Tesla Model X new details emerge, production version to feature falcon wing doors
To be available with the 691 HP setup
New details are starting to emerge about the Tesla Model X, expected to be unveiled this year.
The Californian EV produced explains the vehicle will “combine the space and functionality of a sport utility vehicle with seating for seven adults and the uncompromised performance of an electric car”. It has confirmed the production model will feature the concept’s falcon wing doors, “allowing easy access to the third row seat, even from the narrowest of parking spaces”.
The Model X will be offered with the same battery options as the Model S. The entry-level model will be equipped with a 60 kWh-battery and will have 380 HP (280 kW), while the 85 kWh-version will offer the same power with higher range. The range-topping 85 kWh Performance will feature a 691 HP (508 kW) Dual Motor All Wheel Drive system with a range of about 380 km (235 miles).
Tesla has also announced deliveries will start in early 2016 for new reservations.

To debut this year
The Tesla Model X has been caught on camera during test near the company’s factory in California.
The all-electric model appears to be in its final stages of development with only the headlights and taillights being covered with black camouflage. We also noticed some of the windows are taped for some reason.
The crossover is expected to debut before the end of the year, offering “the space and functionality of a sport utility vehicle”, combined with “seating for seven adults and the uncompromised performance of an electric car”. The Model X will be available with the same battery options as the Model S, which means there will be a 60 kWh and 85 kWh versions with 380 HP (280 kW) and a range-topping 85 kWh Performance with 691 HP (508 kW).
From what we know so far, the production vehicle will feature the falcon wing doors from the Model X concept, “allowing easy access to the third row seat, even from the narrowest of parking spaces”.

Musk: Tesla Model X Due Out This Summer
Amid range anxiety and software update news for the Tesla Model S, Elon Musk slipped some more information about the upcoming Tesla Model X crossover that's due this year.
On Thursday, Musk told reporters the Model X would be due this summer. That generally lines up with the most recent reports pegging the long-awaited third Tesla model for the third quarter. Last year, Musk pushed back the Model X's debut from the first quarter of 2015, citing a need to "get the model right."
Other details from Musk's comments suggest the Model X will have a few surprises, probably coinciding with another round of software news.

Spied: Tesla Model X Shows its Bulbous Roofline in Public Again [wVideo]
No, don’t by any means think that Tesla is intently parading barely camouflaged examples of its Model X around!
Yes, testing is what they’re doing, not merely driving the car around hoping somebody will pull out their smartphone, start shooting and then upload it all to YouTube…
This white example was captured in Palo Alto, California, looks like the finished product, and not a pre-production mule. Thye’re probably ironing out the final bugs before the planned release date set for Q3 2015.
The prototype in the video below doesn’t look any different to the one we previously posted, although it could be even more lightly camouflaged than that example.
It needs to be a competent vehicle, and probably more well-rounded than the Model S, as it’s predicted to have direct competitors from mainstream brands in a few years’ time; that’ll really be a challenge for Tesla to compete against.
