Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Long
Range Model Xs come standard with two electric motors—one at the front
axle and one at the rear—which enables all-wheel-drive capability. This
setup is plenty swift
and Tesla claims a zero-to-60-mph time of 3.8 seconds. The 1020-hp
three-motor Plaid high-performance variant is boasts a claimed
zero-to-60-mph time of 2.5 seconds, but we haven’t verified its
acceleration times at our test track yet. Handling is respectable, but
the Model X’s party trick is really the strong acceleration generated by
its electric motors.
Range, Charging, and Battery Life
The
Model X comes standard with a battery large enough to cover a claimed
360-mile driving range; upgrading to the faster Plaid model drops the
estimated driving range to 340 miles. Recharging is quick via one of
Tesla’s Superchargers, which are located across the country. Charging at
home via a 240V or 120V connection will be slower, but probably more
convenient for owners, so Tesla offers in-home charging equipment for
purchase.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
Among
other similarly-sized all-electric SUVs, the Model X boasts the highest
MPGe ratings from the EPA. Long Range models earned ratings of 109
city, 101 highway, and 105 MPGe combined. Even the Plaid model, which
sacrifices some efficiency for faster acceleration, outperforms key
rivals such as the Jaguar I-Pace and Audi e-Tron SUVs in this metric.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
A
stark and nearly buttonless interior design is classic Tesla. The Model
X’s unique windshield/glass roof runs seamlessly from the base of the
hood up over the front-seat passengers for a nearly uninterrupted view
of what’s ahead and what’s above. Despite these whiz-bang features, the
Model X’s cabin leaves us wanting, especially considering its price can
easily break the six-figure barrier, with non-descript air vents,
misaligned panels, and flat-backed seats that don’t offer enough
adjustments.
