It seems like Tesla’s Model X has been little more than vaporware for the past few years, but the up-start California automaker says it will unveil its all-electric luxury crossover by year’s end.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently revealed to Autocar that the company would fully unveil its long-awaited Model X by year’s end, with the crossover set to make its first public appearance at January’s Detroit Auto Show.

“The time is right to unveil the car,” said Musk. “I’ve seen the latest design for it and I’m very happy with it.”

The Model X will share its underpinnings with the company’s Model S sedan, which just broke cover in Beta form. Musk promises that the Model X will feature class-leading interior space.

The Model X is expected to be built at Toyota’s former NUMMI plant in Fremont, California.
