Model X matches Model S in performance

A large number of those who booked Model X already owns a Model S or a Roadster model, reflecting that they are satisfied and happy with the performance of models they own and thus are looking forward to buy Model X.

Model X has a sitting capacity of seven passengers, and the chassis slightly varies from that of the Model S. customers can opt for a 60 kilowatt hour or 85 kilowatt hour battery pack, and an option for all-wheel-drive capability via two powerful electric motors. Despite the Model X being a bit heavier when compared to the Model S, it still matches the Model S performance of 60 mph in less than five seconds, as the SUV is equipped with extra torque in the optional all-wheel drive system.

The most stylish and striking feature of the Model X is the patented Falcon wing rear doors replacing the hinged doors. The rear doors turn up like gull wing windows but fold while turning up, allowing ease of use for passengers.

Interiors of the Model X are similar to the Model S, including a 17-inch display screen. Some of the customizable features of the Model S are also present in the Model X.
