Local Supercharging is the best.

Let's see one not camouflaged and in another color!!!!!

Love the bottom picture showing the guy standing by the X. This plus the S beside it give a great overall sense of size/proportions. Gorgeous!

that picture from behind makes it look a lot like a Prius, hope that isn't the case.

Where they charging and was there a car cover on it. Seems like they want people to see it.

Thank you for sharing the sighting.

This Model X mule has a multitude of cameras on top of its front window we have seen before:

What I thought was interesting is that in addition to the four across the top of the windshield, there appears to be a pair of sensors at the top of the turn signal/fog light cut out, which look more permanent than the windshield ones.

Is it asking too much for someone to just walk up to it, grab the black masking across the front, then pull? Snap a quick pic then RUN! Then post, of course. :biggrin:

 

[AnxietyRanger]

Indeed. Those were present on the previous (same mule?) sighting as well, the quality just wasn't enough to make out prior.

Pointed out here too:

What I'd settle for are some high-res versions of these latest pictures!

I can't believe we have such amazing close-up angles of a Model X with cameras and whatnot showing, and then the quality is a high-compressed, low-res image, not enough to analyze any details.

I don't mean to sound unappreciative. I do appreciate it. But if anyone knows/can help/gets a chance how to get high-res images, it does help analysis immensely.

Apple did it (everyone's got a "camera" in their pocket). Mpixels aren't enough... You need good optics too, and a steady hand.

that picture from behind makes it look a lot like a Prius, hope that isn't the case.

With you 100%, the back ends of the two original prototypes were much nicer - not a vertical wall.

 

[andrewket]

It does look quite flat.

Not grand but something.View attachment 84513

I really appreciate this photo because it shows the difference in heights between the Model S and Model X. Rear seat headroom is one shortcoming of Model S, and it seems pretty clear that the second row occupants of Model X will enjoy similar headroom to occupants in the front row.

There are going to be some similarities in shape due to the demands of aerodynamics, but I doubt that Model X will be mistaken for a Prius. Tesla's rear tail lights are pretty distinctive.

True in general and some times in practice too of course, but in this case, higher-res would help unless the camera was a dumb phone or old Blackberry. The shots have probably been resized and compressed by the social media site instead. From the originals we could learn a lot more...

One could of course think planted images would be low-res but I agree with the common TMC hypothesis that only the first harbour drive and black mules from around January were planted (to take the edge of from future real sightings probably and to get some buzz). Later ones are probably bad quality just for human reasons.

Agreed!
