MrDoctor Report post Posted February 10, 2012 http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/09/tesla-u...ectric-crossov/ We're here at the Tesla Design Studio in Los Angeles, where Elon Musk just unveiled his startup's third vehicle: an SUV it calls the Model X. The 'ute sports some rather unique looking double-hinged "falcon wing" rear doors which it make loading people and things easier as you reach into the car, not over it. According to Musk they'll open in tighter spots than a traditional door, opening high enough to fit even a standing human. Powered by an AWD variant of the Model S drivetrain, despite the larger shell, its most performant offering still clocks in at a 4.4 seconds to go from 0-60MPH -- matching the most brawny variant of the Model S. And because it's devoid of a space-hogging ICE, that front portion's a trunk that Elon lovingly calls the "Frunk." Per GigaOm, the seven-seater will cost in the $50,000 to $70,000 range, with first deliveries of the "Signature Series" arriving in 2013 before mass production begins in 2014. If that sounds like you're kind of beat, Those interested can begin reservations on Tesla's website tomorrow at noon. I'm really liking the direction of this company.

baazinakon Report post Posted February 10, 2012 They finally make a car that makes sense, well kind of. Doesn't make sense to own a vehicle that has very little range and takes forever to "re-fuel", however it does make a lot more sense than a soul-less sports car.
