the developer of the Tesla line of revolutionaryl automobiles explained that the Model X won't be ready until early next year. The difficulties he said were the development of the production of the batteries and increasing the distribution network including China.
There were photos and a description of the Model X available and they were enough to whet ones appetite. The four wheel drive means there will be twice as many motors as in the popular Model S and has gull wings (they are falcon wings in this case) for rear doors. As Musk mentioned an SUV is much harder to put together than a sedan type automobile.
The only downside of the Model S is the price range ($80,000 to $100,000) and as someone said the auto industry as it sits will be in trouble if the price were to drop to even $40,000. But a fill up is only pennies in electricity so it might even level out in the end. The $80,000 model has a range of 400 kilometers.
The Tesla organization has opened another dealership, this time in the east part of this city which also includes a service department. The nearest dealership to Estonia is Sweden. Per capita Estonia has the most number of charge-up stations in Europe.
Oh well, next year lets hope for the SUV.
