Tesla Introduces New Family-Friendly "X" Model

Tesla is perhaps best known for its awesome Roadster, which is an all-electric sports car that can challenge the Porsche 911 Turbo in terms of speed and horsepower (if not range). Tesla was the first major company to step up production and advertisement of an all-electric vehicle, and has expanded its model lineup with the Tesla "S" and now, due in 2014, the Tesla "X." The X model is, according to the company, a mix between an SUV and a minivan and was designed for women drivers - what this means, I have no idea, but I'm expecting it to be much more accessible and comfortable for women. There have already been 500 orders for the X model, and it's still a year away from being complete and showable. However, it DOES have gullwing doors, so this blogger's pretty excited to see it. Auto transportation companies have yet to see it, considering that it's still in design and production, but at the same time they're anticipating more Tesla models being shipped in the coming years.
