MILPITAS — This much-anticipated Tesla Model X SUV, with duct tape outlining the windows of the Falcon Wing doors, was spotted Thursday afternoon out for a test drive on southbound Interstate 880.
The all-electric vehicle, which is expected to be priced somewhere between $55,000 and $75,000, is supposed to be “revealed” in September, company founder Elon Musk told shareholders last week.
“As we prepare to launch Model X in September, we are building more validation vehicles, executing final engineering and testing work,” Musk said.
For the short time it was observed Thursday, the Model X spotted on I-880 stayed mostly in the slow lanes, keeping speeds under 60 mph.
Two engineer-types appeared in the front seats, but no sign of Musk.
