It’s almost here – the next step in the evolution of Tesla’s electric model is nearly ready to arrive to the market, and people have been getting more and more excited about the new launch, discussing it actively on messaging boards and arguing about what the new model might bring to the market. While some see this as just another release in the electric vehicle trend, others have a lot more hope for this model and the impact that it will have on the market.
There are many people claiming that the Model X is a very important release for more reasons than some people are suspecting. It’s one of the models that have managed to convert people to the idea of electric vehicles most successfully, and it has the potential to make a serious impact on the market and truly create a positive impression for electric cars.
That’s part of the problem that Elon Musk and his company have been facing, as well as most of their competitors – even though electric cars have advanced quite a bit since the initial concepts in this field, and they’re very capable vehicles nowadays, some people still see them in a different light and remember the old days when these cars were underpowered and overly expensive.
Tesla have certainly managed to change both of those aspects little by little. On one hand, the new Model X is coming with even better performance than its predecessor, the Model S. The company has also been evolving the network of charging stations they have all across the nation in the meantime, and they’ve been making sure that people will have access to a supercharger wherever they go.
And at the same time, the prices of Tesla’s offers have been going down more and more. That was the company’s plan all along – to start out with expensive, luxury models aimed at people with deep pockets, and use the funding from those sales to develop more budget-friendly cars aimed at the general market. So far, they’ve been moving forward with that plan very well and have been sticking to it all the way.
The Model X is the next step in that plan, as it’s supposed to be a more accessible version of the same base design, with even more features and improvements that have been made in the last couple of years. After that, Tesla should move even lower in their price range, offering a model that should seem interesting to even more people.
Some interesting revelations have come out regarding the Model X recently as well. The company has reportedly been actively talking with female drivers and getting their input on the design of the car, so it looks like it’s strongly aimed at women in one way or another. We don’t know if that means that the car might be slightly less friendly for male drivers, but hopefully that won’t be the case because Tesla have been doing a fine job getting noticed in all segments of the market so far.
But just because they have been consulting women for the design of the car doesn’t mean that they’re trying to exclude men from its target audience. It’s more likely indicative of the opposite – that they’re trying to bring more women to their stores and are attempting to make the model a more universally accepted offer instead of targeting men pretty much exclusively.
