Tesla Model X reveal: Video, photos, pricing, and specs for one shocking SUV

How about an electric model T that the common folks can afford? Give us something that will get 200 miles to the charge and cost 10 to 15 K. Ok to look like a box, will get us off oil kick and bring jobs to the USA. Just dont let it be built overseas!

since i can put solar panels on my house i can power this car for "free". suck on that, OPEC.

It seems like the only people getting the benefit of these electric cars and their inexpensive cost of operation are people who wouldn't have to worry if they had enough money to fill up their gas tank.

Some people complain about the price, as would I. Given the choice, I would definitely spend $50K on this than $50K on that Chevy Volt any day!

Hydrogen should be powering our power companys ! Burns clean and did a fine job getting appollo 11 to moon . electric cars can come into there own with a change in and out batterie pack new type of gas station , power station .

Give it time. The first microwave I bought cost $500.00
Time, improved batteries and demand will bring us better, cheaper electric cars.
The oil lobby is the only thing holding us back from the future

The more they keep buiding the electric cars the better they get good for short runs, to and from work Tesla has plans in the furure for battery swap outs similiar to gas stations but they will be built to slide out..This car company is starting to lead the way time to be weaned off gas like it or not this is the new jobs yet to be created but they are moving forward more and more.

It seems to me that the only true electric car would come from charging the car with solar power. We need to continue to minimize our reliance on oil and coal, but that is a long, long way off.

A) The correct automotive term is "Gull Wing". "Falcon Wing" is marketing spin.

B) Musks answer was a non-answer when asked about the DeLorean, but was an admission that there are many many people making the comparison. (DeLoreans remain collectible and run in the $200K range - is comparison bad?)

C) I was pleased to read (elsewhere) that the Tesla's AC induction motor uses no permanent magnets and that its batteries are Li-ion rather than the rare earth NiMH batteries required by some other motors. That means that the price should come down and that we should not be at the mercy of the Chinese (who have made a point of cornering the market on rare earth mineral deposits) for production.

D) The claimed range and performance are impressive and I hope they are accurate.

E) I earnestly hope that this vehicle is a success and is put into large scale production.

F) I eanestly hope that Federal and State Governments will offer tax breaks and sales tax breaks (not credits) as incentives during the early production and transition years of this technology.

I wonder what the charge time is and what the charge source is (special plugs? 120V?). I also wonder if owners will be required to run down their batteries to a certain level before recharging, so as not to damage the battery "memory". I wonder if there is a safeguard to prevent owners from running their batteries all the way down until they are ruined. I wonder how this vehicle performs in temperature extremes found in the various regions of our country. There are lots of unanswered questions, but it is exciting, none the less.

I find it ironic that people are talking about the price, yet give the Volt so much credit, which is actually around the same price as the Model S. The only difference is that the volt only goes 30-40 miles per charge where the Model S can range up to 300 miles and it looks so much better. Price will give down over time, just like their first sport car. This car is way ahead of anything else out there world wide, the best part is it is American.

Cool car for sure. But will those doors open without hitting my garage door when it's open?

Small company, no bailout, and compare the specs to the Volt. Another check for free market capitalism.

Like the majority of people in the US can afford a car like this with having the economy in the tank. Not know if you show up tomorrow at work if you are still going to be employed, with the exception of the executives of the company of course.

beautiful car

Another piece of fodder for the EV zealots. Expensive, limited capability, no real results, just "shoulds" that this administration supports with taxpayer money. The only real result is that taxpayer money is being wasted on coulda, woulda, shouda extremism that never pans out as promised.

Some electrical plants use natural gas, wind or hydro power to spin the turbines that make electricity.

Make one that is affordable.

Hey people your Tax $$ are paying for all the mucking around....this was given to PayPal CEO to play "electric car" with in California...a rest political gimmick!!!!

They sure look like gullwing doors. Mercedes had them long before DeLorean.

People keep saying...how do you get out if parked next to 2 cars...DUH..did you even watch the video??? It opens more up than out. Still dont like the car but watch before you make dumb comments!!!!!
