Wasn't too fussed at the first picture. After watching the video I am a fair bit more impressed. The Model S is still more my taste, but the Model X is pretty damn cool.

Still ridiculously disappointed about the livestream. Took time out of my day to watch it. They should of had myfreecams or pornhub host it, seems they have more capable engineers.

Ooh, got there too!

Thanks! I'm in!

Yeah I couldn't open those doors in my garage. Not enough head space. Not to mention the parkng garage. They won't make it like they currently are.

It didn't look like the doors went any higher than the tops of most trucks I've seen. Maybe 8' high.

Elon is over 6' I am pretty sure. Those doors are 7'+. My garage door opener is probably 7'2" Above the slab. My parking garage is less than 7'.

Well the body looks a lot lower than your typical SUV. I bet with the doors up it's no higher than a Suburban

That back does look a lot like an X6 or 550GT

Website still down here.

But more press appearing. This gives a good idea of the total height:

Musk said they give the Model X the largest door openings of any passenger car. Impressively, he was able to stand in the car, his head underneath the open door, without crouching.

 

[KBF]

Me too - hope it's worth staying up late. I want to hear Model S news, really... but X news tides me over. If only I didn't have crappy internet speeds.

That was nice, with the picture of his garage, and the point about SUV hatchbacks.

Edit: boy, would be nice to have this in a chat channel right now.

Elon says - if you can open the hatch of an SUV in the garage you can open these falcon doors.
