A group of Tesla vehicles spotted under covers at the automaker’s test track at the Fremont factory is raising some questions.
Tesla has a very small test track on the ground of its first factory, Tesla Fremont, in California.
Now and again, people fly drones over the factory and catch glimpses of new cars being tested. Youtuber ‘Met God in Wilderness’ is one of those drone pilots who regularly fly over the factory and while he didn’t catch vehicle being tested, he did catch some curious vehicles under covers next to the track:
The vehicles are all covered, and therefore, it’s hard to tell exactly what they are, but the different shapes are intriguing and raise some questions.
It looks like three, maybe four, different kinds of vehicles:
We know that Tesla is working on three new specific vehicles: a Model Y design refresh, and two new cheaper models based on Model 3 and Model Y.
All three vehicles are expected to be unveiled early next year.
Electrek’s Take
At the risk of stating the obvious, getting much information from vehicles hidden under cover can be hard. It’s even possible that some of those have shape camouflage, which is sometimes used by automakers – although I don’t remember Tesla ever using that.
So here are my best guesses. Take them for what they are: guesses.
The most interesting ones to me are the first two on the left in the picture above. The last vehicle on the left looks like it could be a smaller Model 3.:
The next one could be its Model Y counterpart:
I also wouldn’t be surprised if a Model Y Juniper, the upcoming refresh, is under one of those covers, but we already had good looks at this one.
What about you? What do you think about these Tesla vehicles? Let us know in the comment section below.
