I really hope the X gets the fog light setup the S has. The current setup is similar to the alpha S and is aesthetically inferior IMO.

Given the utter lack of news, I'd say Tesla is probably good at keeping secrets… unlike the folks at Cupertino, who have so far not been able to keep much under wraps despite Tim Cook's claim of "doubling down" on secrecy, lol.
Off topic, I know, but I often wonder if AAPL intentionally leaks stuff to stir up demand. Tesla on the other hand seems to have insane demand to satisfy even with no ads and no leaks.

It could be as simple as this:
--They wanted to move the MX prototype somewhere.
--It can drive.
--The "show" wheels are one-offs (well, four-offs anyway).
So, swap the wheels to something common and drive it to the new location for display and put the show wheels back on.
Otherwise they seem identical in every visible detail. The one seen on the street is not a revised MX.

After reading this it seems likely they will debut a nearly ready Model X. If all they are working on is aerodynamics I think they could give us something to talk about in Detroit.

While I don't doubt their source, the write of the article seemed to not have an in depth knowledge of tesla. Particularly the throwaway mention of them working on a third platform as if the model e isn't part of that
Tesla says they will NOT develop an AWD version for the Model S. There is no point. It's fantastic as it is.
Also, the AWD in the Model X will have far less space available in the frunk as the motor will be in that cubby hole, like you see in the S.
The S and rear wheel drive X will have the cubby hole space, the AWD X will not.

For one thing, they've eliminated the two wheel drive version of the Model X. I don't have any information about an AWD Model S, but I have a hunch you are wrong about that, too.
"No point" in California, perhaps. I would love to have an AWD Model S for winter driving conditions.
So what? I rarely use that space.
Also there is no RWD Model X now.

I play a nice person on twitter.
Tesla HAS developed an AWD version of the Model S and the only question now is 'when will it be released?'. It's not even a debatable point.
Yes, everyone is well aware that the motor for the front AWD will land in the cubby space of the frunk. Not sure what your point is there. I'm good with that. I don't know anyone who isn't good with that.
The X will only be available as an AWD version.
The frunk in AWD Model X (the only configuration that will be available) will not have the back "microwave" area available for storage as it will be taken up by the second drive unit. It will, however, be significantly deeper because of the surface of the hood in Model X sits significantly higher then in Model S. See pictures below for comparison.
There is more space in the frunk in Model X, and it is more usable space too.

They will show a car like everybody else, so production MX is my guess. Jalopnik knows all, except about T.; not helpful:
