Tesla Motors unveiled its highly anticipated Model X on February 9 at its design studio in California. One day after the reveal, without any advertising, advance sales of the Model X exceeded $40 million.
The Model X is equipped with unique Falcon Wing doors that open up and out of the way. Built on the same platform as Model S, but with a longer wheelbase, Model X has approximately the same external dimensions of an Audi Q7. On the inside, however, Model X has 40% more room than a Q7 and is capable of carrying both seven large adults and considerable luggage.
It will offer dual motor all wheel drive for superior all-weather driving and the option of a 60 or 85 kWh battery. The Model X Performance version will accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 4.4 seconds. This would make Model X faster than many sports cars, including the Porsche 911 Carrera.
Tesla’s touchscreen, the 17” in-dash display that includes driver controls, vehicle apps, web connectivity and onboard charging are included in Model X. Tesla has stated that the Model X will be priced competitively with other premium SUVs. It will be built at the Tesla Factory in Fremont, California with production slated to begin at the end of 2013, and deliveries begin early 2014. For specs on the Model X, click HERE.
