Assuming that the Model X has the same options and pricing as the Model S. My Model X is gong to cost me about $80K (and that's 60 kWh)! $59,900 60 kWh Model X $7,500 AWD Option $750 Metallic Paint $1,500 Nappa Leather $3,500 21" Wheels $3,750 Tech Package $950 Sound...

I had an interesting thought I wanted to pose as a question. What if in 2014 when the Model X is rolled out you have the option of spending $10,000 to get (a) the Performance edition with an 85 kWh battery OR (b) a 110 KWh battery with a 0-60 time of 5.3s and an extra 60 miles of range (315...

Posting some pictures now. Going to come back a little later and post some prices and thoughts. To me the BMW X6 looks more angular and more masculine. The Tesla Model X looks more fluidic and less aggressive than the X6. Part of this is necessity for coefficient of drag and part of this is...

Looking at competitors: Acura Audi BMW Infiniti Land Rover Lexus Mercedes With the exception of Infiniti, every luxury SUV/CUV priced at $40,000 or higher has AWD standard. For luxury SUVs/CUVs under $40,000 (and for Infiniti) adding the AWD option costs about $1,400 - $3,100. The Model X is...

On a lark I watched the recruitment video on Tesla's career page and at 1:23 in the video they showed a clay model which at first glance looks like Model S but upon closer examination may be BlueStar since it looks to be a shorter wheelbase with shorter overhangs. What do you think...

Elon Musk To Divorce Wife Talulah Riley - Forbes Posted on Twitter:

I spend way too much time on this website tracking all that has been said about the Model S but I have not heard any discussion yet about the "missing 5 kWh." When adding 20 kWh, by moving up from the 40 kWh pack to the 60 kWh pack, range jumps by 70 miles from 160 to 230 miles. This is...

Sorry for making a question into a new thread but I could have sworn it was said in this forum in the last few days that the SMALLER battery packs would be FASTER 0-30? The idea was the torque curve was the same for all the packs up to 30 so the reduced weight would allow smaller packs to be...

When traveling at 75 mph (highway speeds) you get only 70% of the range you would receive at 55 mph. In addition the battery capacity is reduced by 30% after 6-9 years. Therefore your highway range (@ 75 mph) with an 85 kWh pack will be 210 miles initially and around the time the warranty...

Model S will NOT be the first because the 2012 Chevy Camaro has already aced the test: 2012 Chevrolet Camaro becomes first car to ace all NHTSA safety tests

Elon Musk said on the earnings conference call that Tesla would have an exciting inter-city charging network announcement (if he said when, I didn't hear it). He also made it sound like there would be some benefits to 300 mile pack owners with regards to the charging network. I can only...

Elon Musk said on the earnings call today that if you buy a car with the 300 mile pack you will have a longer warranty than the other packs. A Tesla employee explained this to me at the October 1 event. Because the average person drives say 40 miles per day. The 300 mile pack is only...

Tesla used to tell investors that they would build 4 vehicles off the Model S "skateboard" platform: Sedan SUV/Crossover Van Cabriolet Now they simply say: Model S Model X Future Product Future Product From what we've heard about the Model X, it will have a stretched...

The Model S is an awesome looking car and I love it. But it is going up against a pretty awesome car in terms of the BMW 5 Series. The 0-60 times of 5.6 Standard and 4.5 Sport just match the 0-60 times of the 535i and M5 respectively (with the 550i slotting in between at 5.0 seconds). And the...

I was able to snap this picture of the FRont trUNK.

2012 Tesla Model S Prototype Spy Shots: Exclusive The guy posting these pics makes it sound like this is "closer that the Alpha build" to the final Model S, but it looks to me like it's got camouflage and some parts missing (like the door handles).
