John is right and as always,
John is right and as always, Tesla's die-hard enthusiasts will take every opportunity to diminish anyone who speaks logically and authoritatively about this company. Good for you, John. "Failure to Launch" is an appropriate title since Tesla has missed multiple promised Model X production and delivery dates since 2013, just as it did earlier with the Tesla Roadster and Model S. Delivering only a dozen or so examples to great fanfare - at up to $144,000 each – is symbolic and does not constitute a new model launch in any real sense. It does represent a great media and investor opportunity, though. The Model X launch will occur when deliveries of these vehicles begin in earnest.
