For those who may not be aware, the Tesla Model X spotted at the traffic sign is one of the most powerful and popular electric SUVs across the globe.

With the long-range variant, the Tesla Model X gets a dual-motor setup with a claimed range of 579 km. Meanwhile, the Plaid variant gets a tri-motor setup, but the claimed range drops to 547 km. Both variants get an all-wheel-drive system. The long-range variant can do the 0-100 kmph sprint in 3.8 seconds, whereas the Plaid can do the same in just 2.5 seconds, which is extremely quick, making it the fastest SUV in terms of 0-100 kmph.

Just a few weeks ago, it was also reported that the company is looking to manufacture a Rs 17 lakh EV car for the Indian automotive market. It has been reported that the American EV maker has indicated that the majority of the volumes from its new production facility, which it will set up in India, will be for the Rs 17 lakh (sub-$20,000) electric vehicle. Tesla has stated that it is already working on this vehicle for emerging markets. As of yet, not much is known about this upcoming $25,000 Tesla.
