Tesla Model X Signature - Extremely Fast and Extremely Expensive

Well, we lived to see him. After languishing and languishing for more than three years, Tesla Motors' newest addition, the Model X, just saw the light of day and cut the umbilical cord with engineers. Well, at least the Signature version. Elon Tusk says that the Model X will be a better crossover, that is, a combination of a sedan and a minivan, like the Model S sedan and the first electric crossover to hit the road. Also Slovenian. Although Tesla was literally "born" with the Model X, it already convinced many customers (he already received over 20,000 orders) who had to pay five (for the standard model) or 40 thousand US dollars (for the Signature model) down payment.

Tesla Model X it does not disappoint, but the price is for the version Signature of the X model, however, rather salty- 132 thousand US dollars (before tax). For this money, buyers will also get lift gate, which he already wore with great style Mercedes-Benz 300 SL back in 1952. At that time they were called "gull-wing doors", today they are called falcon wings ("falcon wing doors"), but in principle it is one and the same thing. This opening system is supposed to be in words Elon Musk made it easier to get in and out of the car, even if it was "drifting" in the parking lot. And what else will the buyer get for this "miniature Tesla S" with two trunks (front and back), which can carry seven people (three rows of seats)?

Tesla Model X will reach the first customers this month.

The Model X Signature will carry 90 kWh battery with range 386 kilometers, and the car will not be anything to go by as far as other characteristics are concerned. From 0 to 96 km/h, it launches itself into everything 3.8 seconds, electric motors, one on each axle (front s 262 hp, last s 510 hp), and they can push it to speed 250 km/h. For those willing to fork over an additional ten thousand American greenbacks, they will be able to get it "Ludicrous Speed Upgrade" package, which cuts acceleration by half a second (to 3.2 seconds), putting the Signature even ahead of the model With the P85D.

The Tesla Model X didn't drop a liftgate on its way from concept to production, as it likes to do.

Well, as standard, liftgates will be equipped with sensors that will prevent them from being tampered with "kissed" the ceiling, and they will be of great help to the driver automatic parking assistant and blind spot sensors. They will take care of your comfort heated and ventilated leather seats, and all owners will also have access to their fast ones Supercharger charging stations (we already have it in Ljubljana).

In addition to the above, there are many other technological treats such as air suspension with GPS memory and an upgraded sound system, and will also be available tow hitch with which, according to Tesla, you will be able to tow as much as 2.2 tons. Model X will be otherwise the first electric car that will allow towing a trailer. It is also offered as an option package "Subzero Weather", which includes a heated steering wheel, three-level heating for the second and third row of seats, a heated water spray nozzle and wiper defroster. You get all this if you add an extra $1,000. The Model X comes off the same assembly line as the Model S, with which it will share surroundings 60 percent of the components.
