The coming-out party for Tesla’s long-awaited all-electric Model X sport utility vehicle (SUV), originally slated to debut in 2013, drew more than a thousand people to a Tesla building in Fremont, Calif., a city between Oakland and San Jose that’s home to the company’s lone assembly plant. Tesla CEO Elon Musk took the stage and walked a rapt audience through the vehicle’s features. A Model X pulling an Airstream trailer demonstrated its 5,000-pound tow capacity.
Tesla aims to deliver 50,000 to 55,000 vehicles this year, compared with a previous target of 55,000, partly owing to production challenges with the Model X’s complex middle-row seats. “The X really sets a new bar for automotive engineering,” Musk, the company’s chief executive officer, told reporters before the event. “It’s like a car from the future.”
