Telsa recently updated its US website to include a custom car configurator called the Model X Design Studio, which was previously only available to reservation holders. With the current buzz surrounding the release of the Model X, the latest website update gives US consumers a new glimpse at the electric crossover.
The Model X Design Studio allows those interested in purchasing the Model X to choose from a wide variety of different vehicle options. The base model includes a 75kWH battery, which boasts a range of 237 miles. This model will cost consumers $83, 000, but prices can run as high as $151,200 for those who choose all of the premium options.
By allowing US residents to access its custom car configurator, it seems that Telsa is now willing to take broader orders for the highly anticipated Model X.
