Design Issues
Design Issues
I'm with you. I was hoping for a more functional SUV that I can take into the mountains, not to just drive my kids around the city in.
There is no question that falcon doors are 'neat', but the snow issue, the safety issue and the fact that I'd like to put a box on the roof, are all non-starters.
Elon says you can take this thing to Tahoe...well perhaps, but certainly not to ski...where would one put the skiis and other outdoor equipment.
Unfortunate. I see this as a big miss.
Might TM have the nerve to admit they were wrong about the falcon wings and eliminate them? Maybe Detroit is a better place to design an suv than California.
As the disappointing evolution of the S concept to production model showed, it is the engineers that are in charge at Tesla (and impressive engineers they are). The designers are left to gimmicks like the Falcon Doors. Not a bad design, but lacking the seductive magic of the concept S. Somehow I was hoping to see those signature blue light tubes in the headlights and side badge reappear. Like the S, the grill looks like an unappetizing sports mouth guard to me.
First thought on the big touch screen was that they had made it removable and behind it was the "base option" of sensuous tactile knobs and buttons for those of us who love Tesla but aren't in to death by driver distraction.
I am a huge supporter of Tesla. I own its stock, and I am an early reservation holder for the Model S, which I'll be getting later this year.
I had hoped that the Model X would be the car my wife would want, as she currently drives a Lexus RX. She went to bed after the failed streaming launch (I can hear the spin from Tesla on this tomorrow - "unprecedented demand and interest in our Model X caused blah blah blah") but I can tell you, the falcon wing doors are a non-starter. I am sure they'll sell some of these in places like L.A. and Miami, but Tesla engineers are apparently quite oblivious to the climate in most of the U.S. and the intended use of an SUV.
I'd love to see an animated picture showing what happens to the doors when you try to open them with two feet of snow on the roof. (And for any Tesla people who might read this and say, "but how often does that happen?" I can tell you that, here in Denver, the most recent time was last Friday. Then there was another half-foot on Tuesday. And if I had the temerity to actually take this SUV to the mountains, you can double the frequency and snow depth we get in town.)
Even if the doors open without warping the hinges or damaging the door and the roof, there is a second physics issue alluded to, and that is gravity - that snow, which becomes ice or water, needs to come down. And it will, right into the cabin of this SUV and on to the entering and exiting occupants.
And, as has been pointed out above, the top of the car is where people put their skis, snowboards, and bicycles. Not likely here. Some one should have done some market research with existing owners of SUVs.
It's too bad, because it's a great-looking vehicle. I have to hope they'll scrap the very silly door idea.
One of the blogs briefly mentioned the emergency escape issue with the Falcon doors. Apparently the hinge in the middle could be released in an emergency situation to provide a different means of escape. It mentioned the design as being a little less radical than Mercedes explosive bolts for their gull wing doors.
The snow issue is a good point, but it is hard to really understand how much of a problem it is without seeing the doors closer. I don't see the snow tumbling down in the middle as the tilt of the roof panels will direct that snow away from the opening. I do see that if the snow is in a nice undisturbed layer after being parked in a snowfall then as the sections tilt up they will shear the snow and depending on how it falls and how much of a drainage channel is along the side of the gap some might tumble in from the sides of the door, though.
The 3rd row accessibility is now depicted by a graphic on their Model X page that shows the 2nd row seat slid forward. It looks much much easier to navigate than getting in to the back seat of a 2-door coupe because of the more upright position. I've never owned a minivan, but the few times I've ridden in one there was a lot of awkward climbing to get in the 3rd row - probably a bit more than would be involved here.
Finally, for skis you might be able to run them along the flat floor. Many of the press pictures showed a large gap under the 2nd row seats that left a lot of room for passing long items through...
How about "optional"? Falcon wings for those who want a sedan-crossover, and doors for those who want an SUV-crossover.
OK, the teslamotors.com/modelx page now has lotsa details. E.g., the dual motor AWD is optional; there's a RWD version with one motor. And the batteries are 60 or 85 kwh.
There's a little "draggable" falcon door pic; made me wonder if you could drive with the doors half-open for extra lift!
Oh, it's also stated that prices would be similar to those of a comparably equipped Model S. Wonder how that translates with the dual-motor configurations.
There's also some interesting wording, "our current vision for this ground-breaking vehicle". Sounds like the doors might be negotiable?!
Eyeballing the drag-and-flap animation, it looks like they require only about 6" clearance each side to lift. But probably 18" vertical inside a garage at full cock.
No hints or info about the console/front-seat-gap area. Don't remember getting much of a glimpse on the presentation video, either.
And no X Design Studio or full spec listing yet.
Falcon doors prevent things put to roof, so that's a bit disappointing. That photoshopped picture about that touch screen looks like it is now even bigger, which is just plain ugly. 15 inch screen would be more than enough. Drivers really don't need the distraction. Front end needs redesign.
Compared to Model S this is a big disappointment. More cool than functional, so not a big seller for people needing a SUV (those that really need SUV buy different brand, and those that don't buy an S).
Missed the webcast I didn't see the real dash, but based on the picture it looks like X got even bigger screen, which is just plain stupid, 15 inch screen is more than enough for all the needed functions, and would blend in the design more nicely. It also works as distraction just like RobQ says, if you can't have tangible knobs and switches to feel (looking away from the street is dangerous. Really dangerous). I hope all the necessary controls you need during driving are in the steering wheel or stalks behind it (this applies to Model S too).
