Fans of Tesla, as well as investors, have been eagerly awaiting the debut of the Model X. It's been a LONG time since we got a first look at a concept and now a lot of folks want to see what the real deal is.
What will get lost from concept to production? What all-new features will Tesla hit us with? Will THIS be a follow up, gamechanging vehicle that will propel shares of TSLA through the roof?
After the success of the Model S, a lot is riding on this sport-utility vehicle/minivan/crossover thing.
This past week was a busy one for Spies. That's because the Model X was nabbed in three different locations. Not only was it caught, it was seen on video. Considering how below the radar the Model X has been flying, this is huge news.
First in Arizona, a eagle-eyed viewer video'd a Model X covered in dirt on a trailer. While it's obviously a test vehicle, we're guessing it ran out of juice during some off-roading.
Second, spied in NoCal's Bay Area town of Mountain View — home to Google — a Model X was seen cruising the local boulevard.
Lastly, seen in NoCal's Berkeley neighborhood, a Model X is once again driving on local roads.
A couple takeaways from these clips:
1) The Model X is going to be BIG. Check out how long and tall it is. To me, it appears to be the same proportions as the BMW 5-Series GT.
2) While the Model X will try to take some creative license from the Model S, which is a pretty stellar design, it doesn't appear it will be a looker as much as it will be a vehicle designed for function.
Check out the clips below, Spies, and let us know what YOU think of the all-new Model X!
