When you think about it, that's a clever and at the same time cheap marketing stunt. But we don't care if that theory is correct or not, as long as we get to see more pictures of the awaited Model X all-electric crossover from Tesla Motors. Last time we saw the Model X on the move, the one who photographed the electric crossover told us the car looks like a Model S with a pug nose. However, the car was only photographed from behind, so we couldn't confirm what the guy was saying. This time, the Tesla Model X was captured from the front in Los Altos, but it's wearing the traditional layer of white camouflage. However, we can't see any pug nose shape there, despite the fact that Tesla Model S styling cues are obviously present. Also, in an attempt of photobombing, a Nissan Leaf wandered around the Tesla test mule. The pictures were posted by VWVortex forum user hushypushy, and as he noticed, the rear-left door seems a bit offset. Also, the car seems a lot bigger than the Nissan Leaf, despite the fact that when seen from some angles, the two EVs look similar in size. We can't confirm this yet, but we could expect the Model S to be offered in three variants: 70 kWh, 85 kWh and 100 kWh. The two electric motors will provide the car with all-wheel drive while the battery pack should support a maximum range of 230 miles (370 km).

By: Ali Aslani May 31, 2015 [image http://masterherald.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/tesla-model-x.jpg Tesla Model X ] Tesla will be launching its all-electric crossover vehicle which the company calls as Model X in the second half of this year. Thus, it is likely that the American electric car manufacturer is seriously at work in testing the vehicle at this time. True enough, the Tesla Model X was recently sighted having its test runs in the streets of California, details Valuewalk. And it was not just sighted, there were actually photos taken to show that the electric crossover vehicle was undergoing testings recently. But marketing experts suspect that the regularity of the sightings and the photo evidences of the test runs may actually be part of the marketing stunt of Tesla to generate interest on the new all-electric crossover vehicle. Front end A few weeks ago, the Tesla Model X has also been sighted undergoing test runs. The first sighting only showed the back end of the vehicle, which according to the photographer who captured the image, looks like the Tesla Model S that was launched two years ago. The recent sighting however showed the front end of the Tesla Model X which featured a sort of squashed or pug nose, according to the onlooker who apparently captured it on photo. The image showed that the Model X was covered by a customary layer of white camouflage but it was apparent that the car’s looks indeed resemble that of the Model S. There have been scarce details about the long-awaited Model X from Tesla, which was first revealed as early as three years ago when the Tesla CEO unveiled a prototype of the electric crossover. More than 20,000 people have invested a $5,000 deposit for one of the new cars then which reportedly features falcon-wing rear doors and a space capable of conveniently seating seven passengers including the driver. It has also been reported that the all-wheel drive Tesla Model X will have three engine variants whose power will come in 70 kWh, 85 kWh and 100 kWh. It has been said also that the Model X can run a distance of 230 miles without needing to charge its electric batteries. Release date After being delayed by a year, the Tesla Model X will finally be hitting the retail markets in the second half of the year, unless Tesla comes up again with another aberration or excuse to push back the long-awaited market debut of its sport utility crossover electric vehicle. Tesla Model X is a full-size crossover utility vehicle which was unveiled by Tesla Motors in Los Angeles, California as early as February 2012. It is currently being developed from the full-size sedan platform of the Tesla Model S and is being mass produced at the company’s factory in Fremont, California. Production of the Tesla Model X was initially scheduled to start by the end of 2013 but was later postponed by the company several times in order for Tesla Motors to meet its production targets and also to be able to prepare for the overseas roll out of the Tesla Model S. The Tesla Model S has already been launched two years ago and it will hit the global retail markets around the third quarter of 2015. While the all-wheel drive electric vehicle has been reported to roll out to the retail markets in July this year, Elon Musk, Tesla chief executive officer, in a recent interview said that the company is indeed planning to put the Model X on sale by July but its latest earnings press release indicate that the vehicle may actually hit the markets late in the third quarter of 2015 or September. Releasing the Model X, which will sport spiffy gullwing doors and capable of conveniently seating seven passengers including the driver, late in third quarter of 2015 also makes sense since it was produced later than the Model S.
