Where can I see a Model X now?

Model S: VIN 65513, Model 3: VIN 1913
We had a little run in with this Model X proto at Hawthorne last week. While our S was charging and while I was taking in the stats on the Supercharger dashboard, my 7-year-old son went "wheeeee!" spinning his LEGO X-wing Starfighter around; enough for some of the Lego pieces to go flying off under the X (some sort of coincidence?!) between the front wheels. 
The nice security chap in the lobby showed off his soccer skills by kicking the pieces out from beyond the rope line.

This one has different wheels on it than the pictures I've seen of the Model X on display.
Doesn't mean it isn't the same vehicle... but worth noting. Otherwise looks identical to my eyes.

Yes definitely different wheels than were on the car when I saw it at the Palo Alto showroom several months ago. But highly likely it is the same car.
I wonder if the production version will have the same front cornering lights and front side grill openings as the S? This alpha X doesn't appear to have those features.

I just checked the status of the SCs between Chicago and Detroit. There is only one missing near Toledo to make the trip. I just read that the SC at Maumee, OH will be opened this week! If that happens I am planning to drive to Detroit on January 19th to check out the Model X in person. Now let's just hope the SC will indeed go online this week, just in time for the Detroit Motor Show.
Hey mep, that's great. I hope it's a GO for you. Please let us know. I think the SC buildout is a very big deal, as big an event as (while going hand in hand with) the development of the Model S. When coast to coast is "suddenly" done, people who may have been marginally interested are really going to take notice. I am excited.
And re the big Detroit show: borrowing from brianman's advice for people headed for a test drive - write down the questions you would like to have answered. I'm assuming someone who can and/or will answer them will be present. Among mine (just in case you were wondering :wink New color(s)? Side view cameras, right? Bigger battery? When can Bonnie come pick hers up?:smile: Etc. ML

My neighbor drove down to Ohio to visit his in-laws (without his Model S). Anyway, he stopped at the Maumee location; and he said it is either live now or is days away from final approval. So, it is highly likely it will be opened on January 19th.
I can take video of Model X. I typically go on Media day or Wednesday. I'll keep everyone posted.
Awww, Mike
Just need to know when to start cleaning out the garage, remember ? :wink: I took some "before" photos awhile ago (of our garage, we do fit 2 cars in it, but the junk must go out before the Tesla goes in). Oh yeah, and to start working out the financing. By then we will all know the $$$$!
Did I get this right? Do you think I could actually test drive the Model X? I guess not. I would be excited if I could sit in it. My experience with preproduction models at car shows is that car makers won't even let anybody enter a car.

Yes please!
...and take pictures and a video. Just hope they will demonstrate the falcon wings to the general public.
If a beta X is there, please try to determine if the footprint is the same as the S. Distance from each axle and from the front wheels and distance between the rear wheels. I'm not saying bring a tape measure but if you had one

I can get close enough I will try to measure the footprint.

I'm sure that beta versions of the X will be on display in various stores long before Detroit 2015.
I was always looking for a good excuse to drive to the Detroit show and I hoping to see both model X and model E.
The fact they couldn't get an X to Detroit makes me feel that Sig X's will probably only start deliveries a year from now. I'd be surprised with anything earlier.
