Environmentally friendly travel is fun, but you may not with that giant on the bridge.

About the new Tesla Model X is already much said and written. Mostly negative, people don’t think of him as beautiful, I’m me positive. Also the rear gull-wing doors are a separate case. It takes, according to our Wouter almost half a minute to open them and to close, what best to is if you’re a bit hasty want to drive. Further, we find him, especially not pretty, but that I had already said.

But now, there is still a problem with the Tesla. Because of his size and that huge battery pack, it is so heavy, that he, in any case, in New York, over the Brooklyn Bridge can drive. And that’s the best thing, because NY is a good market. There is namely a weight limit of 3 tonnes for that bridge, 3000 metric kilos. And the Model X is heavier. Not a whole lot, but still. Look, on this sticker is its weight.

And this is the proof that Elon so with a different car to his abode in the Big Apple.

As each country has its problems. With us you will have low emission zones, in the U.S., they are suddenly against obesity. But well, it’s still better than in Singapore, where you just for the emissions of your EV must be the rags!

UPDATE: the kerb weight of the Model X is about 2450 kg 3070 kg is his maximum allowable weight, including cargo and all passengers. That doesn’t get you quickly, perhaps with four corpulent Americans and ditto messages. But well, that’s not likely.

With thanks to David for the tip!
