Lutz is right about cost cutting. The Model X is a boondoggle; even Musk admitted they over engineered it, and they should have made the rear doors optional for those who want a roof rack.

A huge benefit of ev's was supposed to be the cost savings in using a single platform with multiple bodies. The Model S already had an all wheel drive platform, so I don't understand why Musk wouldn't take advantage of that with the Model X. IMHO that was a huge, huge mistake that's going to cost shareholders a ton of money.
