Finally, Tesla has come out with an SUV. Please don’t get me wrong I like the sports car, but it wasn’t very realistic for those of us with the family that lives in the carpool lane. For the parents that live for safety, it is hands down the safest SUV to hit the streets. And talk about clean air its air filter are 10x bigger than industry standard and 800X more purifying to viruses. Not to mention, the bioweapon defense mode button aka apocalypse button. Elon is you trying to tell me something…. WOW It gets, even more, grand with the chauffeur feature opening the door when you come to the car and close it when you sit down. Elon also added the convertible style falcon wing backdoors to be able to put the kids in the back seat easier without putting any strain on your back, and the two hinges move up and outward to make the backdoors more functional than a traditional minivan backdoor when pulled into tight spaces. He also put in consideration that some people have garages with a low roof height, so the back car doors have sensors embedded in the car to make sure that don’t open higher than the ceiling. Want a road trip? It’s even capable of towing up to 5,000 lbs. And for those of you, that like to cycle he also created an accessory hinge that can carry up to 4 bikes or sets of skies on the back of the car that takes ten secs to install which doesn’t affect your truck space at all. Here’s where he lost me. This vehicle is priced between $83,00-$150,000 to purchase and leased out at $2,100 a month with $8,000 down at signing.
I was all in until I got hit with that price tag. Can we come up with the "hood rich" version of this like Chrysler did with the 2012 300 Sedan in comparison to the Rolls-Royce Phantom 2011 Sedan? That’s my challenge to you Ford, Chrysler, Lincoln, and Chevy cause Elon as much as I love you the way checking account is set up...it’s not connected to my savings, and I’m not sure I can swing it. Also, is it just me but every time I hear CEO and Founder Elon Musk talk I fall in love with him all over again. It’s a lot to be said about a man that works that hard to create a fancy to life. You can hear the passion in his voice,
and he is funny too. Do they make a chocolate version of Elon? If so I’m open to a blind date. The men got vision and bring it to life. Hats off to you Elon.
