We've known for some time that Tesla hoped to use the underpinnings of
the luscious Model S as a base platform upon which other cars would be
built, even minivans. Elon Musk in the past has mentioned a Model X
SUV due sometime in 2014 and he's just re-confirmed that we'll be
getting our first glimpse of the thing sometime this year. Few further
details are known but we wouldn't be surprised if it shared some
components with the Tesla-powered Toyota RAV4 EV. Musk also took the
opportunity to re-confirm that a genuinely affordable electric Tesla
is coming by 2015, something priced under $30,000 and, while probably
not quite as bodacious as either the Roadster or the Model S,
hopefully it'll be a bit more invigorating than the Leaf.
