Tesla Motors
Today, the ultimate luxury electric car hits the road. Yes, Tesla cars were always definably high-end. But the new Model X elevates the company to new levels of tech-era opulence. Wired, never one to fling adjectives with abandon, calls the Model X “gorgeous.”
Its dramatic details are many: a “bioweapon defense mode,” meant to filter air in the event of chemical warfare; falcon-wing doors (gull-wing doors are so 2014!); a cellphone holster than can handle any version of iPhone you have; and the “infinitely adjustable” backseats. What doesn’t come with the car? Its own charging station.
And while you don’t need a separate car-charging station for it, if you can afford the Tesla Model X—the “signature” base model starts at $132,000—maybe a luxury house equipped with a station is in your future, too?
While you can charge your electric car at an ordinary 110-volt household outlet, according to the Tesla website, it will charge much faster at a dedicated 240-volt station. Below, three homes with charging stations so your Tesla X can hit the road that much faster.
