First Tesla Model X I've seen in the whole spotted today while I was picking folks up from the Station.
Not actually as much of a tank as I expected it to be.

No, they're quite sleek for a modern. I see one every day at work.
Look at the dash. The LCD screen is the size of a domestic wide-screen TV!

The way things are going, might only be a matter of time before LCD covers the whole of the front windscreen. Why look at reality when you can look at enhanced VR?

That might have distinct benefits in bad weather Chris...
Plus the opportunity for a decent HUD, traffic info display and so on. Imagine a satnav working on a real representation of the road ahead...
The opportunities are endless; limited only by imagination

Maybe they are coloured by region and our colour is sliver perhaps and yours is white!
