Tesla unveils Model X SUV, wants to be your all-electric crossover come 2013

We're here at the Tesla Design Studio in Los Angeles, where Elon Musk just unveiled his startup's third vehicle: an SUV it calls the Model X. The 'ute sports some rather unique looking double-hinged "falcon wing" doors which it make loading people and things even easier in tight parking spaces than traditional gullwing doors -- Mercedes 300SL and DeLorean owners can chime in on their usefullness here. Powered by the same drivetrain as the Model S, the heavier, bigger-boned crossover still clocks in at a claimed 4.4 seconds to go from 0 to 60mph -- the same as the Model S' most performant variant (4.4). GigaOm scored an early ridealong, and mentions the $50,00 - $70,000 vehicle will seat 7 people when it sashays its way into dealerships come late 2013.
