That's the final design? Hideous.

Yeah, really.

Last I remember was the prototype and thought it looked nice, but this? This is bad.

 

[Synth_floyd]

It looks fine. Hopefully they'll tweak the "angry grill" but w/e.

The main problem is that it's an suv/crossover. Is there really a market for a luxury car like this? With the roadster there is a market for a luxury sports car. The model S is their luxury sedan. But the Model X? I don't see it selling but they must've decided that there is a market, otherwise they wouldn't make it.

I'm waiting for the Tesla Bluestar which is supposed to be their 20-30k regular car.

I'm not seeing it. and I don't mean the images or video.

For who is this car? It's a cheap family car right???

 

[Insane Metal]

I think it's beautiful. But that could just be because in my country we're used to driving things like this

If your family considers $50-100,000 cheap.

In the past I would have more readily agreed but these days with even the vaguest concepts of technology being rabidly patented and litigated over I'm fairly skeptical.

How long is a reasonable amount of time to expect a return on that $465 million investment in the form of Tesla producing a vehicle in the $25k-$40k range that competes with the Nissan Leaf? I'm somewhat disappointed that the first feature being hyped about the Tesla X is that it's quicker to 60 than a 911.

The Model S starts at $50k and optioned out it's $100k. And the $50k orders are all in the back of the line until the $100k orders are filled. The Tested.com guys described this as being a bit "shady"... I think they have a point. I wouldn't care if there weren't such a large amount of taxpayer money involved, FWIW.

Why are you talking about taxpayer money? The $465 million given to Tesla was a loan. It was not a bailout of any kind. The government gives loans to all types of companies in multiple industries.

I'll buy a Porsche Cayenne and duct tape my own iPad to the dash, thanks for the idea.

Tesla Motors will begin delivering its new all-electric SUV to customers at the end of the month with a price tag in the six figures for customized models.

CEO Elon Musk tweeted that Tesla's Fremont, California, factory will hand over the Model X starting on September 29th.

The company also invited selected customers to pre-order customized versions of the Model X at a beginning sticker price of $132,000.

A model upgraded with "ludicrous" speed — which can travel from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3.2 seconds instead of the Signature model's 3.8 — will run another $10,000.

A less expensive version of the Model X will become available at a later date; reports expect the price tag to start at about $75,000, although Tesla believes that qualifying tax credits and fuel savings should drop the car's actual cost to owners by thousands.

Musk also indicated that the forthcoming Tesla Model 3 — a smaller, cheaper alternative to the Model S — will require the use of the company's new battery factory in Nevada. Production is expected to begin in two years and pre-orders for the $35,000 car will begin in March 2016.

Friendly reminder that if you're hyped for the Model 3, that GM will beat Tesla to the punch by at least a full year with the Chevrolet Bolt EV.

Of course, Chevy also has desirable cars, like the Corvette Z06...

Knowing that Elon Musk cannot be bought, and his engineers too devoted to the cause of creating a breakthrough in modern transportation, Big Auto throws it's bribe money at the weak link in the chain: The Lead Designer
