Tesla Motors made a big splash onto the electric car (http://www.dailytech.com/Tesla+Motors+Unveils+AllElectric+Model+X+Crossover/article23978.htm#) scene with its Roadster. While pricey at roughly $100,000 (http://www.dailytech.com/Tesla+Motors+Begins+Production+of+Allelectric+Road ster/article11123.htm), the two-seater was praised for its peppy performance, excellent handling, and sleek styling.
Tesla Motors' second entry into the electric vehicle (http://www.dailytech.com/Tesla+Motors+Unveils+AllElectric+Model+X+Crossover/article23978.htm#) market isn't even publicly available yet, but its 2012 production run is already sold out. The Model S is a gorgeous sedan (http://www.dailytech.com/Tesla+Model+S+Officially+Priced+from+49990+after+T ax+Credit+Available+Summer+12/article23568.htm) that ranges in price from $57,400 to $87,400 (before a $7,500 tax credit). The base model has a 40 kWh lithium-ion battery pack and has a 160-mile range. The top-end model comes with an 85 kWh lithium-ion battery and can travel up to 300 miles on a charge.
According to the New York Times, the Model X will be available in three battery capacities (40, 60, and 85 kWh) and will make the sprint from 0 to 60 mph in around 4.4 seconds. Automobile Magazine adds that the Model X will come standard with a rear-mounted 300hp electric motor, but a 150hp front-mounted motor will be optional to make the vehicle AWD (http://www.dailytech.com/Tesla+Motors+Unveils+AllElectric+Model+X+Crossover/article23978.htm#). In addition, the maximum driving range for the Model X is said to be between 214 to 267 miles.
