now that the model-X seems almost official it might be a good idea to start a thread that is called only model-X, albeit under the future car heading until completely official?! so please moderators if you think other existing threads are a better start then at least re-name one to simply Model-X and put this one in there as well. or put them in under this one........ up to you.
on that note here we go.
for my family, sadly, the model-S is not optimal and I am therefore eagerly awaiting the model-X. We have multiple kids, multiple big dogs and usually lots of bagage. A crossover or a SUV type vehicle is really the only workable solution for us. right now we have one of the largest SUVs on the European market and even that seems small at times. However, with it's large but fairly frugal diesel engine it has great range and good acceleration and top speed with an "acceptable" CO2 emissions for now...........
so for TESLA to start thinking about some wishes for the X:
1 Needs to have lots of interior space with smart storage solutions. look at Renault and PSA for ideas
2 should come in both 4x4 and 2x4 drive configurations depending on individual needs
3 should have great range to be able to go for a full days driving with only minimal top-ups on the way, ie: between 400 and 500 mile range, if battery technology permits.......!
4 needs to have three phase charging capability even for the US since such a car would be ideal for the country set as well, and most estates/farms have three phase.
5 needs to seat 7 "conventionally" when needed
6 still needs good acceleration when needed, my current SUV does 0 to 62 in 6.5 which is very nice for long safe drives.
7 needs to be rugged, like the LR4 or the Audi Allroad.
these are some initial points I can think of on a wish list. I am sure there will be many more to come.
hopefully elon and his team do read these forums so our communal wishes are at least heard if not, ultimately, completely satisfied in the Ned product.
