Old software tho since it is missing "umbrella mode" or "low ceiling mode (china customers?)"Tesla showcased a Model X (and few Model S) at Launch Festival in San Francisco. I was luck to spend some time looking closely at the car.
Darn near got a heart attack from excitement after seeing my first X today! This was on I-5 in downtown Seattle as I had just landed for a business trip. My "X" Ray vision is always looking and I knew there were more delivered in Seattle than my home state of GA! Interestingly enough my passenger said "that is surprisingly small for an CUV/SUV." I felt that way as well but knowing the dimensions I know those lines play mind games and it's quite the sizeable beast.
My first impression from the backside was that it looked a little too frumpy and not as sexy as I had hoped. But, as we passed it and I got a glimpse of the front and side profile it changed from frumpy to gorgeous!
I'm fairly certain it is not 'the same shape'... I've not seen the car in person yet, but I've seen the front end in numerous colors and from multiple angles in photos. If you look closely, you'll see the 'mostly straight' area of the chrome surround is shaped similarly to what is on the Model S... But on the Model X it surrounds an opening, not a bulbous black piece of plastic. I actually love the grille-less front end because it reminds me of cars like RX-7, MR-2, Corvette, and a few Ferrari vehicles.
Yeah, in silver the Model X looks like an alien spacecraft/transport...
Seriously ?! Do tell.
