2020, a year otherwise marked by the Covid-19 pandemic, has seen some astonishing developments in the field of technology — particularly the automobile industry. Space X and Tesla group’s CEO Elon Musk is either known for his ambitious plans to carry out public level space expeditions or for his self-driving AI-based vehicles. He didn’t let the pandemic overwhelm and instead launched an all-new 2020 Tesla Model X.
The 2020 Tesla Model X is being billed as the greenest—and one of the fastest SUVs in the world. This all-new Masterly crafted Tesla Model X is a crossover cousin to the brand’s iconic Model S sedan, but the X is actually more practical.
Tesla Model X features all-wheel drive, a high-tech cabin with room for up to seven, and striking but fussy Falcon Wing doors.
2020 Model X delivers more than 300 miles/ 482 km of electric range and is equipped with powerful folding falcon-wing doors.