Looks like the screen base now curves into the dash, with a knee-rest spot.
And the steering wheel is oval, which is interesting!
For those in snowy climes, might there be a subtle heating element keeping the roofline a few degrees above 0 celsius to avoid any accumulation? They'd have to design some adequate water gutters no doubt...maybe copper?
As far as the quibs about hauling skis, etc. above, I think that's a small affected demographic, e.g. Denver. There are skis that fold in half for transport right ? Nevertheless, around Chicago the only material I see people haul on SUV roofs are mattresses.
@Peak Oil For those in snowy climes, might there be a subtle heating element keeping the roofline a few degrees above 0 celsius to avoid any accumulation?
That would be one huge energy eater. Trying to keep -20 - -30C (or -40+ as it turns out this winter) to +0 with decent wind and snow coming all day would eat your battery quite fast. Or get yourself a huge energy bill.
The roof rack issue is not a small demographic for an SUV. Look at the ones on the road now. Virtually all have built in racks. Of course the issue is easily solved with a trailer hitch rack system. I have one for my wife's car because she is not tall enough to get her skis and bike on and off the roof. It works great.
Like ronlitvak I'm a stock holder and Model S reservation holder, but Model X is a bit fat fail for me. The falcon doors are ugly as well as having the problems listed above. The 17" screen looks like a bolted-on after thought. Overall the Model X seems like it was designed by a back-room engineer rather than a designer.
Had such high hopes for Model X. V. V. Disappointed.
You guys are a tough group! Until I actually see the car and the doors in action in person I'm going to reserve judgement. As far as the ski racks are concerned, I'm sure minds more nimble than mine will be able to design double decker racks or something similar to carry all the skis we would normally carry.
If there is a big snowfall the first thing I do is brush off the windshields, side windows, etc so I can't imagine a couple extra swipes along the rooflines being a big deal if that is indeed an issue.
I personally like the idea that a company is pushing the envelope on design and trying to bring innovation to a field that has been boring over the past few years. I'm talking about the big box SUV's which all look pretty much the same.
There is nearly two years between last night's unveiling and the first deliveries. Lets watch the Model X evolve!
S Sig 998
Wife stayed up to watch the event with me. She was actually considering Model X. She currently loves her Pilot.
With the failed streaming, she found pics on NY Times. Didn't like it and by the time the web site recovered, wasn't interested enough to watch the video.
I'm concerned as a stock holder.
Looks like a lot of people didn't get enough sleep last night. Frankly I'm surprised by the anything-new-and-different-is-bad-and-won't-work comments. These are the kinds of things we hear from the anti EV crowd.
I like the X and expect it will sell well. As far as snow goes, most modern car doors curve into the body at the top. If you open them without brushing the snow away, they dump snow into your car. It looks to me like this would be less of a problem with the falcon doors. Either way, you can't blame the car if you don't remove the snow. The falcon doors will also protect a parent who is strapping in an child from rain. I suspect Tesla will have both a ski rack that fits between the open falcon doors and a generous between the seats ski solution by production time.
"between the open falcon doors" is about three inches. Not much space for a rack there. You need other solution for that kind of activity.
I was expecting a bit more functional car, instead I got a very big city toy, kind of blown up version of Roadster, that is why I'm disappointed.
Also it just feels wrong for Tesla to sell SUV. That's like Jaguar selling Land Rover. Imago suffers.
Also it just feels wrong for Tesla to sell SUV. (Timo)
I disagree. Tesla wants to change the industry, not the Roadster niche. You could as well say it feels wrong for Tesla to sell a sedan.
BMW's image did not suffer when they invented segment after segment (X5 was first real SUV, X6 was first performance cross-over). And Audi's image did not suffer when they followed suit (Q7 after X5, A7 after CLS). Offering a Q7 works great with A6 and R8 in the same portfolio, as does offering an X6 with 5series and Z4 all under the same brand. Even the Cayenne worked for Porsche. No problem as long as they are all built to comparable standards. Selling a Ford C-Max under the BMW, Audi or Porsche brand would probably hurt that brand -- but that's not the case here with the Model X.
Johns258 says "you guys are a tough group". Hardly. Those of us who are here are almost universally supporters of and emissaries for Tesla. I know I am. If you think this is a tough crowd, wait until Tesla tries to sell a $70,000-$90,000 vehicle to someone. That's the group that counts, and this morning, over a million shares have traded Tesla's stock down by over 5%. That's people voting with their money.
And Thumper's comment ("surprised by the anything-new-and-different-is-bad-and-won't-work" statements) is interesting: falcon-wing doors are anything but new. They've been tried in vehicles for over 50 years. (I'm remembering the deLorean; those better versed in automobile history will have other examples that go back to at least the 1950s.) As cool as they may look, there are very good reasons they have never caught on. And I recognize the response: "Well, Ron, electric vehicles have never caught on, either, but you've bet the time is ripe for them now." Yes, I have. There has been sufficient fundamental progress in battery capacities and cost to bring EVs to market, at least at the luxury end of the market. There has been no change to falcon-wing door technology.
I won't dignify the remarks anyone makes that imply it's the consumer's own darn fault if they don't sweep all the snow off the top of their vehicle. That just reflects a lack of understanding of the American consumer.
I'm with Brianh: Tesla needs to make the falcon-wings optional and put the hinges where they belong for the rest of America. My guess is standard doors would outsell falcon-wings by 10 to 1.
