Tesla Model 3 whips through the curvy backroads near Tesla HQ [Video]

Following our report that a black Tesla Model 3 release candidate was spotted testing on open roads, the same vehicle was back on the streets a day later, this time testing on the curvy backroads near the company’s Palo Alto-based headquarters. Teslarati friend and Model S P85 owner Wayne, who sent us yesterday’s Model 3 release candidate spy shots, tells us that he spotted the vehicle once again while driving his normal afternoon route.

“Why is that Tesla’s headlights off?” Wayne tells Teslarati is the main reason why he noticed the vehicle in the first place. Model S and Model X vehicles use daytime running lights that also automatically turn on when driving through dark areas. Beyond having the lights turned off, Wayne also pointed out that the Model 3 had cloudy and opaque headlamps. “The headlights were also kind of not clear… like an older car that has UV damage to the headlight lens”.

The Model 3 was spotted at 3:14pm on Arastradero Road on Wednesday, April 5 which has become a common testing ground for new vehicle development ahead of production. We saw similar videos of Tesla’s Model X testing on the same road prior to production.
