Tesla Motors Inc., the electric-car maker run by entrepreneur Elon Musk, unveiled a battery-powered sport-utility vehicle with “gull-wing” doors that will go on sale next year after the Model S sedan’s debut.
The Model X, touted by Tesla as faster than Porsche AG’s 911 sports car and roomier than Audi AG’s Q7 SUV, will be built in 2013 at the company’s Fremont, California, plant that starts making the Model S this year. Deliveries will begin late next year and increase throughout 2014, Musk said in an interview.
