I know you guys can’t stand Consumer Reports, however their automotive team is a bunch of enthusiasts who understand that “quirks” are not “personality traits.” I’m glad they are seeing that the Model X is a treatise on having the engineering follow the marketing. Not in the late 90's way you’re thinking of right now, but that old American 50's sense! Yes the Model X is cool, but it’s like saying you’re going camping and pulling up in this:

Awesome, but can you really call this camping?

Can you really call the Model X a car, or is it the start of a new vehicle class? Is the Model X a literal “mobile device?” Should we prepare to separate future vehicles into automobiles and mobile devices ?

Not only would I consider that vehicle camping, it’s really the only sort of camping I’m ok with.

You’re wrong. All you need is a tent, a sleeping bag, and some hiking gear. That’s camping.

You can come dig up my corpse, strap it to your backpack, and take it on one of those excursions. Because that’s the only way you’ll get me to go camping ever again.

Screw that. Myself. My dog. naked. In the woods with no tools. Only our hands and our minds, figuring out how not to eat each other and use our skin for warmth.. Now THAT is camping.

Yes, it's a car. No, in no way is it an entirely new class of anything.
