Instagram user dmitryloki posted video footage of a special black Tesla Model 3 ‘0007’ Release Candidate that has a new sensor fixed to the passenger side rear roof. The video shows the sensor with wires strung across the roof to the driver’s side of the vehicle with what looks to be an airflow sensor hanging out from the top.

The specially numbered Release Candidate was spotted on the freeway in San Jose, California, just south of the Tesla Fremont factory in the greater Bay Area. Number 007 carries special meaning for CEO Elon Musk who loves the James Bond franchise so much that he bought the underwater Lotus Submarine prop used in the 70’s James Bond classic “The Spy Who Loved Me” for a staggering $997,000. In tribute to the special Lotus, Tesla baked-in the infamous easter egg into Model S and Model X vehicles that are equipped with air suspension.



Numerous Release Candidates have been spotted out on public roads, some of which include a number affixed to the rear window of the driver’s side. With such significance attached to 007, it should come as no surprise that it has features that other vehicles don’t.

Just caught a new Tesla Model 3 on a road from Fremont. Looks nice! #teslamodel3 #tesla

The video shows the Model 3 zipping along on the freeway with a Tesla Model X as the chase car.

Following their attendance at the Official Tesla Owners Club Summit held last week at the Fremont factory where Model 3 was sighted everywhere, Tesla Owners Club Belgium also spotted the black 007 Model 3 cruising through Silicon Valley.

With plans to showcase a fully autonomous Tesla vehicle that will be capable of driving from a parking garage in California to New York by end of year, and completely on its own, we expect to see a wide array of sensors on test vehicles in the months to come.

Here’s another video of the black 007 car posted on Twitter that shows the vehicle with antenna-like device mounted on the roof.

Tesla plans to accept orders and deliver the first Model 3 vehicles in July. First buyers will initially be given the opportunity to choose from vehicle paint color and wheel size.

Following our report that a special ‘007’ Tesla Model 3 was spotted testing with a mysterious roof-mounted device, Teslarati now has insight on what the hardware is likely being used for.

We’ve previously seen Tesla test Model S vehicles mounted with a LiDAR puck and traditional tower-mount LiDAR equipment, but the recent sighting of a small device mounted to the roof of a black Model 3 is in fact sensing equipment unrelated to Autopilot.

A Teslarati reader familiar with the device informs us that it’s likely an ultraviolet sensor to measure the UV Index on Model 3’s glass roof.

While Tesla’s glass roof offers a breathtaking experience, especially when riding in the backseat as a passenger, having protection from harmful UVB rays that are known to cause sunburns and UVA rays that lead to long-term skin damage is paramount. The sensor spotted on the black 007 Model 3 appears to be a UV Radiometer.

Tesla is likely testing the level of UV protection Model 3’s all glass roof offers. If it’s anything like the full panoramic or glass roof that’s already available on Model S, the Model 3 roof will provide unparalleled views with 98% UV protection. Adding sun protection will also keep the interior of the vehicle cool which is a vital component to maximizing a battery’s state of charge. The rationale is that a cooler cabin results in less energy usage from the vehicle’s HVAC system, thus leading to longer driving range.

    • It appears to me that this is a key aspect of the 2030 initiative ideology. While the Rothschilds were indeed influential individuals who were able to sway governments, much like present-day billionaires, the true impetus for change stems from the omnipotent forces (Satan) shaping our world. In this case, there is a false God of this world. However, what drives action within a political framework? Power! What is unfolding before our eyes in today's world? The relentless struggle for power. The overwhelming tide of people rising. We cannot underestimate the direct and sinister influence of Satan in all of this. However, it is up to individuals to decide how they choose to worship God. Satanism, as a form of religion, cannot be regarded as a true religion. Consequently, just as ancient practices of child sacrifice had a place in God's world, such sacrifices would never be accepted by the True God of our universe. Despite the promising 2030 initiative for those involved, it is unfortunately disintegrating due to the actions of certain individuals in positions of authority. A recent incident serves as a glaring example, involving a conflict between peaceful Muslims and a Jewish representative that unfolded just this week. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/11/us-delegation-saudi-arabia-kippah?ref=upstract.com Saudi Arabia was among the countries that agreed to the initiative signed by approximately 179 nations in or around 1994. However, this initiative is now being undermined by the devil himself, who is sowing discord among the delegates due to the ongoing Jewish-Hamas (Palestine) conflict. Fostering antisemitism. What kind of sacrifice does Satan accept with the death of babies and children in places like Gaza, Ukraine, and other conflicts around the world, whether in the past or present, that God wouldn't? Whatever personal experiences we may have had with well-known individuals, true Christians understand that current events were foretold long ago, and nothing can prevent them from unfolding. What we are witnessing is the result of Satan's wrath upon humanity, as was predicted. A true religion will not involve itself in the politics of this world, as it is aware of the many detrimental factors associated with such engagement. It understands the true intentions of Satan for this world and wisely chooses to stay unaffected by them.
    • This idea that Satan can put Jews in power implies that God doesn't want Jews in power. But that would also imply that God only wants "Christians" including Hitler, Biden, Pol Pot, Chiang Kai-Shek, etc. 
    • @Mic Drop, I don't buy it. I watched the movie. It has all the hallmarks of the anti-semitic tropes that began to rise precipitously on social media during the last few years - pre-current-Gaza-war. And it has similarities to the same anti-semitic tropes that began to rise in Europe in the 900's to 1100's. It was back in the 500s AD/CE that many Khazars failed to take or keep land they fought for around what's now Ukraine and southern Russia. Khazars with a view to regaining power were still being driven out into the 900's. And therefore they migrated to what's now called Eastern Europe. It's also true that many of their groups converted to Judaism after settling in Eastern Europe. It's possibly also true that they could be hired as mercenaries even after their own designs on empire had dwindled.  But I think the film takes advantage of the fact that so few historical records have ever been considered reliable by the West when it comes to these regions. So it's easy to fill the vacuum with some very old antisemitic claims, fables, rumors, etc..  The mention of Eisenhower in the movie was kind of a giveaway, too. It's like, Oh NO! The United States had a Jew in power once. How on earth could THAT have happened? Could it be . . . SATAN??" Trying to tie a connection back to Babylonian Child Sacrifice Black Magick, Secret Satanism, and Baal worship has long been a trope for those who need to think that no Jews like the Rothschilds and Eisenhowers (????) etc would not have been able to get into power in otherwise "Christian" nations without help from Satan.    Does child sacrifice actually work to gain power?? Does drinking blood? Does pedophilia??? (also mentioned in the movie) Yes, it's an evil world and many people have evil ideologies based on greed and lust and ego. But how exactly does child sacrifice or pedophilia or drinking blood produce a more powerful nation or cabal of some kind? To me that's a giveaway that the authors know that the appeal will be to people who don't really care about actual historical evidence. Also, the author(s) of the video proved that they have not done much homework, but are just trying to fill that supposed knowledge gap by grasping at old paranoid and prejudicial premises. (BTW, my mother and grandmother, in 1941 and 1942, sat next to Dwight Eisenhower's mother at an assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses. The Eisenhower family had been involved in a couple of "Christian" religions and a couple of them associated with IBSA and JWs for many years.)
