In addition to the Founders, another exclusive line of Model X cars called the “Signature Series” was expected to begin shipping shortly after the Founders models.

Tesla Motors says customers who ordered non-special edition Model X SUVs can now personalize and price their cars. Three months ago, user groups estimated that around 30,000 pre-orders for the Model X had been received, 10,000 more than the number revealed in September of 2014.

The step clearly shows that any issue big or small is dealt with properly and the company highly values its customers and will leave no stone unturned to ensure their safety. However, prices start at a steep US$132,000. With a 90 kWh battery pack, the P90D has a range of 250 miles.

Prices mentioned for the 70D is applicable for the 5-seater version and will require another $3,000 for the 6-seater model.

But these were all special, fully-loaded P90D Signature Series models-with all available options, and the largest battery pack-priced from $135,000.

Electric auto manufacturer Tesla Motors has opened its first store location in Calgary at CF Chinook Centre.

The standard interior configuration offers five seats, but six- and seven-seat options are available.

A Tesla spokesperson told news service Bloomberg the fault was discovered in November 2015 when someone in the front seat of a European Model S turned to speak to an occupant in the rear and the seatbelt became disconnected. In addition, there are a few states that offer incentives.

Tesla’s contraversial Autopilot feature will set you back $2,500, which is not too bad once the bugs are ironed out. A $4,500 premium upgrade package includes an air filtration system with a fanciful “bioweapon defense mode”. As Musk tweeted at the time of the Model X’s unveiling, the 70D starts at $80,000, which is $5,000 more than the base Model S sedan.

Delivery of base Model X’s will arrive late next year with earlier arrival if you opt for a more expensive trim level.

Tesla’s every move is being closely watched by the rest of the automakers, many of them planning similar vehicles soon to be launched that look to steal some of the pie Elon Musk’s company has been munching on its own lately.
