In a letter to shareholders published yesterday evening, Tesla confirmed that the hotly anticipated Model X will, in fact, launch in September. While there were already rumors pointing to a September launch floating around the web, it’s reassuring to hear the news directly from Tesla given the company’s history of perpetually pushing back launch dates.

The pertinent portion of the shareholder letter reads as follows:

As we prepare to launch Model X in September, we are building more validation vehicles, executing final engineering and testing work, enabling our new manufacturing equipment and finalizing arrangements with our suppliers. We have been producing release candidate Model X bodies in our new body shop equipped with more than 500 robots as we fine-tune and validate our production processes.

Second, Tesla’s supercharger network is much more extensive than it was even 12 months ago. Third, an SUV, for many consumers, is much more appealing and practical than a sedan.

Looking ahead, Tesla will be operating at full throttle over the next few months. In addition to the impending Model X release, Tesla will continue building out its Gigafactory in Nevada. What’s more, Tesla also indicated yesterday that it finally plans to unveil the more pocketbook-friendly Model 3 in early 2016 ahead of a release window in late 2017.
