Model X manufacturer (5)

I believe the answer is:

tesla

(Other definitions for tesla that I've seen before include "Nikola ---, electricity pioneer" , "Californian company specialising in electric cars" , "Inventor" , "SI unit; steal (anag.)" , "American scientist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
