If you’ve been waiting for an electric SUV from Tesla, your wait is nearly over. The Tesla Model X will hit stores in 2014, boasting all new tech with a touchscreen dashboard to boot.
Its external structure offers a falcon-wing like design on its rear doors. The new Model X SUV has a 17-inch touchscreen dashboard which serves as its central console for connecting to the internet (but don’t tweet and drive). It has GPS active while driving as well as a multimedia stereo with a voice recognition program installed. Instead of numerous knobs and switches, this Tesla SUV has this panel as a controller of its entertainment system.
Innovative Design and Features
The falcon-wing doors are not just for show; they are designed to provide easier access to the rear seats, even in tight parking spaces. These doors open upwards, allowing passengers to enter and exit the vehicle without the usual hassle associated with traditional car doors. This is particularly beneficial for families with children or anyone who frequently uses the rear seats.
The 17-inch touchscreen dashboard is a significant leap forward in automotive technology. This large screen serves as the nerve center of the vehicle, controlling everything from navigation to entertainment. The GPS system is always active, ensuring that you never lose your way, while the multimedia stereo system offers a rich audio experience. The voice recognition program allows for hands-free control, making it safer to operate the vehicle’s features while driving.
Performance and Practicality
The Tesla Model X is not just about looks and tech; it also promises impressive performance. The electric motor provides instant torque, allowing for quick acceleration. Tesla claims that the Model X can go from 0 to 60 mph in under 5 seconds, making it one of the fastest SUVs on the market. Additionally, the vehicle is expected to have a range of around 300 miles on a single charge, making it practical for long-distance travel.
Safety is another area where the Model X excels. It comes equipped with advanced safety features, including automatic emergency braking, collision avoidance, and a suite of sensors that provide a 360-degree view around the vehicle. These features are designed to make driving safer and reduce the likelihood of accidents.
This car isn’t yet fully out in the market, only for pre-order basis. Apparently, it costs around $50,000 together with US government subsidies. The company announced that this car would not be released yet not sooner than 2013 or in the earlier part of 2014.
If you had the cash (as well as electric charging stations in your city), would you get one of these?
