According to the Washington Post, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said in the past that the Model S is "a little too guy centric." It's an issue that the company is actively trying to correct with X, a vehicle that's expected to cost between $50,000-$70,000.
And it seems to be working, with more than half of the pre-orders for the Model X coming from women.
That's certainly a good thing. In 2014, women account for 40% of the nearly 17 million cars and trucks sold the US, the Washington Post reported. For crossover SUVs, that number is closer to 50%.
Do EVs really have gender specific appeal?

SUVs are built for suburbanites to drive around and essentially live in, sort of a like a downsized RV.
