Without even really trying, the Tesla Model X made scores of headlines this week. Not only was it announced that its pricing will start at a sky high $132,000 — not including incentives, of course — but it will start being delivered on September 29.
Well, that's one helluva way to debut an all-new car. Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, continues to prove that an automotive company can, in fact, be run similarly to a technology company.
While exchanging text messages with the head honcho of AutoSpies, Agent 001, we started putting our heads together to really think this through. The toughest question to answer right now is whether or not the Model X will continue the Model S' success.
But then 001 dropped a bombshell on me. He thinks that the Model X will be the "IT" car of 2016.
Frankly, I am not so certain with the vehicle having such a high barrier of entry. Then again, the Model S is still in pretty high demand and high-end luxury sport-utility vehicles like the Land Rover Range Rover as getting snapped up VERY quick.
Will the Model X be the vehicle in every Hollywood A-lister's driveway? Will it be the next big thing and got-to-have accessory for those always looking to be ahead of the curve? How about Model S owners looking for a complement to their fleet?
What say you, Spies? Will the Tesla Model X be the "IT" car of 2016?
