Can Tesla, Inc.'s Model X Sales Keep Marching Higher? Probably.

Citing production challenges with its recently introduced 100 kilowatt-hour battery, electric-car maker Tesla's (NASDAQ: TSLA) second-quarter vehicle deliveries fell sequentially. Even after Tesla's excuse for the pullback, some investors may be concerned about the meaningful drop in sales of Tesla's newer vehicle, the Model X SUV.

Lower deliveries for Model S recently are understandable. After all, the all-electric sedan was launched more than five years ago. But even with a production bottleneck, Tesla's Model X sales were growing fast enough before Q2 that it would seem more natural for Model X sales growth to decelerate, or simply level off. Instead, they declined.

Could demand for Tesla's late 2015-launched Model X be softening?
