As a Sig X reservation holder and shareholder, these are some of the Model X related questions I would love to have an analyst ask and for Elon to answer during the Feb 11th conference call following the earnings release.
- Deliveries:
- The Model X prototype was first shown in 2012, production for testing of the final version began in November 2014 and customer deliveries have been announced to be as early as July 2015 – When will the final product be shown publically, especially to the 20,000+ reservation holders, who have waited for more than 3 years in some cases?
- There was a cell phone video posted on the internet recently purported to be the Model X. Can you confirm that was the Model X?
- Do you expect the first deliveries in July of 2015 and how many units do you project to deliver in 2015?
- Do you expect the Model X to cannibalize sales of the Model S?
- Has the launch of the dual motor Model S resulted in Model X reservation cancellations in favor of Model S 85D orders?
- Technology:
- The ability to make incremental battery improvements have been mentioned by Tesla on many occasions. It has been about 3 years since the launch of the Model S. Will the Model X take advantage of incremental improvement in battery technology and use a battery cell with a higher energy density than the battery currently used in the Model S?
- What is the projected battery size / range offerings of the Model X?
- COST:
- How will the price of the Model X compare to a similarly equipped Model S 85D?