First off I agree with John 258's comment "tough group" and how to deal with the snow "a couple extra swipes". I live in vermont so have plenty of experience with snow. It also seems the preheating routine of the car could add some defrost to the roof/doors and this would alleviate any issue with doors being frozen shut (hopefully). In terms of skis and snowboards, I agree with whoever suggested using the tow hitch to attach a rack to the back. That is how I do with my current suv. It swings out of the way when I need to get to the luggage in the back. There is no need for a box up top because this car has loads of storage even with 7 adults and even more of course with 5 or less.
The utility of this vehicle is insane: 7 adults plus ample luggage, AWD, clearance, low center of gravity, and all electric going from 0-60 in less than 5 seconds! For me this a dream car come true. I wish it were cheaper and sooner, but at least it does not cost more than the S. Also it will have the advantage of a 1.5 years of testing and improving the model s platform which the x is built upon. For me the utility far outweighs the compromises. I am singing up today.
@ronlitvak - today is a perfect example of "buy on rumor and sell on news". An excellent opportunity to take profits after the big runup over tbe past few weeks. Plus the entire market is under pressure thanks to our friends in Euroland.The big answer will be after a few days and we get to see a tally on how many reservations have been made.
And you certainly don't have to dignify any remarks!
Having strapped numerous small children into those Impossible to use safety seats, I welcome anything that makes it a whole lot easier to get the toddlers safe and sound!
I think the model X is going to be the most beautiful CUV/SUV on the road. My only criticism is the 17 inch screen sticking above the dashboard. If I needed a vehicle to carry seven people and their luggage, I would have reserved by now. The model X is perfect for young families, hotels/motels that offer shuttle service and car rental companies.
My model S will more than satisfy my needs. I am looking forward to driving it. My wife is waiting for Tesla's $30k car.
Although I like the falcon doors, I'm not sure I get the comment that they're "functional first". They're only 10% wider than the front doors, and it seems like the top cutout could have been accomodated by a door that swings laterally as well. I don't understand what was functionally compelling that drove the falcon design.
I think the X is a smart looking car and appears to push the envelope in terms of technology and functionality. I'm not sure what people were expecting, but I personally think expectations appear to have been unreachable. Many out there seem like they would have only been happy if Elon trotted out a flying car. It's just a beta (or is it still an alpha?). Give it and TM some time. I bet you'll come around. The X will only get better. For me, the S is still the best fit. 10 years ago, with younger kids, I would have been all over the X.
If I read the website currently, this will be priced the same as a similarly priced model s. Well since the base car is a 60kwh battery, that makes the entry level price 67k, and by the time this delivers, here is no certainty of the 7k tax credit. I don't know about most of you, but 60k for the model s was at least 50% more than I would normally spend on a car. Tough to see spending 130-140k every 6 or 7 years for my wife and my two cars....
You only will have two feet of snow on the roof if you leave it outide. When that happens to me in my current sedan, if I need to access the trunk, then I brush off the snow. Even for opening the doors, I brush away the snow around the top of the door frame so that snow doesn't fall in.
I realize that the X is tall so maybe brushing off the top will be hard, but surely, the doors and roof are designed so that water doesn't spill inside when the car is wet. Maybe this will address smaller amounts of snow as well.
A heating element for keeping the rear window clear does not draw much power. A heating element for the roof does not have to run all the time. You will be able to use your phone to tell the car to warm things up 30 minutes or more ahead of time. If the roof pitches away and down a little heat and a large snow collection will slide off before it all has to be melted.
As far as driving your car around with 1 to 2 feet of snow on top. I think that should be illegal and in some states it technically is. We do not get large amounts of snow fall in my area but when we do and my car happened to be outside I clear the entire car. I've seen two accidents on the highway caused by snow/ice sheets flying off the top of a car and causing everyone behind the driver to swirve. The second time the other vehicles windshield was shattered. Of coarse the driver of the SUV had no clue and just kept on driving.
I agree that most Americans like to pile stuff on top of their roofs when they are traveling. That is typically because there is no room inside. I have a pod for my current car for long road trips, back when gas was cheap enough to make long road trips. I will wait and see what Tesla's answer is for storage outside the vehicle. I know I HATE trying to get things on and off the top of my car.
I agree the doors were wobbly and not synchronized, there should be an automatic link to allow second row seats to move forward if there's no child seat in place, they should be easily completely removed or tumbled down, they should be much thinner seat backs and swabs -- there's a laundry list of engineering challenges and only two years to bring it all together.
Utility vehicles need to tow at least small trailer ratings (say 7700lb for equivalent vehicles from all the major brands.) All purpose family vehicles benefit from AWD and that begs the question of variable height suspension and multiple settings for damper and anti-roll bar rates like Porsche with PASM and PDCC.
I like the comparison to a Porsche for the sprint to 60 mph, but it's one thing to exploit the torque of a pair of electric motors in a race on the drawing board to achieve theoretical acceleration, it's another thing to then change direction, brake, steer, accelerate, and repeat while making the whole experience safe and enjoyable for the driver and occupants. The Cayenne is a high mark for the Tesla X. It's fun to set a benchmark with a Porsche, but the comparison begins and ends with a 0-60 launch.
I think the comparison to the Audi land yacht was telling -- the compromise in the Q to make it a seven seater sandwiched into the Cayenne/Touareg platform resulted in zero cargo and the diesel needs a big urea tank instead of a spare or audio system or any space at all (pick one.)
