2015 Tesla Model X Crossover Reservations: 13,000, Maybe

For an electric sedan priced above the reach of many people, sales of the Tesla Model S have been rather impressive so far.

That relative popularity should also carry over to the firm's upcoming crossover, the 2015 Tesla Model X.

The Tesla Motors Club is tracking Model X reservations, and so far that number has crept over 13,000 units worldwide, with over 10,000 units in North America alone.

The club notes that these numbers should be taken with a grain of salt, and are based on the sequence number of reservation holders across the world rather than solid data from Tesla Motors. The number does not consider any cancellations, and reservation holders who may have upgraded from a regular production model to a Signature have been counted twice.

Even if vaguely accurate though, early demand for the Model X should be high--13,000 units is more than half of the 2013 Model S production total.

That's despite the Model X likely costing more than the sedan--with its striking "falcon doors" and all-wheel drive layout. The latter will be standard on the Model X, following "strong customer feedback" that the crossover should feature four driven wheels.
