Palo Alto-based Tesla Motors will unveil the newest model of its "electric supercar," the Model X, in a live webcast tonight, Feb. 9, at 8 p.m. PST.

Tesla is positioning itself as the electric car manufacturer for those who want a "green" car without sacrificing style - one look at a Tesla Roadster or the Model X's predecessor, the Model S, and one might think they were looking at a snazzy new Porsche, Camaro, Ferrari or the like.

The pricing of the Model S ranges from $49,900 for the base model, all the way up to just under $100,000, if one opts for a longer-lasting battery, other amenities, a signature color and more.
