You guys are comparing two different things. de704 is comparing the Model X with the Model S. AnOutsider is comparing an AWD Model X with the RWD Model X Tesla originally indicated would be available.

Correct. Bonnie probably missed that part of the reveal as she snuck off to the reservations tent
FTR: I would have gotten AWD anyway, and though I use the nook in my S, I didn't think twice about losing it for the sake of AWD.

Either way, there's still room for a body... errrr... plenty of stuff. Yeah. STUFF. So we're good.

Which is where you would have gone, had you remembered your checkbook.

Um, Isn't that the definition of "Compare"?
Or would you like me to compare a Model S to a Model S?S Frunk & X Frunk = Apples to Apples. IMHO
You like to poke at old wounds, don't you?

S Frunk & X Frunk = Apples to Apples. IMHO
What we're trying to convey is that, while yes, the Model X frunk does appear to be deeper than a Model S' frunk, it WAS stated that the AWD (read: front motor) configuration would take away from the frunk space by eliminating the tunnel to the back of the frunk.
Should be obvious that my point was that you two were making two different comparisons.Um, Isn't that the definition of "Compare"?

S frunk and X frunk are not apples to apples. They are two differently sized vehicles. Apples to Apples would be to compare the size of the funk in a standard Model S to the size of the frunk in a possible AWD Model S. I.e., you'd lose "the microwave".

Doug,
Can you suggest another Frunk I can "compare" it to then :wink:
(Ok, I will stop trolling now.)
BTW, The Model X IS based on the Model S. It's just taller. The wheel base and horizontal dimensions are pretty much the same as Model S from what I've seen.

The prototype's overhang doesn't seem much different the Model S in this picture. If they share the same platform my thought is the wheel base would be the same but perhaps not.
Big difference is the height.
I could imagine some kind of bumper/rear deck ski rack solution, but I don't see how something like a kayak or a sheet of plywood would work.
I'm also unconvinced that the doors would work after being left in a parking lot during a day of freezing rain.

Should be quite a bit of leverage against rooftop ice because of the way the door opens... Still, I would hope the motor would be strong enough to overcome any obstacle AND sensitive enough not demolish anything it might hit. Like heads... garage door openers... parking structures... A little moderation might be good too.

Interestingly, the reserve page says that even new signature reservations will deliver in 2015, which indicates under 900 signature deliveries in 2014, and likely no production deliveries in 2014 at all.
Seems like a healthy ramp up in production and QA is in order. I hope they resist all pressures to rush the Model X - for sakes of the car but also the company.
