Random Model X sightings

Didn't post earlier because I couldn't take pictures, but I saw a red MX parked on Chicago Ave. just outside Abbott Children's Hospital about 3 weeks ago. First time seeing one in the wild.

Every time I see a Tesla parked on the street, often around Children's, I cringe a bit. People have more faith in other's driving ability than I.

I saw my first X in the wild here in San Diego for a good 5 seconds, but a god damned Corolla completely blocked me of the visual pleasure let aside any pictures. Today onwards, I abhor Corollas!

I nearly fainted (while driving) when I saw what I thought was a model 3 today, in the wild. It seemed highly illogical, though. After much thought I've concluded that what I saw was a model X. It appeared much smaller than I thought it would, which was why I thought OMG MODEL 3. It was going the other direction so I just caught a brief glimpse of the front end.

I don't have a pic. Just to confirm, if you're driving an SUV and sitting pretty high, would the X appear smallish, like a small sedan?

Could it be one of the newly redesigned Model-S?

X doesn't look smallish by any chance

Well...a moment later an unrelated Model S drove following it (opposite me). They did not look alike. This was roundish and small. I do not think it was an S.

So the X doesn't appear small from the height of a Jeep Grand Cherokee? Hm.

Spotted a Silver 90D with 20's and temporary plates in the parking lot adjacent to my gym this afternoon. Purdy. Looked like a black leather (PUP) interior with matte Obeche trim. Very nice.

I saw my first one in Austin this week and I've been looking everywhere on my commuting. We only have just over 50 delivered in this area though. I'm assuming Cali has 100s - 1,000s