Still and all the same, I see these as achievable goals for features and functionality. The primary value proposition is zero emissions, zero toxic chemicals and a vehicle that presents itself as appropriate for the first half of the 21st century instead of a legacy of the middle of last century but with a Bluetooth handsfree kit stuck in the sun-visor. : )
The thing I'd like to see in the dual motor, dual drive system is dual steering. If there is one innovative technology that brought revolutionary advances to the handling of a four wheel vehicle, it's four wheel steering. Honda had it on their Prelude in Australia in the early 90's. GM had it in the Quadrasteer Suburban. It was too expensive and it was always put behind the disincentive of paying an extra 10% or so on top of the price of the car. What a blunder. If only Tesla could simply take the front power-train with steering and simply replicate it in a sort of push-me-pull-you symmetry so that they're building literally only a single assembly and fitting it front or rear, then arbitrarily releasing parasitic drag for gliding, etc. I delighted in having a four wheel steering car and still consider buying a nearly decade-old car just for that single feature, from high speed stability to low speed cornering, especially for a larger vehicle maneuvering in the close quarters of city and urban driving. If Tesla highlights the advantage of entry and egress in tight parking spots, they neglect to mention the ten point turn required to then drive out of that parking spot ... four wheel steering with appropriate cameras augmenting visibility is a compelling advantage over existing competition.
I think they went after the SUV market that thinks they need an SUV but don't really need one. People haulers rather that material haulers. In that respect they hit a home run. Now if it will appeal to the high end SUV market is another matter.
I say high end because if they price using the Model S logic than it will be in rare territory indeed. $67K base model, 77K for the 85kWH model to achieve any decent range because of size. 87K for the AWD model, 102K for the performance model. Throw in a couple options and all these base model prices go up another 10 to 20K!
Only car above this price range is the G wagon. And they sell only handfulls of these each year. BMW X5M and X6M are closer in price but actually faster and also cheaper. Tough area for TESLA to sell many IMO.
(Keep in mind the marketing that TESLA and all companies do. AWD, sub 5 second, and 85KWH are in the same paragraph, but do not mean they are in the base price! Just thought I would point out the obvious in case it wasn't clear to some.))
BruceR, I am very enthusiastic about the model x, but have to admit price is the most difficult part for me. I hope the 7k incentive is still alive when the model x is ready. I also hope the AWD option does not up the price 10k, but more like 3-5k. Without the incentive and 3k for the AWD, it will still cost 70k - pretty hard to stomach for most of us...
I agree with the tough crowd sentiment. The falcon doors are fantastic. For the relatively small segment that would need to haul a box or skis on top, consider that you could place to one side and only open the alternate side door and problem solved!
However, you must realize the folly in placing on top and not an aft hitch is YOU LOOSE AERODYNAMICS and range...however, placed at the aft of the vehicle you wouldn't loose nearly as much.
I am impressed, but not in market for crossover. I have S reserved.
The critics of the Model X need to chillax. First of all, the ski rack is POSSIBLE! Check out this Tesla Motors Club thread with inside info:
Apparently there is a Model X compatible ski rack in development. Not sure about a box, but let's at least give them the YEAR AND A HALF to develop the car into a final product with final specs before throwing them to the wolves.
If Tesla and Musk have shown us anything, it's that they are extremely smart people. I think the market upside to the X is sky high, particularly considering how many people buy luxury SUVs in this country at the same price range or more. Time will tell.
It would be one miracle rack if it works with falcon doors.
I don't personally care much about roof racks, and falcon doors with snow is not a problem if you just swipe the snow off (that should be standard operation to everyone, falcon doors or not). My peeve is with the front. It needs redesign. It looks a bit like what Ford did with their fiesta-derived crossover. Just add a block to the bottom to fiesta and pretend that it is now a fully developed SUV.
Also for SUV when there is Model S to compete with Model X isn't giving enough advantage. There might be people buying Model X just to get that AWD drive. Put that in Model S and even those go away. I don't think that will sell much. It is not "utility" enough, even that "sports vehicle" is achieved. I was expecting a bit more radical design, something like in MB Bionic Car design.
I don't think battery/charger tech is there yet for SUV:s. You get way less range with heavier low-aerodynamic vehicle than you do with lighter high-aerodynamic one. To get (really) useful range battery cost will be very high, and charging times long. Range anxiety is a real thing for larger BEV:s.

Timo, Your falcon wing rooftop heating element dismissal and reference to -20 or -30 celsius temps. is skewed. The average overnight winter temp in Chicago in January doesn't come close (-10C, +14F), never mind the distinct warming trend this past decade.
I was never a model X suv/crossover prospect, but I think Tesla will find a good niche within the space. Of course US gas prices closer to $5/gal in 2014 will greatly assist!
@Peak, you said For those in snowy climes. No mention of Chicago. Tesla sales world wide, it get that cold and colder on some rather large parts of the world at winter.
I hope that Tesla isn't planning to sell much of these crossovers. OTOH, if they make money with them with even small number of sales, then even small number should be a nice bonus. It isn't out of Model S sales, not much anyway, because Model S is way superior to that IMO (and would be even more superior with that double-engine drivetrain).
