According to Elon Musk, CEO, Tesla Motors, “It's the largest piece of glass in a car ever, I believe.” The ‘Falcon Wing Doors’ at the rear seat open upward and hinging in the middle, which makes it easy to operate them in a tight parking spot. The doors scan the area surrounding the car and open the doors accordingly. Despite being a family car Model X will take just 3.2 seconds to do 0-60m/h.

A 17-inch LCD instrument cluster in the centre console will take care of all of driver’s needs. The sound system of the Model X has been built in-house and boasts of 560 watts and 17 speakers. The system has been developed keeping the essentials in mind which is to deliver best sound with smallest power consumption.
