Tesla Model X Electric SUV: Ultimate Guide To Electric Luxury SUVTesla Model X Electric SUV: Ultimate Guide To Electric Luxury SUV

The first Tesla Model S electric sedans hadn’t even been delivered when the company announced its Model X electric crossover utility vehicle in February 2012.
Since then, it’s become one of the most anticipated new electric cars.
The Model X’s incorporation of Model S styling and technology features into a more practical utility vehicle body–along with its unusual roof-hinged “Falcon doors”–made it popular from the get-go.
While Tesla has pushed the vehicle’s launch date back multiple times, public enthusiasm doesn’t seem to have diminished. Indeed, Tesla now says it has more than 20,000 orders for the car.

The very first deliveries are expected before the end of this month, though, so we’ve compiled all of our related articles for you to peruse.
The newest articles are at the top of each section, with older coverage further down.
Basic information
The Model X is an electric crossover that’s expected to use a platform based on that of the Model S sedan, with some version of that car’s dual-motor all-wheel drive system. Tesla has shown prototypes before, so the styling is already somewhat familiar. And, of course, the Model X has those wicked Falcon doors.
