Model X Mule Sightings

[austinEV]

well i think it is interesting that all the debate about the mules being essentially production models is settled. they really did have distraction parts beyond just camo.

This. especially on white. It's amusing they tried hard to hide the nose and ended up with something that (IMO) is worse than the camo. What's all this about only X amount of people having seen a completed Model X? Was it the nose we were waiting to be wow'd by?

Well, I must admit that I really dont see anything new on the reveal... The only thing is the nose and the fact that the doors close and align with the rest of the body (that was no surprise). Where is the "significant" differences from the mules?

Why are you expecting "significant" differences? Mules are your Model X with camouflage... they are not exactly building a different car!

I'm positive there's a lot of stuff they skipped over during the reveal. More will be known once signature series get into owners hands soon and we get real reviews. Founders don't say much.

IMO, the nose cone looked better on the later Mules. I don't care for the look of the front of the production units. Sure.... I will get use to it, but it is a missed opportunity to leverage a consistent design language.

Well, did you read the previous 3500 (ish) posts? Have a look at 'Are the Model X mules close to the final version?' Some well known TMC-members voted for "Not close, I think they're decoys". To be honest: I was hoping for changes, but wasn't expecting much...

This doesn't look like in the video. First I thought it was just the perspective, bit when you look closer you see that the doors in the video open much further down. In addition in the animation it looks like the doors go in and then go down. In the video it looks much more like one movement where they just fold in.

Guess we put this one to bed...

If only we knew how much it is, do not want the P, or autonomous driving.

You know that autonomous driving is not available at this time, right?

This little mule had stereo autopilot cameras...

From BenRavzin.com:

... and this little Founders car only had one!

Maybe this tread has some life in it yet...

Yes, I meant Auto Pilot option.

The thread... just... won't... die...

That's okay. Kenny may drive a mule in the future if the folding seats are being tested.

Hopefully the desire for 2nd row (and first row passenger) folding seats will never die.

My wife saw a blue Model X on Foothill near Page Mill Rd in Palo Alto today... She noted that it had "regular license plates", not dealer or otherwise special plates... Door looks pretty well aligned... handles not so much...

Actually the door isn't very well aligned either. :wink:

It's probably time to start a normal "Model X sightings" thread.
