It"s a warm spring afternoon in Times Square, New York. Leaning through the window of my car is a heavily armed New York City police officer, barking as to why in the four-letter-word I"ve driven onto one of the world"s most famous intersections and opened the Falcon Wing doors of my new Tesla Model X.One reason is my photographer, positioned across the street, thought it would be a good idea to cause a stir. And it has. Pedestrians are swarming around the car, faces beaming, cameraphones flashing and the cop quite rightly is reading me the riot act. "Why do you look so nervous?!" he barks. "You got something to hide?" I manage only a series of "umms" before we"re joined by yet more heavily armed police. Headlines about a Top Gear-related diplomatic incident flash before my eyes, before one officer, mercifully, defuses the situation."Those doors are awesome, man! What is that?"Photography: Anton WattsThis feature was originally published in issue 283 of Top Gear magazine
