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?

it was quite painful as my airbag did not deploy. i was wearing my seatbelt but it did not help.
the suv was not damaged in any way because its bumper did not crush. had it done so we could have both replaced our bumpers and i would not have been injured.
