Tesla Halts Model S Production To Gear Up For Model X SUV

Tesla has hit the pause button on production of its electric Model S sedan, opening a two-week window for assembly line upgrades.

Marking the “single biggest investment” in its California plant since the company began, the upgrades will allow for the new Model X SUV to be built alongside its sedan sibling.

Totalling around US$100 million, the plant’s enhancements will include the addition of 25 robots, along with modifications to its body and general assembly lines.
