Release Model X was moved to the third quarter of 2015
SUV from Tesla was supposed to appear on the market in 2013. But the company decided to move out Tesla Model X this year. If anyone of you planning to buy this car, you will have to slightly modify the plans: the release date of Model X was moved again, this time in the third quarter of 2015.
This information is published by Elon Musk, together with its financial reports. In general, the car itself is ready, and housing, and the motor and batteries - it's all there. But the electric car needs additional tests.
As you know, security - the cornerstone of the whole policy of Tesla. Tesla Model S Sedan crushes equipment for crash tests for conventional cars, and gets top marks in the United States and Europe. But the SUV - a new form factor, which must undergo additional testing and validation.
According to Elon Musk, the company should be aware of all the weaknesses of the car to eliminate the deficiencies before the release of the vehicle to the masses.
Well, let's hope that next year the Model X will appear on the market, and the release date of an SUV with an electric motor will not tolerate.