Anyway, I predict there will be stock hit and several reservations canceled when they announce projected operation range. It will not be anything close to Model S, just the size of the car makes that impossible (unless they found a way to make car quite a lot lighter than Model S without increasing costs). I'm guessing at least 20% drop in range (60kWh would give you 190 miles and 85kWh 250 miles). Bigger loss at higher speeds. I will be (positively) surprised if loss is less than that and not really surprised if it is more.
In two years there will be better lithium-ion battery cells. I am sure that these will be used in model X battery packs.
@Timo, why guess. Tesla has already said about 10-12% range penalty. I believe them, don't you?
at 2:35 of the video.
To collect responses to the concerns of the OP:
The mid-door hinges release in an emergency, allowing egress from a rolled vehicle;
Brush off the snow. The X's roof is not so high that most adults can't do this easily, though a long-handled brush will be helpful. Driving around with snow on the roof is dangerous for other drivers and reduces your mileage.
The second-row seats of the X will roll forward in the production vehicles, even though they did not in the prototype.
Model X dash is markedly different than the S's. The X has the display thrust forward, with a large gap between the upper half and the dash. The S, by contrast, at least has the entire display embedded in the dash. The X also has a big slab of wood across the entire length.
Personally, the X doesn't do much for me, but I'm not the target market. To my eye, the X has most of the weaknesses of the S's design, while relatively fewer of its virtues.
See my comments under "the genious of model x".
I've said this in another thread, but it is worth repeating since there seems to be so much angst over the failure of the Model X design to deliver SUV features. The Model X is NOT an SUV. For those of you who have not listened to Tesla or Elon, they have been saying for months that the Model X is not an SUV. No matter how often you say it is an SUV, no matter how much you woiuld like a Tesla SUV, the Model X ain't gonna morph into one. It is a crossover built on the Model S frame (stretched 4 in in length).
If the Model X is parked within 12 inches of another car, I don't believe the Falcon doors will be the issue. The driver won't be able to get out of the standard door! If the door is about 3-4 inches thick, that leaves 8-9 inches to squeeze through. How many of us have the svelte build for that?
When I was hauling 4 kids and a dog around I had a VW Microbus (plenty of functionality, little performance). When there was only 12 inches clearance to the car next to me, and the sliding door was open, it was very difficult to get in and out.
I Don't need a crossover, I'm buying the Model S, but I think the market segment the Model X addresses is going to go for it. IMHO that ain't going to be the guys.
jackhub....If there is no center console, then one can get to the driver's seat from the falcon door opening by walking between the front bucket seats. This is only a guess, but try it when you see the prototype.
@Klaus Tesla has already said about 10-12% range penalty. I believe them, don't you?
In this case, no I don't believe them. Not until I see the real results for beta testing cars. If it is that low they have managed to again make small miracle in car design. I would be really impressed.
@stephen.k: there is a center console, it just doesn't extend very far forward between the two seats. If you're athletic, you could wriggle over it. :-)
As I posted on another thread ( http://www.teslamotors.com/forum/forums/genius-model-x#comment-66028 ) playing with the drag-and-drop on the X page is informative:
The geometry of the falcon doors is such that you need (I guesstimate) only about 6-8" clearance for them to get up and out of the way. Then the constraint/bottleneck is your own required clearance. And even then, the fact that the interior is now available to you, once past the outer doorframe, that increases the clearance for access to the driver's seat at least another 6-8".
I note that the max extension of the door is when it is already above the roofline of the S parked beside it. The closest it actually gets to the S is at just above the side-mirror level, and that's still several inches away. Now imagine opening the S' door. Far less room available for that.
Bottom line: the X is much easier to enter and exit than the S.
The space available will be somewhat less if the next car is another SUV or other tall vehicle, of course.
Doh. Just realized that the driver (front) door(s) are standard. So they require the same kind of clearance that any other car does. So opening the falcon door and the driver's door partway would be about the best "tight quarters" plan, I suppose.

Through ETPN (European Technology Platform of Nanomedicine), Nanobiotix Is Driving Nanomedicine in Europe and Is Now Involved in the First Nanomedicine Consortium in France With the launch of NICE Project
PARIS–(Marketwired – Jul 3, 2013) – NANOBIOTIX (EURONEXT PARIS: NANO), a clinical-stage nanomedicine company pioneering novel approaches for the local treatment of cancer, announces today it has secured c.EUR 9 million in funding from bpifrance (formerly OSEO) of which EUR 2.8 million is directly attributable to the Company. This grant, awarded through bpifrance's Strategic Industrial Innovation (ISI) program, will accelerate the clinical and industrial development of the Company's lead product NBTXR3 in a new indication, liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma). Liver cancer is a major health problem that causes one of the greatest number of deaths each year worldwide, c.695,000 deaths per annum.
This grant supports the launch of NICE (Nano Innovation for CancEr), the first consortium of nanomedicine stakeholders in France focused on characterization and industrialization aspects. The consortium has been accredited by the Medicen Paris Region, a competitive cluster for innovative therapies in Ile-de-France (www.medicen.org).
Consisting of five public and private partners, the NICE consortium includes partners with in depth expertise in the field of nanomedicine. Its mission is to build a platform to accelerate the development and industrialization of nanomedicine in France by capitalizing on the strong and complementary expertise of each partner.
Nanobiotix's lead product NBTXR3, based on NanoXray, is currently under clinical development for advanced soft tissue sarcoma and has received authorization from the French Medicine Agency, ANSM, to start a second clinical trial in patients with locally advanced cancers of the oral cavity or oropharynx (head and neck cancer). NBTXR3 will benefit fully from this platform of expertise and funding received from bpifrance by being able to accelerate its clinical development. The purpose of this project is the start of a new Phase I clinical study with NBTXR3 in patients with primary liver cancer.

