Tesla Model X

Time for another post, here it is,

The Tesla Model X

(credit: caranddriver.com)

First of all, the X is a crossover. As you probably know, I don't like crossovers. I especially don't like electric ones, it just goes to show that it is a lousy poser attempt at an off road vehicle.
 There is nothing about the styling I like. Tesla just seems to be innovating for the sake of innovation. For example, are the gull-wing doors really necessary? They don't look good in the slightest, they are heavy, and probably took the engineers an extra month to figure out all of the problems gull-wing doors would cause on a crossover. I agree with MotorTrend's statement that the X looks like a cat, but with wheels instead of paws. The body shape makes the Tesla look like a crossed-over Prius.
For a sporty car, the X sure weighs a lot, it's curb weight is over 5,000 pounds. The range isn't that great, it's only 290 miles. A normal car probably gets that on a full tank of gas, but that is a manufacturer's estimate, so the actual range is probably much lower.
The price is quite high, the mid-level (the one you will actually buy) is $95,000! For that kind of money, I can buy a Dodge Viper GTC!

Do you have any thoughts about cats? What drives you crazy? I welcome any respectful comments so keep it clean!

One post on this blog, one post on A Good Popular Blog About Good Popular Cats (if possible) a week, so stay tuned!
