Tesla Model X: a nod to the real DeLorean car to Back to the Future – Hypertext

Now is the predicted Tesla Model X , the new model of the company with a price of $ 130,000. Aesthetically seems a nod to all Back to the Future with its doors Hawk, formerly known as gullwing views Ferrari and Lamborghini models mainly. These doors detect our presence close to open, it is not necessary even to touch or manually activate a remote control. And if we close the doors to open barriers, as parked cars too close, the Model X detects and opens differently, more vertically to avoid hitting them. They also have sensors to not bump into the roof of a garage, for example.

One of his key points was autonomy that reaches 402 kilometers as Tesla. Its acceleration is 3.8 seconds to go from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour and a maximum speed of 240 kilometers per hour. And above all, it stresses the car seven seats , distributed in two rows in front, three in the middle and one behind. And speaking of “behind” the Model X has a load capacity of 2,200 kilos of trailer, something that seemed impossible in an electric car.

The Model X also includes a system of cameras and sensors to security. For example, “rectified” the driver if he goes out of the road. However, it can be cataloged, much less as an autonomous vehicle, and a priori 7.0 update itself and get what was coming this year, still have to wait. Also it is taken into account driving in polluted areas: the electric motor has three particulate filters to keep it clean even if we live or routinely drive by directly anti-ecological zones. These filters, ten times larger than traditional, also retain up to 800 times. We have also shown a button that literally seals the car’s exterior, which could even withstand us … inside a biological attack. It seemed a joke, but no.

In the coming weeks the first Tesla Model X will be coming to California’s roads, where the company is headquartered and vegetables are produced. However, it arrives with some delay compared to the initial plans, which placed him in February. During the presentation was expected to Elon Musk ruling on the Volkswagen case but did not.

Even still needed to see if the prophecy of Musk is true and we see over the next few years they come in so massive electric cars to “low” prices, estimated at around $ 35,000 for the first stage of overcrowding. Tesla plans to produce 500,000 pass cars a year by 2020.
