The Tesla Model X is a proposed full-sized battery electric crossover SUV being designed by Tesla Motors. Current plans are for a market launch by 2014, with an unveiling in late December 2011.[1][2]
The Model X is being developed from the full-size sedan platform of the Tesla Model S, and will be produced alongside it at the Tesla Factory in Fremont, California. It is expected to qualify for the $7,500 U.S. federal tax credit for Plug-in electric vehicle.
Tesla Motors and Toyota announced in July 2010 that the two companies have signed an agreement to initiate the development of a second generation of the compact Toyota RAV4 EV. Toyota plans to introduce the model into the market by 2012.[3]
