But even before the Model S hits the road this summer, the company is stoking interest in electric vehicles, Model X.

Described in the filing of the regulation as having a “car design as function with SUVS”, the first prototype Model X will be unveiled March 9 in the Tesla design studio in Hawthorne, near downtown Los Angeles.

Invitation-spartan details, except that the event starts at 7–who emailed me last week to the investment community journalists and customers who had booked the series S signature Model. Tesla says it expects first delivery Model x at the end of 2013.

The Model x was built on a car platform Model S but has several design features of SUVs. It is expected to come up with three batteries of various options and will be produced at the factories Tesla in Fremont. Important details–including paint colors-price and has not been announced.

“It’s pretty revolutionary for the SUV segment,” CEO Elon Musk said on a conference call with investors earlier this month. “It’s really great.”

After the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989, the family values of East Germany at the border to a flood of new life in their small, rattly Trabants-backup cars but thriftily icons created for decades in the Communist country.

Once at the border, many families left their “Trabis”–who wore a cast for two-stroke engine similar to lawn mowers souped-up and the body of the statue out of a plastic reinforced with cotton or wool–leaving them scattered across the no man’s land or dumped on the streets.

More than two decades after the last slide of the Trabant production line Sachsenring’s in Zwickau, Germany, at least three have found new homes in Longmont-welcome-two with Charlie Bigsby (although one mostly cannibalized for parts) and one with John short.

With only about 100 or so Trabants in the United States, which makes the Longmont East Germany car cultural hotspots.

It might take a certain kind of person (and the right) to fall in love with the Trabant, the Bigsby and short. The cars are often maligned has loads of jokes are seemingly endless-how do you double the value of the Trabant? Filling the gas tank-and when Germany reunite, the biggest problem with how to get rid of those Trabants.
