Following the recent sightings of Tesla test mules - yes, we're talking about the Model X - in California, we're starting to believe Elon Musk sends these cars on the road on purpose, so people can take photos and videos and flood the Internet with them.
When you think about it, that's a clever and at the same time cheap marketing stunt. But we don't care if that theory is correct or not, as long as we get to see more pictures of the awaited Model X all-electric crossover from Tesla Motors.

Last time we saw the Model X on the move, the one who photographed the electric crossover told us the car looks like a Model S with a pug nose. However, the car was only photographed from behind, so we couldn't confirm what the guy was saying.

This time, the Tesla Model X was captured from the front in Los Altos, but it's wearing the traditional layer of white camouflage. However, we can't see any pug nose shape there, despite the fact that Tesla Model S styling cues are obviously present. Also, in an attempt of photobombing, a Nissan Leaf wandered around the Tesla test mule.

The pictures were posted by VWVortex forum user hushypushy, and as he noticed, the rear-left door seems a bit offset. Also, the car seems a lot bigger than the Nissan Leaf, despite the fact that when seen from some angles, the two EVs look similar in size.

We can't confirm this yet, but we could expect the Model S to be offered in three variants: 70 kWh, 85 kWh and 100 kWh. The two electric motors will provide the car with all-wheel drive while the battery pack should support a maximum range of 230 miles (370 km).
