    BMW CEO says Model X only a prototype and hits his head on Falcon Wing Doors

    Beh. Like I care if the car gets a bit ragged? Porsche say 2 years or 30.000 kms so I am sticking to that!! The car is nearly 5 years old so it's barely worth more than a Tesla Falcon Wing door anyways. p.s. Funnily enough in theory I should be driving a Model X at the time of writing...

    BMW CEO says Model X only a prototype and hits his head on Falcon Wing Doors

    I cancelled my reservation last week, but one of my concerns was possible longterm issues with those doors. Hopefully they will be OK, but they sound quite complicated so it was a slight worry for me. I am not really a car "geek" and I loathe the service trip I currently have to make every 2...

    BMW CEO says Model X only a prototype and hits his head on Falcon Wing Doors

    Let's hope they are cleverer engineers than the Swiss ones that failed to make working doors.

    I think calling it a prototype was kinda witty for an off-the-cuff comment actually - but depends on your sense of humour.

    Tesla are years behind Tesla in the EV space. :wink: Quote from some bloke in November 2013 called Elon Musk that works round there on a part-time basis: "I think for the X, we are aiming for maybe a few units at the end of next year, but volume production is – it’s a high volume production...

    Model X spotted in Europe?

    Based on the speed of Tesla production your car should still be in great condition in 10 years time as it will only have just rolled out the factory.......

    Model X configuration open in EU

    Ha Haaaaa. You could have mine for free if it was transferable!! I just want my €4.000 back from Tesla. It has already been very clearly proven that a reservation number is worth nothing.

    Review calls Tesla's Motor subpar

    Ummmm....errrrr. Do those 6 words alone not kinda backup the "motors are dodgy" camp rather than the other way around? Just sayin. I am sure you like the car - but you did need a new drive unit!!! I know they have an 8 year warranty but I would personally now be nervous about buying a 6 year...

    "Met the X" yesterday...meh

    @djbakasan - logical and concise post fellah. Respect. I think what we see on the forum is a lot of naturally human cognitive biases. For instance: 2. Post-purchase rationalisationAfter we buy something that’s not right, we convince ourselves it is right. Most people refuse to accept they’ve...

    "Met the X" yesterday...meh

    My 12 month journey has also just ended in cancelling my order here in Germany. March last year when I placed my deposit I was quite excited and even bought some Tesla shares. Obviously the only information I have had since then (you get nothing from Tesla) has been on this forum, and combined...

    Model X spotted in Europe?

    Fortunately these things are all down to personal choices. I just would not personally get €180.000 of satisfaction out of my spend. My old Panamera 4S is probably worth less than €50k these days but I use it to carry trash down the dump and fill it with skis, snowboards, wakeboards, dogs...

    Elon: Model X Q2 Production 1,000 per week

    Wow - just in last 24 hours and I can see: "In Germany, a fully loaded Model X P90D will reportedly cost €172,000 ($187,000)" Holy crap!!

    I don't think Elon got that memo.
