Hands-on video with Tesla’s electric Model X

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.

I'm not sure if the coolness factor of the gull-wing doors (as opposed to, say, sliding doors) compensates for their incompatibility with a roof rack.

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.

Too bad that clearance in underground parking spaces means you'll be trapped inside...

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.

I know that it doesn't matter much, but as 19yo kid, it's the first mini-van/SUV/whatever, that I have <i>I want it</i> feelings towards to.

Way too cool to deserve the "minivan" title

The glare on that 17inch touchscreen was quite bad. I think the angle it's mounted at doesn't help either.

I really thought that the people at Tesla were smart enough to make usable electric cars. Not toys for rich people.
