Tesla car code names

[TEG]

I haven't heard of any code names other than those 3

I have a Model X A/C compressor out that mentions Red Star on the identification sticker. Perhaps the Model X code name is Red Star. That would play into a neat scheme whereby the Model X, S, and 3 give you get Red, White, and Blue as a nod to made in the USA.

Of course it does...

Did anyone ever find out what the code name was for the Model X? I have looked all over and couldn't find the answer. I somewhere stumbled onto someone saying it was Pegasus which makes sense but doesn't really fit with the theme of the others.

X Code name: "Detour"

(It wasn't part of the "master plan".)

Teslascope on X: "As with the codename "Lychee" for the new Tesla Model S, the codename for the new Model X has finally been disclosed as "Tamarind". The Plaid engine architecture (for both the Model S and Model X) is also referred to as Palladium." /X | Sep 2, 2021

Now I don't know if this codename for Model X applies to the orginal, or the refreshed Model X based on the pallidium platorm shared with Model S/Plaid.
