CEO Elon Musk says Tesla Motors Inc. will begin delivering its Model X electric crossover vehicle within the next four months.

The all-wheel-drive car, originally due in 2013, will share its platform with Tesla's only other current production vehicle, the $76,000-$106,000 Model S sedan. Model X production was delayed by technical problems with the crossover's upwardly opening gullwing doors.

Tesla reportedly aims to sell 10,000-15,000 Model X vehicles per year. The company says it has 20,000 "reservations" for the new car, whose price has not yet been announced. Analysts predict the Model X will be priced about the same as the Model S. Tesla plans to introduce the $40,000 Model III compact electric sedan in 2017.

    One of the things that rarely gets the amount of attention that it should in a typical “car review” is the fact that for a considerable amount of time drivers are not “getting on the throttle” because for a considerable number of drivers, they’re “dwelling on the binders,” a.k.a., sitting with their foot depressed on the brakes, perhaps lifting every now and then in order to nudge forward in traffic.
