Edwin Chan, for the Globe and Mail:

Tesla Motors Inc. on Thursday showed off a prototype of its Model X, a battery-powered SUV that represents the company’s bet that consumers will buy a range of electric vehicles spun from a common platform.The Model X, which features what the company calls “falcon-wing” doors and faster acceleration than a Porsche 911 – it goes from 0 to 100 km/h per hour in 4.4 seconds – will start production late 2013 and begin delivery in 2014.

It won’t be cheap, but it sure is cool-looking, for an SUV.
