Tesla Model X Caught On Video In Acceleration, Cornering Tests

Thank heavens for the Interwebs, which have now surfaced a video of a Tesla Model X electric SUV being tested in the San Francisco Bay Area.

There's just over 60 seconds of footage of what's clearly a Model X, with camouflage patterns covering the details of its bodywork.

The video, shot on an iPhone 5 that had been zoomed in as far as possible, was posted on YouTube yesterday by a user named Juan del Real.

He "just happened to notice the Model X being driven on the adjacent runway," he writes, while he was at the skate park next to the former Naval Air Station in Alameda, California.

The test vehicle appears to be doing acceleration tests from a standing start, followed by braking tests.

Then there are a couple of scenes of the Model X doing loops at speed, presumably to test its cornering.
