Elon Musk Says This Is One Of Tesla Model X SUV's Best Features

Tesla, Inc.'s TSLA electric vehicles are in great demand despite their pricier nature. CEO Elon Musk on Tuesday flagged a feature as one of the best in the company's Model X electric SUV.

Tesla on its Twitter handle shared YouTuber Ryan Cowen's video where he was seen demonstrating the hands-off provision for accessing a Model X vehicle. In the video, the YouTuber is walking toward the vehicle with his hand locked behind his head. He suggests that by simply having the car's key in his pockets, the car automatically unlocks and opens the door using a bunch of sensors. When he puts his foot on the brake, the door closes.

Tesla captioned the video as "Model X auto-presenting doors."
