Tesla is planning to launch a crossover named Tesla Model X in the near future and its first prototype was recently discovered on public roads.

Tesla succeeded to disrupt the global automotive industry with the current generation sedan Model S but apparently, they are not satisfied. The Americans have decided to widen the range of models to increase sales volume and to enter new segments.

The manufacturer said that Model X will be released on the assembly line in the third quarter of 2015 and since the car was already surprised on public roads it shows that the new model is very close to production.

We already know some technical details about the new crossover. The car will be equipped with a standard all-wheel-drive system and doors will keep the "The Seagull" (Gullwing) opening method! Optionally available is the third row of seats and folding both seats would create a flat floor.

The car will be equipped with four electric motors, one for each wheel and will be available in two power versions with 60 and 85 kW battery/h, which will give the car a range of 368 and 480 km respectively.
