Actually, that's 6 vehicles delivered to 6 customers.

250 all electric miles (400 km)
SUV
seven seats
cavernous interior space
5,000 pounds towing capacity (2,268 kg)
0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds
0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds — P90D in ludicrous mode — $US10,000 option
$US130,000

Presumably, those 0-60 times are not achieved while taking advantage of the claimed towing capacity.
