Rumour: Tesla Model X to start production next week?
The rumours surrounding Tesla's much-hyped Model X are continuing, with Tesla chat board members yesterday claiming that the reason Tesla has temporarily halted factory tours is because they are secretly gearing up Model X production. This seems likely, as we know that Elon Musk has promised deliveries "in two months", however the chat boards are also full of speculation as to exactly what will be delivered, with some believing it may only be demo cars rather than the final product ready to be delivered to customers.

NigelM said: Tesla using the summer shutdown to prepare for Model X is no surprise. All the indications we have from Tesla suggest we'll see Model X by the the end of September. Production would not leap from zero into high gear. If production was about to go into high gear I'd have been asked to configure already, that hasn't happened yet. Click to expand...

The exact quote was "I'm not as sure on the timing but Irecently placed orders will be getting this change." We still haven't seen the front of the Model X without camo, and there's no way in hell Tesla would show the Model S with a body color nose cone before the Model X reveal, if that is the route they want to go. So it remains to be seen if that rumor is accurate.There can be as little as one day between the design studio being launched and non-founder production vehicles starting to get built, but obviously there'll be a ramp-up.Anyway, I'm not saying that one should trust "throwawayaccount" blindly, take his claims with a big scoop of salt. But they could be accurate.
