From the Tesla forums:

Dear Model X reservation holders,

Falcon wing doors, all-wheel drive, and the most stylish way to combine an SUV’s utility with a sports car’s performance. Model X will be a production car that exceeds the promises made when we first showed the concept.
In the fall, we’ll start building Model X prototypes on a newly expanded and integrated production line at our factory in Fremont, CA. The first Model X cars for you, our reservation holders, will be produced starting in early 2015.

We’re pleased to confirm that the falcon wing doors will be a defining feature of this exceptional car. Not only do these doors look amazing, but they also make getting in and out of the Model X so much easier than would a conventional front-hinged door. You can even do it standing up.

We’ll also deliver a level of functionality and practicality that will exceed what you saw on the concept vehicle. We can confirm that all-wheel drive will come standard for Model X, and you’ll have the option to add a third row of seats to carry more passengers. You’ll also be able to fold down the second and third rows to create a flat platform for storage. When it comes to charging and long distance drives, Model X will be able to take full advantage of our rapidly growing Supercharger network.

These features combine to offer power, speed, and space – all packaged in an all-electric vehicle that looks and drives like it comes from the future.

We’ll have more to say about Model X in the coming months, so stay tuned for updates. Thank you for your confidence in Tesla.

If this is a form letter, sent to all reservation holders, it could be bad news because the latest previous Model X delay put deliveries at the end of this year, not some time in ‘early 2015’. Also one of the images of the Model X has rear view mirrors and the other has cameras. WTF

    Good eye on the camera inconsistency. Can’t believe that one slipped by.

    Looking closely at them again reminded of how weird the camera version looks. It would be amazing without anything there (or flush-mounted cameras) though the tiny things sticking out reminds me of a t-rex’s stubby little arms. Something just a little more substantial might be more fitting.
