Tesla Model X Performance Video Review – We drive the only one in SA!

We got the exclusive opportunity to drive the only Tesla Model X Performance in South Africa!

A huge thank you to Rubicon for making this happen, Ciro won’t shut up about it.

As the official distributor of Tesla Energy products in South Africa (such as the Tesla PowerWall), Rubicon South Africa worked for months to legally import a Model X into South Africa.

And it has been a huge success. The car is the best rolling billboard you could hope for, attracting attention wherever it goes.

The Rubicon team also tours the country with it, proving you can do long-distance road trips in South Africa with an electric car.

For our video guy, Ciro De Siena, this was a career highlight and a dream come true. We were afforded a few hours with the Tesla Model X and produced this video for you. Watch as Ciro takes you through the awesome infotainment system, plays Asteroids with the steering wheel, experiences the ludicrous acceleration, explains the power figures and maximum range, opens the falcon-wing doors, and shows the boot space.

Let us know what you think of the Tesla Model X in the comments below.