In addition to Nanobiotix, the consortium includes BioAlliance Pharma, leader of the consortium which is developing Livatag®, a doxorubicin nanoparticle currently in Phase III clinical trial for treatment of primary liver cancer; CEA-Leti, the developer of cancer-detecting nanoparticles based on Leti's Lipidots® platform; DBI, a company specialized in the production of nanomedicine pharmaceutical products and the Institut Galien Paris Sud (University Paris Sud/CNRS), which has an academic-excellence team specialized in nanoparticle research.
"Today, nanomedicine is considered as one of the major growth drivers of the global pharmaceutical industry and it is essential that the industry is structured at the local level to be competitive," said Laurent Levy, CEO of Nanobiotix. "In turn, Nanobiotix will benefit from the consortium in two ways; if the sector is structured right to be able to accelerate the development and industrialization of products, and in the development of a new indication of NBTX3 which will help patients and build shareholder value."
About BPIFRANCE's Strategic Industrial Innovation (ISI) program
The Strategic Industrial Innovation program promotes the emergence of European champions. It supports ambitious, innovative collaborative projects through to industrialization, driven by innovative medium-sized companies (less than 5000 employees) and small businesses (less than 250 employees). These highly promising projects are aimed at the commercialization of products which result from technological breakthroughs and which not be possible without fostering measures from the public sector. Funding is generally in the EUR 3-10 million range, as grants-in aid and loans which are repayable if the project is a success.
About NANOXRAY
Nanobiotix's first-in-class, proprietary technology called NanoXray is at the forefront of a new era of nanomedicine, where nanoparticles are not just a vehicle for targeted drug delivery, but have become the principal active element. The NanoXray technology is based on the physical properties of hafnium-oxide nanoparticles and is used to enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy treatment for a variety of cancer indications.
Nanoparticles are designed to enter tumor cells and, upon activation by a standard dose of radiation, they emit large amounts of electrons resulting in the generation of free radicals that destroy cancer cells (the same mode of action than radiotherapy but largely amplified). Nanoparticle-enhanced radiotherapy therefore amplifies the lethal dose of energy locally within the tumor without changing the effect of the dose passing through surrounding healthy tissues.
By changing the coating of the nanoparticles, Nanobiotix is developing three different products that can be administered either by direct injection into the tumor (NBTXR3), intravenous injection (NBTX-IV) or topical application to fill tumor cavities after surgery (NBTX-TOPO). The product applied will depend on type of tumor and the patient's specific clinical needs. NanoXray products are classified as a medical device in Europe and as a drug in the US. They are compatible with current radiotherapy methods with respect to equipment and protocols, as well as with older radiotherapy equipment or any radiation-based therapy.
About NANOBIOTIX
Nanobiotix (Euronext: NANO / ISIN: FR0011341205) is a clinical-stage nanomedicine company pioneering novel approaches for the local treatment of cancer. The Company's first-in-class, proprietary technology, NanoXray, enhances radiotherapy energy to provide a new, more efficient treatment for cancer patients. NanoXray products are compatible with current radiotherapy treatments and are meant to treat a wide variety of cancers via multiple routes of administration. Nanobiotix's lead product NBTXR3, based on NanoXray, is currently under clinical development for soft tissue sarcoma. The Company has partnered with PharmaEngine for clinical development and commercialization of NBTXR3 in Asia. The Company is based in Paris, France.
Laurent Levy, CEO and co-founder of Nanobiotix, is the Vice-President of the European Technology Platform of Nanomedicine (ETPN).

School of Wash Reviews: Natural Bath Products with a List of Scents of 100+!Tuesday, March 19th, 2013
Pick your desired scent and pick your product type. It's as easy as that. Of course, the hardest part is trying to limit your fragrance choices, when the brand School of Wash has over a hundred of them. In fact, they'll even let you create a custom scent if you so choose. I was sent a variety of bath and beauty product types in a variety of scents, and I'm going to let you know my thoughts.

Blame it on Mitch McConnell.
President Obama told a joke at Saturday's White House Correspondents' Association Dinner about having a drink with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (NOT) — so McConnell struck back with a Twitter photo of himself on a barstool sitting next to an empty chair with a glass of red wine. (Shades of Clint Eastwood. OMG.)
To our discerning eyes, the photo of Mitch McConnell with a beer mug made us think that it made the late, great Texas Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, the archetypical patrician, seem like Joe Six Pack from Dime Box, Texas.
So if you were given the opportunity to down a brew with a member of the Texas congressional delegation, which one would it be? If you don't like the ten choices we gave you, send us a comment with your choice or post to our @TxPotomac Twitter feed.

America political activists are intensely focused on an out-of-the-way Congressional race in Alabama. Earl Hilliard, the incumbent, is being challenged by Artur Davis for the Democratic primary on June 25. Since no Republican registered for the race, the runoff is tantamount to a general election.
Middle East politics have taken a prominent role in this race, despite the fact that few Jews or Moslems live in the district. Hilliard is considered one of the most anti-Israel members of Congress. He was one of only 20 Congressmen to vote against a pro-Israel resolution in May 2002, and one of 11 Congressmen to vote against a resolution "expressing support of Israel in the fight against terrorism."
