We’re here at the Tesla Design Studio in Los Angeles, where Elon Musk just unveiled his startup’s third vehicle: an SUV it calls the Model X. The ‘ute sports some rather unique looking “falcon wing” doors which, like the Lambo-styled ports your cousin just put on his Acura, make loading people and things even easier in tight parking spaces. Powered by the same drivetrain as the Model S, the heavier, bigger-boned crossover naturally is a little more languid in its sprint from 0-60, clocking in at a claimed 4.4 seconds – the same as the Model S’ most performant variant (4.4). GigaOm scored an early ridealong, and mentions the $50,00 - $70,000 vehicle will seat 7 people when it sashays its way into dealerships come late 2013.
