Tesla Motors follows up on the Model S with the Model X
Tesla Motors made a big splash onto the electric car scene with its Roadster. While pricey at roughly $100,000, the two-seater was praised for its peppy performance, excellent handling, and sleek styling.
Tesla Motors’ second entry into the electric vehicle market isn’t even publicly available yet, but its 2012 production run is already sold out. The Model S is a gorgeous sedan that ranges in price from $57,400 to $87,400 (before a $7,500 tax credit). The base model has a 40 kWh lithium-ion battery pack and has a 160-mile range. The top-end model comes with an 85 kWh lithium-ion battery and can travel up to 300 miles on a charge.
With development of the second generation Roadster currently underway and the Model S gearing up for a Summer ’12 public introduction, Tesla Motors is turning its attention to a hot segment in the automotive space: crossovers.
The company today unveiled its Model X crossover which is based on the Model S’ chassis (albeit with a 4-inch longer wheelbase). Given its roots, it should come as no surprise that the Model X looks like vertically stretched Model S with increased ride height.
