The important thing is whether the batteries will fail like they did on the Roadster during the Top Gear review.

Are we forgetting he had to rase the price of the already expensive first car. How does anybody think they can deliver on these prices.

Trent Griffin Feb 20, 2012
I bet they don't want to be bought...this could be a very lucrative venture....

James E Caldwell Feb 20, 2012
I bet they start talking about a model Y before the S comes out. They are just treading water hoping some larger company buys them out. Good luck.

Walter Alexander Thomas Feb 20, 2012
I find it funny. No one knows how the production model looks. I guess riches can throw out money like that with no problems. But that's a good thing. And it's something to look forward to. :-)

Axel Cousins Feb 20, 2012
Wow. But I hope delay the model X like they have been with the model S. It is kind of annoying how they keep delaying it.

Wow, so this is what our family friend reserved from tesla. This looks pretty good, looks like a crossover but not on steroids like the BMW x6 :p

Aston Martin is bring back Lagonda as a SUV-only manufacturer. Their concept did look like this but it had a large boxy front with a sqaure-ish grille.

John Serely Feb 20, 2012
I think it looks pretty good, but I would never buy one.

It goes more straight up than you think. It won't be a huge problem.

Andrew Elderkin Nov 03, 2012
Exactly. I don't think many of those 5,000 people know what they're getting into with gullwings. Notice the newest Mercedes SLS AMG has a traditional door option.

It looks good with this color but since it's ev I'd rather have gas or diesel.

Dale Schroeder Feb 20, 2012
Only thing I'm not really keen is the tiny headlights, that aside the styling isn't bad at all. Let's hope the range and performance are able to justify the cost of ownership.

Just like regular cars are useful until you run out of gas....duh.

Kevin Rehbock Feb 20, 2012
Useful until you run out of juice, Hank.

Hank Austin Feb 20, 2012
Back kinda reminds me of an X6... But at least this car will be useful

Brandon L. Leak Feb 20, 2012
No that's an open door....hmm

Andrew Wright Feb 20, 2012
I see it too. I think it's a reflection from something dark above it in the window

Christian De Prisco Feb 20, 2012
Driving with the doors open??

That is kinda weirdly placed and sized.. Doesn't really flow with the rest of the car.

Brandon L. Leak Feb 20, 2012
That's a really big iPad! Lol what is that?
