Tesla Launches Impressive 2025 Model X Lease for July
There are plenty of electric SUVs, but none of them has anything remotely like the Tesla Model X's Falcon Wing doors. Driving a Model X means you get to make a grand entrance or exit wherever you go and have room for the whole family. Tesla's flagship SUV has been around since 2017, and it receives some minor updates, including new 20-inch or 22-inch wheels, increased third-row legroom, and a larger cargo area. Along with the Model S, the X also benefits from new suspension components for a smoother ride, more sound deadening, better active noise cancellation, and a new front camera that aids the adaptive driving lights. The standard all-wheel drive Model X comes with seating for five, but you can upgrade capacity for six or seven. The Model X competes with the Rivian R1S, BMW iX, and the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV. For July, Tesla is offering an attractive lease deal on the Model X All-Wheel Drive. July's Tesla Model X All-Wheel Drive lease is $1,349 per month for 36 months, with a $7,500 down payment, a $0 security deposit, a $695 acquisition fee, and a $7,500 leasing incentive. The total due at lease signing is $9,544, including the first month's payment of $1,349. On the Tesla website, lessees can make changes to the down payment, lease term, and annual mileage, and the adjustments will be made to the monthly lease price accordingly. The mileage limit is 10,000 miles per year or 30,000 for the lease term. A $0.25 per-mile charge applies, along with charges for excessive wear. The monthly lease price excludes tax, license, title, registration, insurance, additional options, and maintenance. A $395 disposition fee is due at the end of the lease term. Learn more here. The non-Plaid version of the Tesla Model X is powered by a 100-kWh battery pack with a 352-mile EPA-estimated range. Total output from the two electric motors driving the front and rear wheels is 670 hp with a 0-60 mph time of 3.8 seconds. That's quicker than the BMW iX Drive50, which will do the same sprint in 4.4 seconds. You also won't spend a lot of time charging the Model X, as it will add 179 miles in just 15 minutes using a Tesla Supercharger. Standard features include 20-inch wheels, adaptive air suspension, 8 exterior cameras, a hands-free rear liftgate, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, heated steering wheel, tri-zone automatic climate control, wireless device charging, a 12.3-inch driver instrument display, a 17.4-inch central touchscreen, a 9.4" second-row touchscreen, a dashcam, a 22-speaker audio system, and front and rear parking sensors. Safety tech that comes standard includes supervised full self-driving, blind-spot collision warning, lane departure avoidance, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking. The Tesla Model X is high on visual drama with its large profile and Falcon Wing doors, but it also delivers great interior space, tech-forward infotainment, sports car-like acceleration, super-fast charging, and excellent all-electric range. The option to increase passenger capacity is a plus, and the added third row space makes the Model X even more usable. Now might be one of the best times to explore this Model X lease deal, especially with a $0 security deposit. Before signing the lease agreement, make sure to account for all costs due at signing, including taxes and registration fees, etc. *Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

As Linda Yaccarinos Resigns As X CEO, Heres Looking Why Twitter Was Rebranded As X
photoDetails english 2932939 Linda Yaccarino last week announced she is stepping down as the CEO of Elon Musk-owned social media platform X, two years after joining the firm. Yaccarino was hired by Musk to run X in 2023, after the billionaire took over the platform, then known as Twitter, in a $44 billion deal in 2022. Amidst Linda's resignation, here's looking why Twitter was rebranded as X. Updated:Jul 17, 2025, 08:58 AM IST Why Is Twitter Called X 1 / 11 Twitter is now called X. Tesla CEO Elon Musk drove this change after acquiring the company in 2022. But why was Twitter rebranded as X? Know everything there is. 1. Stylized 'X' Logo 2 / 11 A stylized new 'X' took the place of Twitter's traditional blue bird logo in 2022. Websites, applications and even the company's headquarters dropped the name Twitter. 2. Rebranding Of Twitter To X 3 / 11 Musk has much bigger plans for X than just using it for microblogging. The rebranding of Twitter to X reflects his aim to transform the social network into a comprehensive 'everything app'. 3. X Social Networking 4 / 11 Musk hopes to make X a multipurpose app like WeChat in China which offers everything one needs to do with an app, from social networking, banking, shopping, etc. 4. Twitter Acquired By X Corp 5 / 11 According to Musk, "Twitter was acquired by X Corp both to ensure freedom of speech and as an accelerant for X, the everything app. This is not simply a company renaming itself, but doing the same thing.' 5. Twitter Name And Initial Logo 6 / 11 "Twitter's name made sense when it was just 140-character, messages going back and forth - like birds tweeting - but now you can post almost anything, including several hours of video," in the words of Musk. 6. Elon Musk On X 7 / 11 "We will add comprehensive communications and the ability to conduct your entire financial world," according to Musk. 7. Elon Musk's Fixation With Letter X 8 / 11 7. Musk has had a longstanding fixation with the letter X. He founded a financial start-up called His space-exploration venture is SpaceX, his artificial-intelligence app is xAI and the Model X is one of electric car company Tesla's earliest models. 8. How Is X Different 9 / 11 X is different from Twitter in that it is much more than a social media networking platform. X has been designed as a super app for messaging, banking and much more. 9. X Followers, Post 10 / 11 Although the name has been changed but all the existing followers, posts and interactions have transitioned to X. This means that social accounts on the social network remain the same. 10. X 'Tweet' 11 / 11 In X, 'tweet' has been replaced with 'post' and 'retweet' with 'repost'.

