Tesla CEO Elon Musk has revealed more details on the specs of the new Tesla Model X SUV during his company's annual meeting in June.
"We want to make sure, obviously, that some of the key features of the Model X, particularly the falcon-wing door, and the way that the second row seats are done, and a few other things that people aren't aware of, are done just right," Renew Economy quotes the product architect as saying. "Getting those final nuances right for the Model X is what we're focused on right now."
Although there's no concrete detail on its pricing, Renew Economy claims that it will have the same price tag as that of the BMW X5, which right now costs $A84,200.
