Tesla Launches Model X
Tesla reveals its new electric cross-over styled SUV with seating for seven

With only one actual physical product sold (the roadster) Tesla has launched another new model. This one is a small SUV called the Model X. Seats 7 (although like the model S the rear seats are probably only a reality for small children), 0-60 in 4.4 and 200+ mile range. The crossover styled EV will come in rear-wheel and all-wheel drive versions, the latter with separate, independent motors for each axle.

The all-aluminum electric wagon shares roughly 60 percent of its parts with the company's Model S sedan. The new cross-over took center stage at Tesla's Los Angeles-area R&D center which is next door to company co-founder and CEO Elon Musk's private company SpaceX. Musk said Tesla would start taking reservations for the Model X on its Web site at noon today

I know there is a lot of negative sentiment here on TS towards electrics (countdown to Simba posting here?) and whether they'll be profitable, necessary, will anyone buy them and so on. Regardless, here it is:

 

*Waiting for Simba to chip in*

 

I like it. Those doors are gonna be a bitch to open in a garage or tight space, but other than that I'd do it.

 

I actually like it. Tesla is doing some good things.

 

I for one hope to see this company succeed, thanks for the post!

 

huge Ipad they got there,..

 

Looks amazing! Are the front doors gull wings as well??

 

I like it, but then again I like many concept cars, I'm a bit surprised to see that people like this though because most of the members on this forum seem to not like wild concepts. Maybe suicide doors would look better. Just like on the Spyker D8.

 

Looks cool. But how overpriced is it?

 

Too bad they can't produce cars without hundreds of millions of dollars in loans forcibly taken from the taxpayers by the government.