In July 2001, Hilliard was one of six congressman who voted against extending sanctions for Libya and Iran. Hilliard has traveled to Libya (twice), sent staff to Iraq, and following September 11 introduced a House resolution to lift sanctions and normalize relations with terrorist states.
The votehilliard.org website is owned by Palestine Media Watch -- firstname.lastname@example.com
The campaign is not without scandal. Individuals connected to Hilliard were seen distributing fliers stating that Davis, a 34-year-old Harvard-educated black lawyer, supports Israel's "policy of complete domination." The flier further alleged that Davis's "only work experience was putting black folks in jail and now he tells us that Jews are our best friends..."
To read more about the flier controversy, see:
For more information on this race, visit the Birmingham News website (http://www.bhamnews.com), which is carrying the story on the front page every day.
Chen Keinan, whose mother and baby daughter were murdered in a terrorist attack in Petach Tikvah, said in an interview with CNN:
"I just want to tell everybody that they shouldn't keep even one eye closed when they sleep, because what we Israelis know today, they will know tomorrow. Every country, mainly in Europe, has its minorities and has it problems. And one day, it [the terror] will come! This is the time to stop it, and to avoid babies being scattered on the streets.
"I'll tell you how I see the future: I think Israel is like the canary in the coal mine, and... we in Israel are dying now. We are slaughtered on a daily basis, but you're next... And you hope that if you tolerate it, and try to understand its motives, and you give it reasons, whatever they are. I ask the Europeans: Do not tolerate murder!
"I don't want to use the word terrorism, because it's banal. Do not tolerate murder, do not appease the terrorists! Not for oil, and not because you're scared. Because the more fear you show, the faster it's going to be on your doorstep -- and then, God help you, because you gave it legitimacy. And my baby's blood is just as precious as any French blood. God help these hypocritical people..."
Read excerpts from the CNN interview at:
Writing in the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles, Dan Gordon, described as "a peace activist who has held meetings with Arab leaders in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the West Bank and Gaza," offers some telling details on the aftermath of the battle of Jenin:
"I was in the Jenin refugee camp on April 16. In addition to noting that there was no smell of death in the camp and that the booby-traps and anti-personnel bombs laid out by the Palestinian gunmen were still very much in evidence, I heard a story, which I did indeed find chilling. It was told to me by Dr. David Zangen, chief medical officer of the Israeli paratroop unit, which bore the brunt of the fighting in Jenin. Zangen stated that the Israelis not only worked to keep the hospital in Jenin open, but that they offered the Palestinians blood for their wounded.
"The Palestinians refused it because it was Jewish blood. That is a chilling story to an American of my age, with memories of white, bigoted-racial purists refusing to accept blood from African Americans in the segregated South."
The Israeli response, which could easily have been, "fine, have it you own way," was to fly in 2,000 units of blood from Jordan, via helicopters, for the Palestinians.
Read the article at:
In the meantime, comic Sam Levinson says: "It's a free world and you don't have to like Jews, but if you don't, I suggest that you boycott certain Jewish products, like...
- The Wasserman Test for syphilis
- Insulin, discovered by Dr. Minofsky
- Chloral Hydrate, discovered by Dr. Lifreich
- The Schick Test for Diphtheria
- Vitamins, discovered by Dr. Funk
- Streptomycin, discovered by Dr. Woronan
- Polio Pill by Dr. Sabin
- Polio Vaccine by Dr. Jonas Salk.
Says Levinson: "You want to be mad at us? Be mad at us! But I'm telling you, you ain't going to feel so good."
Thomas Friedman writes in The New York Times:
...Yes, yes, many Europeans really do just want an end to the Israeli occupation, but the anti-Semitism coming out of Europe today suggests that deep down some Europeans want a lot more: They want Mr. Sharon to commit a massacre against Palestinians, or they want to describe what he did in Jenin as a massacre, so that the Europeans can finally get the guilt of the Holocaust off their backs and be able to shout: "Look at these Jews, they're worse than we were!"
I just attended an Arab media conference and was on a panel with Eric Rouleau, the Middle East correspondent of Le Monde, who said he had recently spoken to some French generals who told him that what Israel did in Jenin was worse than anything France did during the Algerian war. One million Algerians were killed in that war and two million were made homeless. So far 60 bodies have been recovered in Jenin, many of them fighters. You do the math.

Nairn finished her career second on the all-time assists list in program history and doubled her career goal total this season, as she was second in the conference with 17 goals. Additionally, she was one of just two players in this year's College Cup with double-digit goals and assists.

Canucks coach Alain Vigneault quips: The world according to Coach Vee
Alain Vigneault has had plenty of bon mots to dispense with during his seven seasons as Vancouver Canucks head coach. Click on the photo tab above this photo to see the best …

VANCOUVER — During his seven seasons behind the Vancouver Canucks bench, Alain Vigneault has had his share of moments in his dealings with the media. Here is the best of AV, quote department:
(You can click here for quotes or read on below)
• "When you have comments like Bolland's, he's obviously an individual whose IQ is probably the size of a birdseed. And he has a face that only a mother could look at." — Responding to Blackhawks centre Dave Bolland calling the Sedin twins 'sisters' during a Chicago radio show.
• "As far as the sex goes, that's none of my business. They can do what they want. I like to have a lot of control but not that part there." — On what advice he would give to his players during the 2010 playoffs.
