After its official unveiling last year, the Tesla Model X encountered some problems or issues highlighted by the faulty falcon doors. The company said that the issues are not widespread and are merely isolated cases. It added that the Model X that will be produced and will be released in October this year will not have issues or problems.
However, more than its present mechanical issues, the Model X actually has to deal with the fact that while it was launched last year, it was super late.
It was Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk who made a pronouncement sometime in 2012 that the Model X would arrive in early 2014. When early 2014 came, the vehicle was still a no-show. Later that year, it was said that the vehicle would finally be rolled out early in 2015. That also did not happen.
Finally, it was unveiled in November last year but its official roll out is set in October this year or almost three years from the company’s promise.
Musk, later on, explained that the Model X has an exceedingly complicated design which contributed to the delay. He was even quoted as saying during the Model X launching late last year that he is not sure that a carmaker should have made the car.
Reports also have it that the test drivers of the Model X are experiencing double-vision driving the SUV at night, which is an effect called ghosting. Tesla said that it is already addressing the very few complaints that it is receiving related to ghosting.
