Fuck, I read all that and still no news of a Tesla Convertible. Bring back the Roaster! Any executive that opts to discontinue a 2-seater needs to be shot.



I wouldn't be surprised if the reason for a current lack of a convertible is a strategic move away from the following things:

1) making the cars even more expensive (by making) 2) things that have to high potential for fatality 3) things that require lots of engineering, testing and certification for a limited appeal/run (and thus limited profit)

It will be awhile on that convertible, I bet.

The Model X has gullwing(-like) doors.. That's pretty cool, right?

That is a truly awesome image. Here's the Model X: http://image.automobilemag.com/f/57687390+q100+re0/Tesla-Mod...


Does anybody know if those doors have cup-holders? Parents of small children might get a little surprise when they open up those doors if they do.

In any event, they seem more practical than regular doors and are certainly cooler than sliding doors.


That must have been a design tradeoff.

These are some pictures of the Model X, I have found. There are no "holes", only arm-rests. The black detail on the second picture must be the window control.

>> Bring back the Roaster!

I hope this isn't referring to the endless debates around whether the reports of Tesla fires is, or is not, on the wrong side of a Poisson distribution of such events... ;)
