A ~5,300lb (2,400 kg) full-sized all-electric crossover
SUV with falcon-wing styled rear doors. The same doors that halted delivery of the vehicle by 4-6 months and forced engineers to develope new ultra-
sonic sensors that could see through aluminum. The P90D version goes 0-60 mph (0-100 kph) in 3.2 supercar crushing seconds and takes it to the 1/4 mile (400 meters) in 11.6 seconds, faster than any production
SUV built in
history. This is done using its 762 combined horsepower dual-electric motors.
Model X boasts the first true HEPA filter to be put in a
car. Tesla claims that no viruses, bacteria or spores can be detected in the cabin. The
car is the only fully-electric vehicle with a towing-capacity of up to 5,000 pounds (2,300 kg).
CEO of Tesla Motors, Elon Musk, said in an interview about the Tesla Model X, "I'm not sure anyone should have made this
car ... it's
like, really hard to build."
He then went on to say, "There are so many more features and difficult to build parts on the Model X than it is necessary for us to sell the
car."
