Most reviews on the X is the P90D version, so it's good to see a review of the 'base' model.

Surprised to see the instrumented tests show a 0-60 time of 5.5 seconds and 1/4 mile of 14 seconds. So virtually the same straight line performance as my old Nissan 350Z which was sold as a 'sports' car, and featured on the cover of Forza motorsport / Fast and Furious :eek:.

For the 'base' version of a 6 seater, 2.5ton people carrier to match that is crazy, and for less running cost. I knew there was a reason I switched over to EVs :).

Cannot wait for our oversized, utterly ridiculous, totally pointless, unnecessary quick people carrier to arrive (y).

I was thinking about Model S, done one of the events & was going to order in August but lost some work because of Brexit so kicked it into next year (going to be company car). Now hauling bikes round on a tow bar mounted rack, so I guess X is the only option as I don't fancy them on the glass roof of the S. Not seen it in the flesh yet but I really like the shape of the S. Next time I'm in Stockport I'll see if there is one there
