Histori
Initially Tesla is planned for deliveries beginning in early 2014. However, in February 2013, the company announced that shipments have been rescheduled to begin at the end of 2014 to reach its production target of 20,000 Model S cars by 2013. In November 2013, Tesla said it expected to start the production of high-volume Model X in the second quarter of 2015. In November 2014, Tesla re-delayed and announced that the delivery of the Model X will begin in the third quarter of 2015. Deliveries begin on September 29, 2015. Among the reasons for the delay are problems with the falcon wing doors and cooling motor when hauling trailer.
In 2016, the company filed a lawsuit against the Swiss hydraulic Hoerbiger Holding company for not producing a satisfactory walcon-wing door for Model X. Tesla claims doors have oil leaks and excessive heat. Many believe this is one of the reasons for the delay of Model X. The lawsuit was settled in September 2016.
On July 29, 2015, Tesla announced a referral program even though October 31, 2015 where Model S owner referring 10 new buyers had the option to purchase the Founder X Series Model for the base model price. The first person (in each of the three regions: America, Europe, Asia-Pacific) to reach these 10 reference points will be given this model for free.
On July 13, 2016, Tesla introduced the Model X 60D, which costs slightly lower than the initial price of Model X. The X 60D model has a range of 200 mi (320 km) and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in 6 seconds, with a top speed of 130 mph (210 mph/h). The battery can be upgraded by software to 75 kWh.
Tesla plans to use the X Model platform for Tesla Minibus.
Global sales exceeded 10,000 units in August 2016, with most cars shipped in the United States. In August 2016, Tesla introduced the P100D with Ludicrous Mode to the new top X Model.

In October 2016 Tesla discontinued the 60D version and made the standard "Smart Air Suspension" a spring substitute, raising the base price to $ 85,000.

Design
A series production vehicle was inaugurated on September 29, 2015. It has a panoramic windshield. According to Tesla founder Elon Musk, this is the safest SUV in terms of frontal and side impact collisions, being more than twice as safe from the closest SUVs in rollover tests as well. The X model does not come with Autopilot as standard, but has an optional Enhanced Tesla Autopilot. The Model X has a standard collision avoidance system that uses radar-based autonomous emergency braking (AEB) and side-directed ultrasonic detection that keeps cars away from threats. Tesla uses a wide-band radar system to help prevent the falcon's wing doors hitting nearby objects when opening or closing.
The Model X has a double hinged falcon wing door, which opens upwards allowing the leading edge of the door to remain tucked close to the body, unlike the traditional gull wing doors. Tesla says the eagle door makes access easier. Model X offers space for seven adults and their suitcases in three rows of seats and the front and rear.

Over the years, the Model X has been available with five lithium-ion battery packs, rated either 60, 70, 75, 90, or 100 kWÃ, Â · h. The highest performance version of the P100D model runs from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in 2.9 seconds and 1 / 4 mile (400 meters) in 11.4 seconds, surpassing the fastest SUV and most sports cars. The all-wheel drive system of Model X uses two motors (one for the front and the other for the rear wheels), unlike conventional AWD systems that have a single power source. Tesla Model X 100D has an official EPA value range of up to 295 mi (475 km).
The company plans to offer a rear-wheel drive model, but all models use all wheel drive. The AWD standard has 259 horsepower (193 kilowatts) on the front and rear engines, while the performance edition has 259 hp (193 kW) front and 503 hp (375 kW) rear. With an optional towbar, Model X has a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds (2,300 kg). At the 55 mph speed limit (89 km/h) in California, Model X may have 70% of the 257 mi (414 km) EPA range listed when pulling a 2,300 kg (2,300 kg) travel trailer. The car is the only EV available with a lift crane.

After the first quarter of 2016 all Tesla Model X shipments have been delivered to US customers. However, in January 2016 Tesla cars other than Model S were registered in Germany and Tesla Model X was seen driving there with license plates from Ingolstadt. Since Audi's headquarters is located in Ingolstadt, this has led to speculation that Audi has acquired Tesla Model X as part of its efforts to develop its own battery-electric SUV.
Tesla produced 507 Model X in the fourth quarter of 2015, of which 206 were delivered to customers. Sales of Model X reached 2,400 units during the first quarter of 2016. According to Tesla Motors, shipments are lower than expected because production is affected by the lack of a severe Model X component in the first two months of 2016, and because Tesla is too ambitious in wanting advanced features (committed " vanity").

Additional 13,120 units shipped in the fourth quarter of 2017, for a total annual shipment of 46,535 units globally. By December 2017, cumulative sales from the start numbered about 72,099 units.
Reception
Consumer Reports writes that the Model X 90D all-wheel drive is very disappointing, because the back door tends to stop and stop, the second row seats are not folded, and the cargo capacity is too limited.

And adds that overall "travel is too hard and choppy for a $ 110,000 car".

Falcon Wing, Elon; windshield is the best Model X gimmick ". Overall, it was rated 5/5 stars, stating "There are no other electric SUVs at the moment, and even against fossil fuel-fueled SUVs, Tesla's easy performance and efficiency can not be matched."
Automotive journalist Jeremy Clarkson made his first review of Tesla's vehicle after 10 years on his TV show The Grand Tour in February 2018; Clarkson gave a positive review of a car he called "unusual" unlike anything else on the road.

The lead researcher for the team said they were informing Tesla about the findings and most of the cars were patched by renewal one month after Tesla was made aware of the issues.
Call back

NHTSA estimates 16,000 accidents per year in the US caused when the driver intends to apply the brakes but incorrectly implement the accelerator.
