car maker Tesla Motors unveiled Tuesday its second vehicle to hit local streets: the Model X, a family-friendly all-electric sports utility vehicle (SUV) that starts at around NT$4.04 million.
The Model X is the third vehicle produced by the automaker, after the Roadster — which was discontinued in 2012 — and the Model S sedan.
