Tesla Model X
Who would have thought that an SUV could accommodate seven people and accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 2.1 seconds? That’s what you get with the all-electric and almighty Model X Plaid (1,020 horsepower, 536 km of range). The more reasonable Long Range variant is rated at 670 horsepower, 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and 560 km of range. Alas, the Model X continues to suffer from build quality issues and gullwing rear doors that don’t like Canadian winters.
