Tesla preps for Model X production with assembly line revamp
In order to boost output of the Model S and to prepare for production of the Model X SUV, Tesla has paused work at its only plant for two weeks. Bloomberg reports that $100 million in upgrades are on tap for the factory that will allow both vehicles to be constructed on the same assembly line. The changes will also increase production of the Model S sedan by 25 percent. As you may recall, the company’s electric SUV has been delayed more than once, so by now there’s a few folks anticipating the expected 2015 arrival.
