The new Tesla X

Guess what it is the fastest SUV 0-60 3.2 seconds, top speed 155 mph. Of course it is electric!
AND
It can tow 5000 lbs. Not maybe a 40'TT but getting there LOL.

It must be time to go, the suns out and I've got a full tank of diesel!

Yah pretty pricey still. But any gas burner with that kind of performance is about the same....OR MORE.

Heck, we have people drive on the lot with F350 duallys worth about 80,000 bucks. And they use it to pull their fifth wheel south once a year. Different strokes...

I think any muscle car fan would be blown away by a ride in many of the electrics of today. Even the cheap ones. We have had more than a few people take a ride in our little smart ED and uttered a few "holy S..." expletives as it goes through the first 40 mph. The acceleration curve on the smart drops off to a more normal acceleration curve after the first 40 miles an hour or so but that first 40 mph is rather eye opening. Something like 4.2 seconds. Kinda fun. [emoticon]

John, I remember when I first got my Volt. People would come over and start conversations about it, they were impressed with it . what a kick.
Now with the X can you imagine pulling into the parking lot at the super market and hitting the button to activate those "falcon wings" for the back seat. I can hear the Wows now. Tough to get one now but in a couple years who knows......................

Yah, awesome car but unless I win the lottery out of my reach...then again, so is a ferrari. [emoticon]

Filled up with diesel yesterday at 1.04 per litre Can or roughly 2.95 American per gallon. We always seem to be a few cents per litre above the average here. No idea why.
