Tesla has been delaying the launch and deliveries of the Tesla Model X, now the crossover-SUV-minivan is set to go on sale in the third quarter of 2015, reservations of the same are on. According to the EV company, they are currently testing the Model X rigorously to make it reliable - “We prefer to forgo revenue, rather than bring a product to market that does not delight customers. Doing so negatively affects the short term, but positively affects the long term."
Adding more on the Model X, the crossover resembles with the S, specifically from the front and the rear profile. Unique to the Tesla Model X - gull wing doors which the Fremont, California based electric automakers calls - ‘Falcon wings’ - ‘Falcon Wings. Calling them doors would be an understatement.’ On the inside, Model X is similar territory like the Model S - featuring a futuristic dash with a large ‘Tesla Touchscreen’ and a seating for seven!
The zero emission SUV is powered by dual motors as standard unlike its sibling Model S which also offers two-wheel-drive single motor setup. The Model X comes with two drivetrain setup - Model X and Model X Performance but both with dual-motor all wheel drive! This speaks serious performance, isn't it? Tesla says Model X offers naught to 100kmph in under 5-seconds which is more than any gas guzzling performance SUV on Earth.
Recently, Tesla updated the Model S lineup, major addition was introduction of dual motor all wheel drive - the top of the line - P85D. The two electric motors hums 691 bhp and a massive torque of 930 Nm. The figures speak performance, 3.2 seconds to 0-100kmph with an electronically limited speed of 250km/h. There are also two other dual motor models other than P85D. Tesla also introduced a driver assistance features - Auto Pilot with the new additions.
