I think she is out buying more checkered shirts.:wink:

Those taillights are the same as in the Model X Concept:

Is this an older prototype picture, or one of the newest release candidates? Either way, this is spectacular.

So far I think the gray and white are my favorite colors.

Natch. Burberry, of course. Seems appropriate, considering.

Thanks for posting doggusfluffly. I wonder if Tesla does their own colour wrapping? This one has the front nose cone and "sunroof" wrapped red like the rest of the "mule". The new paint factory seems to be up and running. If Tesla does their own wrapping, then perhaps nose-cone colours might be an option?

This looks to me very much like the top edge of the 'floating' screen seen in the prototypes. The 'Mules' all seem to have been using borrowed MS dashes, but this must be the production interior.

Jeez, they just can't get those doors to line up.

My wife just bought me a nice Ben Sherman version this week. All I could think was, "This will do nicely when I pick up our X!". Hahaha! ;-)

It could just as easily be a laptop computer or tablet being used by the passenger. All signs I've seen indicate the prototype-style screen is being replaced by a flush-mounted screen. I'm expecting the dash will bear a strong resemblance to the Model S dash moreso than what appeared in the prototypes.

So now we've seen Model X in every current Model S color but Titanium, making it highly likely the paint colors will be shared between the two. They might keep some new colors under wraps until the full reveal, but I wouldn't be surprised if they stick with what they already have.

Has anyone done some calculations on width and lenght of the latest mules/rc/etc?

Hoping it is so big I wont regret cancelling my X-res and buying the P85D instead even though I fear the price will be through the roof here in Norway now with the exchange rate being so bad for the NOK...

I am hoping that this is a sign that they are being more adventurous with colors that the past where there are 3 shades of white, black, dark blue and 3 shades of silver

You can make out some of the rear seat back in the red X picture. The position looks like there is not enough room for another row in between (the one you wouldn't be able to see because of the dark tint) and not enough behind it either. I guess this might mean that this is a 2 row version with the second row moved back. Just a guess of course since it is hard to see and we don't know if these are final anyway

I know many of us are sounding like broken records here, but why can't they get those doors to line up?!?!? It could be that this car has an undersized chrome strip on the bottom of the driver's door, but surely they know that these pictures are being distributed far and wide.

Informed speculation is that the same paint shop is painting S- and X-bodies. So the color availability will be the same. Generally the first few (hundred) of a new model will be painted white, because it is easier to debug & finalize coverage & check fit with white.

Just this last week, so many new colors spotted. Seems like almost on purpose, doesn't it?

I wonder about an electric option. Wouldn't towing put too much pressure on the mechanism since it would be pulling it further along its track?

FWIW, at least Audi does electric hitches in Europe - although the end-piece is added manually once base is extended.

I speculated long ago that the bumper hole might have been for testing foldable hitch mechanism (access hole).
