Tesla Model X : The SUV that wants to compete the Porsche Cayenne

On the 9 of february 2012 Tesla Motors introduced the Model X to the public for marketing

Design and interior

     The Tesla Model X is an SUV that is based on the existing platform of the Model S, which also shares a part of the design. The manufacturer positioned the car "between the minivan and the SUV" and the car is equipped with rear doors "Falcon wings", which open up while retreating to not take up too much space on the sides upon opening.

 The car can carry 7 passengers and their luggage, with obviously a large space on board. 






The price of the Model X

      The price of a Tesla corresponds to tariffs for luxury cars. As proof, the future 2013 Tesla Model X will start at 57,400$ (52 000€ and £ 38,000) for up to $ 100 000 (90 000€ and £67,000) while the autonomy will be reduced by about 10% compared to the sedan as the SUV is heavier.  

Motorization of the SUV 

      Model X will be delivered with a rear electric motor developing the equivalent of 300 hp, but a front electric motor 150 hp will be an option to make the four-wheel drive. This will be one of the first electric cars 4 × 4! Nonetheless, this model will benefit from the 85 kWh Performance version with two electric motors. Like the Model S P85D, this will allow it to reach the threshold of 700 horsepower.  

So far, the Model X included only 60 kWh battery 85 kWh. This version equipped with 85 kWh Performance AWD is a twin engine with a front engine developing 224 hp and a strong rear engine of 476 hp. The combined power of 700 hp gives rise to an autonomy of 442 km on the Model S P85D. For the Model X, in theory, this gives 240 miles or 380 km of autonomy because of its higher weight and depending on the battery pack chosen. 
 

According to the latest relayed news, the SUV will offer surprising innovations which the manufacturer still keeps the secret. Originally scheduled for the end of 2013, the launch of the Model X was postponed several times but Tesla announced that its future SUV Model will be delivered at the beginning of 2016 with early pre-orders delivered in September 2015After the launch of the SUV, Tesla will accelerate in another highly anticipated new, the famous entry-level sedan named Tesla Model III.
