It may have taken Tesla four years to bring out its first new model since the launch of the Roadster back in 2008 but the same won’t occur for the electric car startup’s third model, the long-rumored Model X crossover due out in time for the 2013 or 2014 model year.
Tesla’s current focus is on the Model S electric sedan due next year, which has been confirmed to include four different trim levels including a high-performance, BMW M5-rivaling sports variant.
However, work is well underway on a crossover to share the Model S’ aluminum chassis and running gear and we should see the first fruits of that labor as early as this November’s 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show.

We know for sure that ...
- The 2012 Tesla Model X crossover will be unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show in mid-November
- It will carry "seven full-size adults" in three full rows of seating, unlike the optional pair of child-sized jump seats in the rear of the Model S
- It will have the same level of luxury as the Model S
- Tesla hopes to sell up to 15,000 Model X vehicles a year, as Musk said in an August earnings call
- The Model X will "incorporate the functionality of a minivan with the consumer appeal of a sports-utility vehicle," according to Tesla's SEC filings
- In June, Tesla raised an additional $210 million to fund Model X development and related projects
And suspect....
We suspect that ...
- The Model X will cost as much as, or more than, the Model S
- Its platform will have a longer wheelbase than the Model S sedan
- The Tesla crossover will offer all-wheel drive, though we can't say whether it will be standard or optional
