>> 5,000lb towing capacity Curious as to what happens to the range when you're towing a pair of jetskis.
Just enough from the garage to the boathouse probably.
Seriously I can see the numbers going down to 150mi range. Just a guess.

Except how is it generating positive internal pressure without storing compressed air somewhere?
I believe it's because pumping filtered air from the outside faster than it can escape from the cabin creates the positive internal pressure.
How is that a bioweapon defense then? Do HEPA filters work against bioweapons?

That is pretty amazing pricing. Most premium families would be looking to the Land Rover Evoque ($41K), BMW X5 ($54K) etc But Tesla is pricing it not to compete with the baseline Porsche Cayenne ($58K) but around the Cayenne Turbo S level ($157K). I guess they aren't planning on building a lot of them.
> premium families For a second I thought you are referring to 'premium family' as some kind of a social category.
Isn't he though?

See the Model S, which also competes with many, quality sedans from Mercedes, BMW etc.
Re: Meet Model X
#45Okay.. I'm a Model S owner and I love Tesla and I chuckled at the whole Insane mode and gave a bit of an amused snort at Ludicrous mode. This, however, really makes me wonder WTH is going on there: HEPA Air Filters "There are three modes: circulate with outside air, re-circulate inside air and a bioweapon defense mode that creates positive pressure inside the cabin to protect occupants ." EDIT: Very fair points about…
Sounds silly to most, but there are situations where you don't want unfiltered outside air leaking in. If "seriously filtered cabin air supply" is relatively easy to add, there's no downside to adding it. Here around Atlanta, the pollen count can exceed 5000 for weeks (and 500 is considered "extremely high"); a good filter would be dearly appreciated by many. For an interesting comparison re: "bioweapon", consider the armored luxury car market with product features such as http://www.caratsecurity.com/Products/sedans-and-SUVs.php

I spend a lot of time in a little ski town near me (Park City) that is absolutely covered in Porsche Cayenne Turbos. It's the perfect SUV for your family + ski gear + showing off just a little bit that you're really wealthy.
I have zero doubt the parking lots next to the ski slopes will be covered in Model X's in a couple of years.
Re: Meet Model X
#48Cool as this is, the only thing that sketches me out is the "automatic braking" feature. If I go to avoid something and it slams on the brakes, isn't that going to totally change my trajectory possibly causing an accident? Or a false positive causing heavy braking which someone could be surprised by and overcorrect for causing an accident?
Considering how many rear-end fender-benders I see on my daily commute, the benefits outweigh the risks.

And yours for just $149K.

Gull-wing doors seem less than perfect for transporting ski gear.
