The Tesla Model S electric car has been a bigger success than anyone could have guessed, and is probably the only electric car that offers a real alternative to an ICE car.
In an email to customer who have already put a deposit down on the Model X SUV, tesla reveals that they will be building the first production prototypes this Autumn, and that proper production of the Model X will commence in early 2015.
Tesla also confirm that all variants of the Model X will come with 4WD, that there will be a seven-seat option and that the statement Falcon doors will make it in to the production model.
Tesla also say that the Model X will “…be a production car that exceeds the promises made when we first showed the concept [and] deliver a level of functionality and practicality that will exceed what you saw on the concept vehicle”, which augers very well for a Model X you’ll actually be able to buy.
Sadly, it seems likely that Tesla will concentrate on fulfilling demand in its home market before its starts exporting the Model X – and even longer before a right hand drive version is built – so it will probably be well in to 2016 before the Model X is available in the UK.
