New car background

The concept version of Tesla's MODEL X debuted at the 2013 North American Auto Show, and as Tesla's third model, the car integrates a range of advanced technologies. However, due to some difficulties in carrying out mass production of some concepts, the car was only officially released in the production version in September 2015 and started accepting reservations. The car's styling has also seen some fine-tuning during the concept-to-production phase, but the core technical features have been retained.

Competitors

With its unique design and pure electric status, the Tesla Model X currently has no direct competitors in the domestic market or even in the international market.

But in China, its price has reached the million dollar level, coupled with its larger size and 7-seat design, it will certainly attract the attention of some luxury brand mid-size SUV consumers who originally planned to buy X5, Q7, etc. For example, the price of X5 xDrive40e is 928,000 yuan. And MODEL X, with its unique positioning, avant-garde environmental protection product concept, and superb acceleration experience, is believed to attract the attention of many elite consumer groups.

Market Outlook

The official launch is mainly the "90" model. In the future, Tesla is expected to further enrich the 70modelsl of MODEL X as an entry product, and the price is expected to be lower. In addition, although Tesla is an imported brand, but currently its MODEL S models in the currently restricted cities can have a new energy license (enjoy the license but do not enjoy subsidies), we expect the future MODEL X can also enjoy the new energy license in restricted cities, but this is still pending official and the official announcement of the relevant regional management departments.
