Tesla Motors testing Model X (or Model 3?) at former Alameda Naval Air Station caught on video by passerby

; Date: Jan 29, 2015

This dude's hanging out at a skate park near the former Alameda Air Station, and is surprised to see Tesla Motors testing a prototype vehicle on the runway.

This is the same Alameda Naval Air Station at which Chekov (Star Trek) was looking for the "Nuclear Wessels in Alameda". Except the Navy abandoned the place decades ago. Obviously, Tesla Motors thinks it's a good place to test prototype cars.

I believe this is the first photo of the #Tesla #model3. The only other photos are from #autoexpress.co.uk that Telsa claims are complete speculations. I saw this one being pulled into the trailer at #AlamedaNAS at an entrance to the closed airfield. The truck pulling it was a Tesla vehicle. After it was closed up I asked if I could be nosey hoping to find out what the car was but I got a quick "not on this one." As if this is far different from normal for them. #telsamodel3 #Alameda #modelE #modelIII #California #ca #cars #car #automobile #teslamodelE #caranddriver #motortrend #Edmunds #teslamotorsclub #Fremontca
