TiAgX5 is on a distinguished road
I have a friend in Southlake TX with a Model S 85D, Tesla has picked it up with their "service transport" truck THREE TIMES because he has been unable to get in due to the door handles not extending during unlock process.

Even the best car in the world (online Tesla fanboy speak), is WORTHESS if you can't get inside it!

Elon Musk must have his head up his butt if he thinks a gullwing door SUV will save Tesla (different is NOT better Elon). Gullwing doors are for low/small sport coupes (easy access).

With gas under $2 & Audi entering the EV market with the E-Tron, the writing is on the wall for Tesla.

The Tesla vehicles are city/in town "look at me toys". I do regular runs between Coppell, TX and Spring Hill, FL (1100 miles) with a V8 E53, on ONE gas stop. The Tesla would need FOUR LONG recharge stops for this trip. It would need two recharge stops on a run from Dallas TX to El paso TX, one recharge stop from Detroit to Chicago!
