 Hey, this is Chris from The Verge, and we are here at the launch of the Model X. Now, of course, this isn't the first time we're seeing the Model X. It's been kicking around for a number of years, but only in concept form. Tonight, we're finally seeing the production version of the car, and we're not just seeing it, they're actually handing the keys over to the first customer. So it's kind of a big deal, and we had a chance to drive it earlier, and I can tell you, this is kind of an insane car. This isn't an SUV. I mean, it is. It looks like an SUV, right? But you realize that it's actually a Model S in different clothes. The body is that of an SUV, but the heart, the soul, is of a Model S. And what that means is that it is extremely high performance. We took it down to straightaway with ludicrous mode turned on, 0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds, and it has that same glue you to the back of your seat feeling that the Model S gives you. It's pretty wild. But that's not all this car is about. It also has the Falcon wing doors that Elon Musk has been talking about for a number of years. They are so named because they have sort of this hinge in the middle so that they open like a wing, for lack of a better description. The idea being that you can stand up inside the car, which is handy if you have to put a car seat in the back. This is a utilitarian car, and this is a utilitarian feature. It just happens to go as fast as a Porsche 911 Turbo. It has the largest windshield of any production car, which doesn't sound like that big of a deal. Who cares? And I didn't really care either until I got in the driver's seat, and I looked straight up and realized that I was seeing nothing but sky. But when you have that effect, you feel all encompassed by the outdoors. You don't feel trapped by the inside of the car. It really is kind of an amazing effect, and there's no other way to describe it but to try it out for yourself. So this car isn't cheap. It starts under $100,000, but it can go as high as $142,000 if you get the P90D with ludicrous mode. Let me break down what that means for you. The P is for performance mode. It's the high-performance version of the car. 90 is for 90 kilowatt hour, 90 kilowatt hour battery pack, which is the only battery pack they're offering with this car right now. And that'll give you a range of around 250 to 260 miles, somewhere in there. It's very slightly lower than the Model S with the same powertrain, but not a lot less. And then the D stands for dual motor. This is an all-wheel drive vehicle. Isn't offered in a rear-wheel drive configuration. It's all-wheel drive only. So if you're looking for the fastest SUV on the planet, if you're looking for arguably the most luxurious SUV on the planet outside of something like a Bentley, and if you're looking for the coolest SUV on the planet, I think you've found your answer.
 Hey, this is Chris from The Verge, and we are here at the launch of the Model X.
 Now, of course, this isn't the first time we're seeing the Model X.
 It's been kicking around for a number of years, but only in concept form.
 Tonight, we're finally seeing the production version of the car, and we're not just seeing
 it, they're actually handing the keys over to the first customer.
 So it's kind of a big deal, and we had a chance to drive it earlier, and I can tell you, this
 is kind of an insane car.
 This isn't an SUV.
 I mean, it is.
 It looks like an SUV, right?
 But you realize that it's actually a Model S in different clothes.
 The body is that of an SUV, but the heart, the soul, is of a Model S. And what that means
 is that it is extremely high performance.
 We took it down to straightaway with ludicrous mode turned on, 0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds, and
 it has that same glue you to the back of your seat feeling that the Model S gives you.
 It's pretty wild.
 But that's not all this car is about.
 It also has the Falcon wing doors that Elon Musk has been talking about for a number of
 years.
 They are so named because they have sort of this hinge in the middle so that they open
 like a wing, for lack of a better description.
 The idea being that you can stand up inside the car, which is handy if you have to put
 a car seat in the back.
