Car Tech - Tesla Model X: First drive of the all-electric SUV

2015-09-29
you ready for this in the backseat here we go all right first impression behind the wheel of the car is that it looks and feels a lot like a Model S but your perspective is higher you've got a better visibility especially thanks to the panoramic windscreen which goes all the way up over your head and then some performance of the car feels very good ludicrous mode feels very good indeed zero to 60 in 3.2 seconds that's just four tenths of a second slower than the Model S and very quick for a car of this size even the slower cars will do 0 to 60 in under 4 seconds which is absolutely unheard of in this category of car it handles very well as well not quite as well as the Model S but again compared to other SUVs it feels really great on the road especially going through the twisty bits so the basic idea is that the doors open really wide in high so if you need to put someone in a child seat for example you can reach in here really easily without having to duck down or tuck behind seats it's actually nice and easy to to get in the seat back here on the seats pushed up kind of far but I can move it back this these are mounted on central pillars which makes them easier to get in and out there's also room underneath the seat so you can run some packages behind and when you're ready to go just push this button and after the beep doors start to come down just that easily now in case you're worried about these doors hitting the roof of your parking garage or that kind of thing there are ultrasonic sensors up there much like a parking sensor they'll detect if there's anything above that'll keep the door from opening the doors will always open to some degree so you can always kind of sneak out but they will at least not run in your ceiling which is a good thing at tonight's event the first five lucky mile X runners will take home their SUVs right now Tesla's only selling the Signature Edition starting at a whopping 132 thousand dollars the lower cost model we're going to have to wait for that we're gonna have to be waiting a long time before you and I can buy one too they've got some 30,000 pre-orders to get through before anybody will be able to go into a store and buy one but right now it's a great start the car drives great it feels great it's really high-end it's a step forward I'm looking forward to seeing more of these on the road you well the Headroom isn't so great but what kind of cosy back here certainly better than the station wagon my parents had when I was a kid
