Typical "SUV". Basically an obese 5 door hatchback.
I think the technology is encouraging though. |

Seems a shame that Tesla don't just licence their technology to other manufacturers. Car production is about mass producing stuff reliably and efficiently and the major manufacturers have had plenty of practice.

I don't understand how that could possibly be described as a SUV (t reminds me of the Mondeo when it first appeared).

I don't dislike it and performance sounds good but it's only a road car not an off-road vehicle.
Watching my son and friends abusing electric remote control cars in the wet yesterday. I thought how good full size versions would be with flat tray bottoms, centrally mounted motor, no water intake issues...

Uncle has a fleet of about 10 electric hire bikes, absolutely amazed by how weather sealed they are,
I rode one up in the snow / wet etc and they are absolutely fine I might go put my name down for the Tesla  |

A couple of months back I was playing with an E Sled EV snowmobile. Amazing thing.
Me neither but that seems to be the industry definition. Same as the i pace, e tron etc. |
