Will Model X be considered a "girl car?"

"When girls can go to school, and get a job, and pursue unlimited opportunity, that’s when a country can realize its full potential" —@POTUS

With apologies to the OP the reference to "a girl car" in the thread title is at least one, if not two, generations out of date.

I'd be interested to see the stats on this. Females do tend to prefer SUVs while males take sedans. Pretty sure there's an abundance of data to support that.

There is massive debate over whether the new pink iPhone 6S (Apple says "Rose Gold" but that is bs IMO, just like "Space Gray", lol what a joke... they should just call it what it is, pink and silver) is considered a girl phone or not. Here's what it looks like:

There has been much unpleasant debate in the Mac Rumors forum about the level of one's masculinity (or possible lack) for flaunting a pink iPhone 6s.

:biggrin:

But back to the topic at hand:

I remember Elon stated that Tesla wanted to make the car more appealing to women drivers than Model S has been. However, that does not make Model X a "girl car", because I believe this means that Model X is made to appeal to everyone.

Overall, I do not find the Model X design to be gender biased in any way. Model X's shape is dictated by interior space requirements and exterior aerodynamic considerations.

Is the Model X a "girl car?" I dunno. Do you consider the Model S a "boy car?"

Are you hoping you'll be able to put a Model X and a Model S together in a garage and 9 months later have a Model 3?

Because otherwise I don't see why it matters.

LOL, perfect...

The same debate happened with the white iphone..........gay guys and girls had it.

That's quite a generalization...did Lesbians choose white too(and will they choose pink) or did they opt for some color which all Lesbian choose? Do you think perhaps a straight man, secure in his own masculinity, might have chosen white? What color do transgender people choose?

I've got a two year old at home who is quite interested in anatomical differences right now. So I'll just say what I do to her, "boys have penises, girls have vaginas and Teslas don't have either."

:biggrin:

I chose a gold iPhone 5S and my wife is pretty sure that I'm not gay . Come on, a car is neither a girls car or a boys car. There may be a gender bias in who chooses to buy a specific type of car.

But the Model X is a practical car for families, people with tons of stuff to carry and people who want an electric vehicle that can tow something.

I am actually more excited to have this vehicle than my wife, she is concerned it'll be too large. We are planning to reserve the model 3 in March - that'll be her car ;-)

Awesome. I approve this message.

 

[Discoducky]

I'm going to check back in on this thread periodically to see how many folks say weird things.

Ahh, I remember it well at the first Teslive...everyone with a "13" by their screenname knows that I mean

I had to finish reading the rest of the sentence to see what you really meant. lol.

My thoughts exactly!

 

[LSULSU]

I didn't intend the phrase "girl car" as pejorative. Perhaps I should have asked "Will the MX appeal disproportionately to those who presently identify as female?" I was just trying to be succinct.
