Model X is the crossover vehicle from the Tesla Motors who manufacture electric cars. Tesla had earlier announced that the mass production of Model X would begin late 2013 but at the beginning of March, 2013 though a press release, the company has informed about the postponement of the production to 2014. There were no specific reasons mentioned by Tesla for this postponement but the market watchers have learned that Tesla has picked up few lessons from their Model S and wish to implement them in Model X.

The benefits offered by an electric car can be categorized into three types i.e. (A) Technological; (B) Environmental and (C) Monitory benefits. Electric cars are energy efficient as they can convert the energy supplied through them. That is more than 60% of the electricity supplied through the grid would efficiently power the wheels. Whereas the gasoline based vehicles are capable of converting less than 20% of the fuel supplied through them. Electric cars the most quiet while operating and smooth in their functioning. They also have powerful acceleration capabilities.

In today's pollution scenario, vehicles that run with fossil fuels are the largest and biggest contributors. They release many harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. On the other hand full electric cars do not have any tailpipe emissions and thus safeguard the environment by not releasing any pollutant. The only contribution of EVs would be through the power plants from which they draw the power. But if the power used by EVs come from wind power, hydro or solar systems then this indirect contribution also gets eliminated completely.

Many of the governments across the globe have announced financial benefits to the owners of electrical vehicles. In the USA in particular, federal government has announced an income tax rebate of $7,500 for all types of electric vehicles that are purchased after 2010. Individuals who bought electric cars like tesla model s or any such vehicles can use this tax benefit toward the AMT (Alternative Minimum Tax).

Speed thrills and kills as well but even the peace lovers too would find an electric car being slow like a snail. Most of these cars would not speed more than 70mph and thus become sluggish to drive on highways. Researchers at electric car company like Tesla are working hard to design new electric cars which could overcome all these hurdles and the future of the EVs market depend on the success of these researches.
