The P100D is the big daddy of the Model X SUV line-up, and at $271,987 comes with the heftiest price tag to match.

Don’t try to fill it with petrol. That’ll get messy, but embarrassment will be the hardest stain to remove because the Model X is an electric vehicle.

This is a large SUV that comes standard with five seats but if you have any money left over you can option the Model X with six or seven seats.

Standard features include an enormous 17-inch touch screen, sat nav, reversing camera, climate control and seven more cameras set up  to enable the car to be fully autonomous when the software is rolled out.

The Model X also comes standard with a rear wing and snazzy red brake calipers which will be the envy of your 100D mates.

Also making them more than a bit jealous is your powerplants. While they have the same 193kW and 330Nm motors on the front and rear axles of their 100D you’ll have 193kW/330Nm on the front and a 375kW/600Nm unit on the rear.

This grunt along with the 'Ludicrous Speed' upgrade will rocket the P100D from 0-100km/h in a supercar-like 3.1 seconds.

The 100kWh battery has a 542km range (NEDC) but take 100km off that for a real-world figure.

Laura Berry is a best-selling Australian author and journalist who has been reviewing cars for almost 20 years.  Much more of a Hot Wheels girl than a Matchbox one, she grew up in a family that would spend every Friday night sitting on a hill at the Speedway watching Sprintcars slide in the mud. The best part of this was being given money to buy stickers. She loved stickers… which then turned into a love of tattoos. Out of boredom, she learnt to drive at 14 on her parents’ bush property in what can only be described as a heavily modified Toyota LandCruiser.   At the age of 17 she was told she couldn’t have a V8 Holden ute by her mother, which led to Laura and her father laying in the driveway for three months building a six-cylinder ute with more horsepower than a V8.   Since then she’s only ever owned V8s, with a Ford Falcon XW and a Holden Monaro CV8 part of her collection over the years.  Laura has authored two books and worked as a journalist writing about science, cars, music, TV, cars, art, food, cars, finance, architecture, theatre, cars, film and cars. But, mainly cars.   A wife and parent, her current daily driver is a chopped 1951 Ford Tudor with a V8.
