An $80,000 base price puts this Tesla Model X at exactly $5,000 more than the Tesla Model S sedan which both share the same chassis and electrical power units. Only those that have booked the auto have been invited to design the version they’d like to take delivery of.

Crews were busy Monday morning with last-minute touch-ups to the storefront at 73-515 El Paseo, where a new bright red Tesla Model S P90D sits in the showroom, just inside the glass doors.
In October, Tesla released version 7.0 of the Model S software, boosting the vehicle’s self-driving capabilities.
Here are the different configurations of the Model X. Overall, this takes deliveries of the Model X to reach 2,150 units for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year.
Model X customers can now go through Tesla’s configurator to choose between the 70D, 90D and P90D, as well as selecting the additional options like color and interiors.
The first Model Xs that roll off Tesla’s assembly line in Fremont, California, are limited-edition Founders Series that typically go to board members and close friends of the company such as Google Inc co-founder Sergey Brin.
Based on the latest checks performed by the Global Equities Research analyst, who has given the Tesla stock a Buy rating with a 12-month target price of $385, the deliveries of the Tesla Model S are displaying good sequential growth. If you want six seats, that’ll be $3,000 extra, and if you desire seven, prepare to shell out $4,000.
Tesla first revealed the Model X concept in February 2012 and originally said that it would launch its Model X in early 2014, but production was delayed more than a year.
An upgrade package that includes doors that open automatically, a HEPA filtration system with Tesla’s bioweapon defense mode, and other perks costs $4,500.

So, if you worry about safety, Tesla is working on it by recalling all Model S cars for inspection, and if you worry about money, well, it seems that Musk believes the new model is definitely worth it. Air suspensions, optional on the 70D but standard on the other two models, costs $2,500. “We are going to look at every single vehicle”. When the Model X was introduced, CEO Elon Musk promised a lower-priced version “coming later”, and that version arrived this week.
