Well, it has finally arrived. Originally slated to start production all the way back in 2013, Tesla just yesterday unveiled their long awaited Model X crossover SUV model; and it is every bit as cool as the public, and Wall Street analysts alike had hoped it to be.

The model itself is a sleek, svelte crossover; similar in its aerodynamic look to the flagship Tesla Model S. However, there are a number of notable differences. It has three rows of seating, which while seeming like a somewhat analogue selling point on this futuristic crossover, is very important for drivers with families. Also, the model uses a version of the dual-motor design that is included on the Model S, making it one of the fastest crossover models in production today, with a 0-60 time of only 3.2 seconds; the same as a Porsche 911 Turbo. In terms of range, it will boast about 250 miles per charge, slightly less than the Model S, but still very manageable from a logistical standpoint.
And did we mention the doors? This is not only the first three-row, all-electric family carrier, but its also the only one boasting Delorean doors. This means the doors open upright, instead of the usual push-out design. Pretty cool touch, if we do say so ourselves. Alas, its not all fun and games with the new Model X however, as the upcoming, initial edition of the crossover will be priced at $130,000.
