In case you didn’t catch Tesla’s big reveal of its much-anticipated Model X last night, it’s pretty amazing. Elon Musk took the stage with a Model X rolling out to go over the aspects of the new SUV — and it did not disappoint.

What has everyone geeking out today? A super-powered, medical-grade air filtration system that not only filters out pollution but also has a “Bioweapon Defense Mode” button.

“If there’s ever an apocalyptic scenario of some kind, hypothetically, you just press the Bioweapon Defense Mode button. This is real button,” Musk says in the Tesla video (which is about 30 minutes, but totally worth it). “We try to be a leader in apocalyptic defense scenarios.”

But what else is fun, Elon?

The Falcon Wing door. Musk shows us how the doors glide open, making it easier to load, unload and enter the vehicle, especially if you have kids. The second row of seats glides forward so you can easily access the third row, too.

“It makes a huge difference in back strain and comfort,” Musk says. “And it also looks cool.”

Musk also showed off the Model X performs in tight parking spots, the Falcon Wing doors adjusting to the scenario when someone parks too close.

You can view all the specs for the new Tesla Model X on its site, including other fun features like all-wheel drive, 90 kWH battery that goes up to 250 miles on a single charge, room for seven adults and gear, and the ludicrous button, going from 0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds.

“It goes so fast it’s wrong,” Musk says.

Some lucky drivers got a test drive, including the Verge, which reports that they basically loved the Insane Mode, beautiful helicopter-like windows that give “the sense of being outdoors,” and those Falcon Wing doors — “they make getting in and out of the back a breeze.”

“This car is truly, legitimately insane,” the Verge writes. At a base price tag of $132,000, it better be. New reservations can expect delivery toward the end of 2016.
