Tesla Model X news: Elon Musk reveals production line photo, spy cams show vehicle's test runs
Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk dropped by Instagram over the weekend to reveal a photo of the company's new production line, in preparation for the coming of the Tesla "Model X."

Featuring exhilarating acceleration, falcon wing doors, and room for three rows of seating, Model X defies categorization."