• "A man possessed? I shouldn't be laughing." — Asked if he felt soft forward Kyle Wellwood's intensity level was on the rise.
• "It's 1-0 for the car." — On the status of prospect Yann Sauve, who was struck by a vehicle Sept. 4, 2010 in downtown Vancouver just prior to training camp.
• "Can I laugh? I'm really sensitive about that stuff." — When asked to comment on Don Cherry's comment that naming goalie Roberto Luongo team captain was silly.
• "All I know is I can finally tell them apart and I can't figure out how come it took me four years. For me, right now, they don't even look alike." — On needing a fourth season to figure out the difference between Daniel and Henrik Sedin.
• "I'm lucky because my mom and dad like my friends." — On living with parents during the lockout, and having some buddies over, while his own place was being renovated.
• "That was a pretty good day for a little Frenchman from Quebec." — On Alex Burrows, who scored the Game 7 overtime winner versus Chicago April 26, 2011 and then became a first-time father on April 27.
• "My give-a-care-meter for what's going on in Boston isn't very high. I'll let other people take care of that." — When asked for a comment about Bruin goalie Tim Thomas's snub-Obama-at-the-White-House controversy.
• "There is one thing you should know and we know about Kes, he'll do anything it takes to win. So you can take all of that with a grain of salt. And he really likes French people, so we're all set." — On Ryan Kesler's comments during the Olympic gold-medal final that Canuck teammate Roberto Luongo was fighting the puck in the Canadian net.
• "I didn't even know it was Louie's birthday. I'll just say 'Happy Birthday, Louie.' That should be enough." — When asked if he had anything special planned for Luongo's 28th birthday.
• "He's day-to-day... with a boot on." — Fudging his injury report on defenceman Chris Tanev, whose high ankle sprain kept him out of the lineup for four weeks plus playoffs.

text: A Parisian treasure we have brought to Brazzers for your enjoyment, Eloa is a tall imposing temptress with huge, gorgeous, natural breasts she loves to fondle and wrap around weeping cock for the finest of French titty fucks. Eloa comes from a culture which knows how to savor the hedonistic subtleties of life, such as watching Eloas fine epic curves bounce as she readies herself for getting thoroughly hammered on all of the household surfaces. Watch her terrify this poor bastard in the woods before cruelly kidnapping him and tying him up like meat in her secret hidden fuck shack. We are not certain if any guy would find waking up to Parisian lips masterfully sucking their cock torture or more of a most excellent surprise, but Eloa ensures that her prey keeps her thoroughly satisfied.

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
thanx for the heads up PigDog...hey...why didn't somebody warn me this was gonna take a lonnnnnnnnnnnng time to install...lolStill doin its magic here (been bout an hour and 15 mins so far, will report success or ...yikes...failure
hollywood - sorry to hear about your problems! Just a few tips in case they are helpful....1. Don't use the mirrors, always use the bit torrents - its almost unheard of to get a corrupted download as every "piece" (usually about 0.5MB) is checksummed as it comes down, discarded and redownloaded transparently if there is an issue. Have seen many posts from people who ended up with corrupted downloads from the mirrors.2. Really try to get the DVD install working, it is highly likely that you will end up reinstalling lots of times and the DVD is infinitely more convenient! This isn't so much to say that the installs are unstable, but more that once you start playing and see how much it can do, it gets far to easy to be "overly adventurous" and break things 3. Start with i386 rather than AMD64, there is some suspicion that AMD64 is a little unstable in the release version of 0710 (RC2). 4. I have read many posts from people with the IO errors during the expansion of the TAR file from the DVD - other than download corruption, the only other issues I have ever seen as the cause have been burning too fast or on one occasion a dodgy IDE cable on the DVD drive of the LMCE system. Seriously, I have built at least 35-40 times with many different versions, and on several occasions got that error - reburning at the slowest speed has always fixed it. But you should consider the other corruption options like cheap media, possibly using DVD+R instead of -R, vibration during the burn, try swapping out your LMCE DVD drive - remember it is expanding a very large tar file, even a tiny error will screw it. It is just an untar command so there really isn't any software compatibility issue involved, just simple data corruption, so focus on eliminating that. Unfortunately, that it is a single large tar statistically increases the likelihood of a failure (but increases the chances of a good install if it gets through it!)5. Do yourself a favour and get an nVidia video chipset.... currently far better supported, far less compatibility issues6. If you have onboard and card graphics, try to disable the onboard chipset completely - otherwise you will likely get the black screen problem pigdog mentions. Can be worked around, but is inconvenient (one way is to allow it to get the black screen, reboot, and go to recovery mode in the GRUB menu, then edit the xorg.conf file to choose the right PCI BusID and driver, then reboot again)7. Be familiar with the keyboard shortcuts (keys 1 through 0) used to choose the video connector out and resolution during the AVWizard in case you have one of the other problems that cause "black screen".8. Look up fine tuning options for the xorg.conf file to get the best possible experience (particularly EDID, DPI, Modeline)
(1) ATI drivers currently do not properly support Composite and OpenGL running simultaneously. AMD has mentioned that this will be fixed at some magical point in the future, but as of yet, the drivers don't work.(2) The PnP code for detecting the cards is currently broken. The drivers are not installed correctly, almost certainly forcing you to force install the drivers, which will cause problems later when you try to install other media directors.Again, when we recommend NVIDIA, we have very specific reasons for doing so, bordering on outright forcing you to do it. :
