We’re expecting Tesla to announce more details regarding pricing and options for the Model X at its event. That puts it in the same league as supercars or the Challenger Hellcat.

Tesla plans to deliver 50,000 to 55,000 Model X and Model S cars in 2015.

Tesla’s website has deleted the combined horsepower rating for the P85D, even though these ratings are still listed for the other dual-motor versions. And NextEV may gain huge market share if the company succeeds in making cars stable and better than those of Tesla. But that doesn’t explain it all.

A few year ago, there weren’t very many auto makers that took Tesla, and fellow startups such as Coda and Fisker, seriously. Then …

As of this writing, whether there is more to the event other than its pricing, those things still remain unclear. There was a screenshot post posted on the Tesla Motors Club forum by a customer that showed the Model X configurator page showing a claim of 250 mile range. In the whole session, it traded on volume of 12.94 Million shares, which turned higher than its average volume. At this point, it’s hard to know how much this will affect demand as well as cannibalization of the Model S.
