MOTORS
The SUV Uncompromised:
TESLA MODEL X
MODEL X IS THE SAFEST, FASTEST AND MOST CAPABLE SPORT UTILITY
VEHICLE IN HISTORY. WITH ALL-WHEEL DRIVE AND A 100 KWH BATTERY
PROVIDING 351 MILES OF RANGE, MODEL X HAS AMPLE SEATING FOR SEVEN
ADULTS AND ALL OF THEIR GEAR. AND, IT’S LUDICROUSLY FAST, ACCELERATING
FROM 0 TO 60 MILES PER HOUR IN AS QUICK AS 2.9 SECONDS.
We took the Model X for a spin around Kent
and loved every minute, especially these
incredible features.
FALCON WING
Model X falcon wing doors offer unprecedented
convenience, entry and maneuverability. With less
space needed to open than the sliding door of a
minivan, the double-hinged doors make loading a
child in the backseat in tight parking spaces simple.
Why should the driver ever need to touch the door?
Auto presenting doors automatically open and close
as the driver approaches or exits Model X.
Unparalleled Safety
Built on the Tesla platform, the battery’s location
on the floor gives Model X an extremely low center
of gravity, reducing the risk of rollover common in
SUVs. Without an engine, Model X has a crumple
zone much larger than other SUVs to absorb the
energy of a front-end impact. Along with standard
active safety features, crash tests indicate that Model
X will receive a five-star safety rating in all categories,
the first SUV ever to do so.
EXTENDED WINDSHIELD
With a windshield that stretches up and over the
two front seats, passengers can experience an open
and modern feel with an expansive view ahead.
PLENTY OF SPACE
Three rows of seats, a front and rear trunk, room
under the second row seats, side pockets and a blind
holster for your iPhone; big or little, there’s a place
to store it in Model X. For even heavier cargo, Model
X is the first electric vehicle with a 5,000lb towing
capacity.
CLEAN AIR
Model X is the world’s cleanest SUV on the inside.
With a HEPA filter system, medical-grade air can
fill the cabin, no matter what is going on outside.
There are three modes: circulate with outside air,
recirculate inside air, and a bioweapon defense mode
that creates positive pressure inside the cabin to
protect occupants.
IT’S FAST!
Model X hits 0-60 mph in a staggering 3.2 seconds
getting to a top speed of 155 mph, all while producing
zero emissions. With an active spoiler that
automatically adjusts for maximum efficiency, Model
X has the lowest drag coefficient of any SUV.
