After much, much<\/em> talk, Elon Musk finally revealed his latest creation: the Model X SUV at an event in Fremont, CA last night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"78b91069-2de8-4230-9930-0f48d3aed12e_ORIGINAL-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Even though it\u2019s been about two years from the date Musk originally promised having the Model X finished, he must be proud to say that his company now offers, or has in the past, vehicles in three different segments: roadster, mid-size sedan and SUV.<\/p>\n

I guess the only real issue is that as the Model X has been fermenting over the last few years, other manufacturers have caught up on the styling front; it\u2019s hard not to see a little Mercdes-Benz GLE Coupe here, and a little BMW X4 there when it comes to the Model X\u2019s lines.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where the comparison stops, however. One you start opening the doors and really considering the Tesla, you can see how unique it is. The panorama windshield, for example, is the one of the biggest\u2014in not the<\/em> biggest\u2014we\u2019ve ever seen on a production car, and it does a good job lf reminding us what movies like Blade Runner<\/em> or I, Robot<\/em> imagined futuristic cars to look like.<\/p>\n

Then there are the doors; yes, they\u2019re roof-hinged gullwing-style, but we all wondered how they\u2019d work in the tight confines of the suburban mall parkade or your own garage. Well, what Tesla\u2019s done, is program sensors into each door to determine what\u2019s going on around them. They then use that information to automatically determine just how far they can open (they\u2019re automatic). Pretty cool.<\/p>\n

Or, consider the HVAC system. Which, apparently, uses such a robust HEPA filter that it would keep its occupants safe in the event of a biological attack. You read that right: there\u2019s a button marked with a biohazard warning sign that will actually keep the occupants safe should mustard gas mortars start detonating above. Weird? Yes. But then, remember: on Tesla\u2019s last big reveal, of the Model S P90D, some of the biggest news was that there was an \u201cLudicrous\u201d driving mode. Maybe the “bioweapon defense mode”\u00a0isn\u2019t so outlandish after all.<\/p>\n

Oh, speaking of \u201cLudicrous\u201d mode: the Model X gets one, too, assuming you spec the P90D version. That provides access to enough power to perform the 0-100 km\/h sprint in just over three seconds, an 11.7-second quarter mile and the ability to tow 5,000 lbs.<\/p>\n

If you spec the standard 90D vehicle, then you\u2019re stuck with \u201conly\u201d 518 horsepower, as opposed to the P90D\u2019s 762 hp.<\/p>\n

Of course, all this tech doesn\u2019t come cheap; expect a US $130,000 base MSRP when the Model X starts being more readily available; six people that attended the launch event already have theirs.<\/p>\n
