shows, there is a wicked gap to the hood while the frontal shot on the dark gray X with white wrap did not have this gap.

Likely different headlights too but it could just be the way the bumper and headlight interact that cause the gap above the lights.

Not sure about the headlights of course, but it can be merely missing trim from that hole as shown in the concept drawings.

What IS noteworthy about the painted production or release candidate looking mules and this one is that they all seem to share logo trim on the rear (not seen before) and a new front bumper with a more pronounced middle bar. This too can be seen in the evolution of the concept drawings in the post above.

I think this white-clad mule may have the same front bumper and nosecone (possibly integrated into the bumper) as the cars we speculated being perhaps Release Candidate 2s. It seems to be merely missing whatever trim goes to that gaping hole and has (a camera?) some test rigging in its place.
