Random Model X sightings

[vandacca]

Spotted on University Ave (at Kipling) in Palo Alto at around 1pm today. VIN 31 I believe.

Very artistic with the palm tree reflections and colors! Love it.

Side marker says its a Founder-series car. Fits with the timeline. Nice find!

Anyone know if this is Midnight Silver Metallic?

Looks like!

Looks like only one of the side view mirrors is folded in...

Noticed that too. Could have just been pushed in manually or inadvertently.

 

[MikeL]

Nice. I think I'll get one of those. :smile:

Founders or Sig?

Founders. At least for VIN 15, 16

A friend sent me this photo yesterday, of Kimbal Musk and his X in Boulder.

I love at least two things about this:

1. The brotherly circumspection, attempting to find things to pick with the sibling, rivalry, plastered all over his face. Reminds me of family. Good (and bad and all) times.

2. The massive ugly oil stains on the ground where he's standing. They're both better than that in many ways.

 

[AudubonB]

(Spoiler response here...) - not oil stains. That's road grit coming off recent tires.

Yep. Maybe that should be "soiler response".

Being in California, maybe bwa hasn't ever seen snow before. [emoji6]

I heard at the Tesla Gallery in Lone Tree yesterday then it was Founder's #20.

Was at the Tesla Palo Alto store yesterday. Peeked in the garage, they had 2 brand new Model X's in there, a white one and a red one. Looked like they were prepping them for delivery. One of the salepeople said he wasn't allowed to touch them.

Saw Founders 40, Sig Red in Menlo Park this morning

Saw Founders 40, Sig Red in Menlo Park this morning

I am quite surprised how many Founders cars there are. Kinda devalues the Sig #1 (which of course has now been delivered).
And interestingly, there are a few more founders to come with Bonnie and Andrew and the other winners... I think Andrew has stated that he'll be F#53...

I went to the factory boneyard area by the Service Center, and there's an adjacent fenced in area with stored vehicles. I have no idea the disposition of these. They could be mules, dev, rejects, in process staged, shipment staged, etc.. This lineup has doubtless been explored by these forums before, so I think nothing new. No close ups or new info available. The only thing I like is you can see the profile difference between the S&X designs, which is nearly meaningless if they aren't the current designs.

Edit: fixed orientation on desktops.

 

[BajaSurBoy]

I believe these are cars for delivery. Looks like there is a Temporary Registration in each cars window.

 

[highedu]

Looks like a row of x's

No pic because it was at the owner's house (by random chance, I spotted the car in the driveway and he came out moments later), but I randomly ran into Founders 36 today as I was walking my dog. Super nice guy. He let me check it out inside and out! It was a black P90Di with tan interior and 22" silver wheels.

 

[highedu]

A video I found on YouTube....anybody know the color of the wood?

 

[ModelX]

Looks like the figured ash wood.
