Tesla Model X five-seat deliveries begin - new hope for a seven-seat plaid version?

Tesla has begun deliveries of a five-seat variant of the new Model X, adding a bit more variety to the flagship all-electric SUV’s seating options. The five-seat Model X variants are quite popular due to their practicality, as they maximize the huge rear cargo area of ​​the vehicle. Unlike the six- and seven-seat interior options, the five-seat interior for the Model X also comes at no extra charge.

Preliminary reports of the five-seater delivery of the Model X were shared later this week Tesla Motors Club, with a member who took delivery of the vehicle confirmed several features on the interior of the revamped flagship SUV. Similar to the older five-seat Model X units, the revised Model X also features rear seats with a 60/40 split, with wider seats on the driver’s side.

Unlike the revamped Model S – which features wireless charging for rear passengers – the new Model X doesn’t have wireless charging in the second row. This is not surprising given the vehicle’s seating configuration, although it is a notable difference from the interior of its flagship sedan sibling. Photos of the Model X’s coat hook, which is behind the second row seat, have also been shared TMC,

With deliveries now starting for the five-seat Model X, it appears that Tesla is ready to expand the seating options for its flagship all-electric SUV once again. With that in mind, it wouldn’t be surprising if the company also opens up more seating options for the Model X Plaid.

So far, Tesla has been offering the Model X Plaid exclusively as a six-seater. However, with the delivery of the five-seat Model X now starting, it probably won’t be too difficult for Tesla to offer the base interior of the vehicle to Plaid as well. Introducing a five-seat Model X Plaid option could help make the Monster all-electric SUV more affordable, given that the six-seat interior is listed as a $6,500 upgrade in the company’s vehicle configurator Is.

Interestingly, Tesla has already showcased the Model X Plaid with a seven-seat interior. During a press event in Taiwan in January, the company brought its revamped Model S and Model X. The Model X that Tesla brought to the event was a plaid version, but it was equipped with a seven-seat interior. The vehicle received warm reviews from EV owners, as the seven-seat interior makes the Model X Plaid more practical – which is certainly an added advantage for customers who are buying the 1,020 horsepower SUV who would like to see the supercar in a straight line. I can beat.

Tesla Model Y welcomed by Kansas PD, expected to give cost savings – Elon Musk - Elon Musk

In a recent press release, the Leawood Police Department in Kansas announced that it had acquired a Tesla Model Y Long Range for its fleet. The vehicle would be used as one of the Leawood PD’s patrol cars. The Model Y has already been painted in the Leawood PD’s black and white colors. The department noted that they started looking into the idea of an all-electric patrol car last year after seeing dismal reviews of available hybrid patrol cars. Captain Kirt Yoder, the agency’s project manager, noted that Tesla Kansas had been quite helpful. “I ended up contacting about ten agencies from New York to California. Tesla-Kansas City was great. They were eager to help and answer all our questions,” he said. Apart from being a green vehicle, the Model Y is also expected to give the Leawood Police Department substantial cost savings. Over a year ago, a cost comparison already showed that the department’s Ford Explorer patrol SUV would cost about $4,500 per year to run. That was a time w...

Sen. Joe Manchin blasts EV tax credit expansion, calls for hydrogen development

West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin blasted a potential expansion of the electric vehicle (EV) tax credit on Thursday, while also calling for the development of the hydrogen sector to decarbonize the transportation industry. Manchin, who called a Biden administration proposal to broaden the EV tax credit program “ludicrous,” said the waiting period for EVs right now is already so long that there is no point to offering more money to incentivize consumers to buy a battery-powered car. “There is a waiting list for EVs right now, with the fuel prices, but they still want us to throw a $5,000, or $7,000 or $12,000 credit for us to buy electric vehicles,” said during a Thursday Senate budget hearing. Manchin added that production volumes of EVs are far away from fulfilling current demand levels, so it would be ridiculous to offer additional funding to the programs. It is evident that EVs are becoming more popular, and with automakers in nearly all situations relating to EVs still workin...
