I can't help but thinking - when I was a kid, this is the kind of car I thought we would have when I was an adult. I recently watched "Revenge of the Electric Car" which heavily features Elon and Tesla. It's definitely an interesting story - and one that deserves to be told.<p>Electric cars obviously have many (and some major) problems. But I can't shake the feeling... I <i>want</i> cars like this to win. I still personally don't think I would want to spend this much on a car... but I'm really excited that we're finally getting true innovation in the auto industry.
Really hated this video/interview. Sometimes when someone is being interviewed it feels like they are directing the interview in their favour - in this interview it feels like Musk is directing the interview because the interviewer was incapable of doing it herself, and he was having to help her out.
Now this is an electric car I would definitely buy! The Roadster was meh (not a fan of compact sports cars), the Model S was good, the X is excellent - can't wait to see what they have in store next (a full sized SUV, maybe?).
The front looks beautiful, but the back (which is ugly) reminds me of a SsangYong Actyon (<a href="http://www.netcarshow.com/ssangyong/2006-actyon/800x600/wallpaper_05.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.netcarshow.com/ssangyong/2006-actyon/800x600/wall...</a>).
I'd love them to design the back similar to a BMW X6, which is also a Crossover-SUV, but looks great.
The performance and the price point is quite impressive though and I'm heavily rooting for them.
