Tesla’s Model X Is Missing the American SUV Craze
- U.S. registrations of the SUV slipped the last two quarters
- Musk calls himself an ‘idiot’ for complicated configurations

While Tesla Inc.’s Model S has been a hit and thousands lined up to order the upcoming Model 3 sedan, the Model X sport utility vehicle hasn’t met the chief executive officer’s expectations. Model X deliveries have yet to keep pace with the Model S, as Musk predicted, and U.S. registrations of the SUV have slipped the last two quarters, according to IHS Markit.
