You could easily miss it skimming through Tesla’s quarterly shareholder letter, but the company offered up a more specific time frame for its all-electric Model X SUV.
Snuck into a section detailing Tesla’s current production capacity, the company notes that as it prepares to launch the Model X in September, it’s building more test vehicles and finalizing arrangements with suppliers.
