I was really curious how they were gonna make those rear doors work. I'm impressed with it. I am NOT an SUV fan, and I'll never own another one (I had a early 90's Jeep Cherokee for a while and I loved it, but that's nothing like today's SUV's), but if I HAD to pick one, this would be my only choice. Good job Tesla!

Really glad they went to the extra effort required to keep the doors true to the concept. It's not a very interesting shape but with doors that open like Marty McFly, it'll be a serious head turner.

I never imagined an American company would pull this off.

One of the many beautiful things about electric motors. Packaging options.

I was waiting for someone to mention that Tesla has a Ludicrous mode.

Yeah, I like Tesla Motors itself :) Great ideas, stubbornness of CEO - and new product? The X? Fantastic car. I had opportunity to drive P85D - undescribed joy of ride :)

Saw one on the road last week. Very unimpressive to look at, like a jacked up Prius with a Euro nose, but I bet it's great to drive.
