Test mules in the auto industry are an every day affair. It's the way business gets done. Now using a vehicle from another brand as a test mule, well, that's another thing all together.
Motor Authority is reporting that Tesla may be using Dodge Magnums as test mules for their upcoming hybrid Model S sedan (Tesla electric sedan to be built in California). Now if you're wondering why, consider that Tesla doesn't have a sedan of their own to use as a test mule. So using a Magnum, or a vehicle from any other car maker, is the only way for them to go.
