DETROIT, MI - Tesla Motors co-founder and CEO Elon Musk has said the company's forthcoming Model X crossover will double its sales volume, according to Bloomberg.

Musk reportedly did not elaborate on the comment, which he made this week at a conference in Sun Valley, Idaho.

The Model X, a falcon-winged vehicle that was on display as a concept at the 2013 Detroit auto show but hasn't been seen there since, is supposed to be introduced as a production vehicle during the current quarter.

Tesla is reportedly banking on sales of the Model X to help the California electric vehicle maker reach a goal of delivering a total of 55,000 units (including all models) this year. The company delivered 11,507 Model S cars in the second quarter of this year. In the first half, it delivered a total of 21,552 units.
