Tesla to Launch All-Electric SUV by September

Electric car and energy storage company Tesla will launch its new SUV Model X in the next two months, sporting gull-wing doors.

The model was unveiled in 2012 by the company, founded by billionaire Elon Musk, says The Telegraph.

It was earlier reported that the production would be initiated the following year, but for unknown reasons the launch was shelved.

Musk, who had co-founded online transaction firm Paypal, informed that the Model X would be introduced later this quarter.

Musk said: "The Model X is a particularly challenging car to build, maybe the hardest car to build in the world... But it is an amazing vehicle and I think it will blow people away.

"Our biggest challenges are with the second-row seat. It's an amazing seat, a sculptural work of art, but a very tricky thing to get right."

Mr Musk told the newspaper that the next few years would be 'transformational from a product perspective', following the establishment of the high-performance Model S as the best-selling electric car in the US.

He said the carmaker's delivery would hover between 50,000 and 55,000 cars this year, showing a revision from earlier 55,000. Musk attributed it to some supply chain woes.