Used Tesla prices are tumbling as incentives near the end of the road
The price of used EVs continues to decline. The Tesla Models S and X both saw drops of more than 15% from June 2024 to June 2025. On the whole, the EV category saw prices fall 4.8% year over year. Tesla's not only facing challenges with its new cars, its used options are losing their value at a rapid clip as well. The latest numbers from iSeeCars, which tracks used car prices, found the electric-vehicle category has seen prices fall 4.8% year over year, while internal combustion cars and trucks have gotten 5.2% more expensive. Of all EVs, Teslas have seen the steepest declines, perhaps due to the brand's struggles that have come with Elon Musk's increasingly divisive public stance on political and governmental issues. Declining interest in EVs overall is also to blame. A Tesla Model S in June was worth $8,768 less than it was in June of 2024. That's a 15.8% drop. The Model X didn't fare much better, with its value dropping $9,544 (or 15.5%). The Model Y saw the third biggest decline, falling 13.6% ($4,637). Used EV market share growth plummeted to just 14.2% in the past year, iSeeCars reports, which is down from a growth rate of 98% in 2024. While prices are falling, people are getting rid of their EVs at a faster pace, too, with supply increasing. All of the price drops come before the $4,000 incentive for buying a used EV comes to an end on Sept. 30. The loss of that discount could push prices considerably lower. 'Electric vehicles have a role to play in the new and used car market,' said iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer, 'but that role won't be at the level many government and private EV proponents have been touting for years. Everything from market share to pricing suggests EV demand has peaked and will likely decline in the coming years.' This story was originally featured on

Tesla prices across the Gulf: Which models are available in the UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia
Tesla offers Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck across the Gulf, with availability varying by country. TL;DR Tesla launched in the UAE (2017), Qatar (2023), and Saudi Arabia (2025). The UAE is the most advanced Tesla market in the region. All core models, Model 3, Y, S, X, and Cybertruck—are sold in the Gulf. Pricing starts around $45,000 and goes above $120,000 based on model and trim. Charging and service networks are growing across all three countries. When Tesla was founded in 2003, its goal was simple but ambitious: to change the way we think about cars by making electric vehicles the future of transportation. Nearly 22 years later, Tesla's reach has grown well beyond Silicon Valley, making a strong presence in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. The company first arrived in the UAE in 2017, not just as another car brand, but as a catalyst for change in the region's automotive scene. Since then, Tesla has carefully expanded into Qatar in late 2023 and Saudi Arabia in early 2025, tailoring its models and support networks to fit each country's unique pace. Today, the Gulf stands as a vital market in Tesla's global strategy, with even its flagship models available, a clear indication of the region's accelerating adoption of advanced electric mobility and its rising significance in Tesla's international growth. Today, the Gulf stands as a vital market in Tesla's global strategy, with a full range of models available, reflecting the region's accelerating adoption of advanced electric mobility and its increasing significance in Tesla's global growth. United Arab Emirates: Tesla's First Market in the Middle East Tesla's first official Middle East entry began in February 2017, when it launched in the UAE with the Model S and Model X, sold directly via Tesla's website and supported by a growing physical footprint. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo The company began deliveries by mid-2017, opening showrooms and service centers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah, and laying the groundwork for a vast network of over 300 Superchargers—some of them solar-powered. As of 2025, the UAE remains Tesla's most developed GCC market, with five models currently available: the Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck. What's Available in the UAE? The Model 3 remains the brand's most accessible offering. It's sold in three trims: The Rear-Wheel Drive (325 horsepower) delivers a balanced mix of efficiency and performance. The Long Range AWD (441 hp) extends the car's range while maintaining high-speed stability. The Performance AWD (513 hp) prioritizes acceleration, doing 0–100 km/h in just over 3 seconds. Prices range from AED 167,990 to 219,990 (about $45,700 to $59,900 USD). The Model Y, a compact SUV built for families and utility, comes in: A Standard RWD trim with 201 hp, A Long Range AWD version with 346 hp, And a Performance AWD version with 526 hp and a 7-seat layout. Prices run from AED 198,170 to 239,770 (~$54,000 to $65,400 USD). For luxury buyers, the Model S and Model X offer dual- and tri-motor configurations: Model S AWD : 670 hp, aerodynamic profile, top-tier range. Model S Plaid: 1,020 hp with hypercar-level performance. Price: AED 322,990–377,990 (~$87,900–102,800 USD) Model X AWD: Same 670 hp platform with more space and vertical doors. Model X Plaid: 1,020 hp and 0–100 km/h in under 2.6 seconds. Price: AED 342,990–397,990 (~$93,400–108,400 USD) Also available: the Cybertruck, priced at AED 300,800 (~$81,900 USD). Though it launched globally in late 2023, UAE buyers now have full access to the dual-motor AWD variant, known for its armored design and off-road credentials. Saudi Arabia: An Important Market Entry in 2025 Tesla launched in Saudi Arabia on April 10, 2025, opening its first showroom and service center in Riyadh, alongside a regional delivery hub. The launch was more than a retail expansion, it coincided with the Saudi government's clean energy push under Vision 2030. Initial offerings include the Model 3, Model Y, and Cybertruck. Pop-up locations in Jeddah and Dammam are in development, and Superchargers have already gone live in multiple cities. Vehicles Now Available in Saudi Arabia The Model 3 lineup is identical to the UAE's: RWD version priced at SAR 193,790 (~$51,600 USD) Long Range AWD: SAR 203,485–213,290 (~$54,200–56,800 USD) Performance AWD: SAR 237,985–243,290 (~$63,500–64,800 USD) The Model Y is also sold in three trims: RWD: SAR 194,037 (~$51,700 USD) Long Range AWD: SAR 220,591 (~$58,900 USD) Performance AWD: SAR 241,017 (~$64,300 USD) The Cybertruck is available for pre-order, with deliveries expected by the end of 2025. Saudi buyers are expected to receive both the Dual Motor AWD and Cyberbeast (Tri-Motor) configurations. This delayed but impactful entry aligns with the country's broader transition to clean mobility and domestic EV production partnerships (e.g. Lucid, Ceer), showing Tesla's place in a much larger national shift. Tesla's Growing Presence in Qatar After Recent Launch Tesla began taking orders in Qatar in December 2023, and opened its first retail location in June 2024, located in Doha Festival City mall. Though quieter than launches in the UAE and Saudi, Tesla's Qatar operation quickly brought its full vehicle lineup to market. Currently available: the Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X, with pricing across a wide range of trims. Model Overview in Qatar The Model 3 starts at QAR 164,990 (~$45,300 USD) for the standard 60 kWh RWD trim. Long Range AWD (78 kWh): QAR 184,990–194,990 (~$50,800–53,500 USD) Performance AWD: QAR 214,990–224,990 (~$59,000–61,800 USD) The Model Y mirrors this: Standard RWD: QAR 184,990–194,990 (~$50,800–53,500 USD) Long Range AWD: QAR 204,990–214,990 (~$56,400–59,100 USD) Performance AWD: QAR 229,990–239,990 (~$63,200–65,900 USD) The Model S starts at QAR 391,190 ($107,400 USD) and climbs to QAR 431,490 ($118,400 USD) for the Plaid variant. The Model X ranges from QAR 407,290–447,390 (~$111,800–122,800 USD), depending on configuration. While Supercharging coverage is still developing, Tesla service is already active in Doha, with mobile support expanding to nearby areas like Al Khor and Ras Abu Aboud. Tesla in the Gulf: What This Means Going Forward With operations now active in the UAE (since 2017), Qatar (2023), and Saudi Arabia (2025), Tesla has completed its expansion into the Gulf's three key economies. Each launch aligned with local conditions, policy support in the UAE, rising consumer demand in Qatar, and Saudi Arabia's broader shift toward clean energy and industry. Across the region, Tesla now offers a broad lineup, primarily the Model 3 and Model Y in all three markets, with the higher-end Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck available in select countries like the UAE and Qatar. What began as a limited rollout has evolved into a tailored, multi-market presence that reflects the region's growing appetite for premium electric vehicles. Tesla prices in the Gulf vary by country, trim, battery size, and drivetrain (RWD or AWD). Listed prices usually exclude VAT, registration, insurance, delivery, optional accessories, software upgrades (like Enhanced Autopilot ), and home charging equipment.
