About the Tesla Model X

The Model X entered production in 2015 as Tesla’s first SUV. It shares some of its battery, motor, electronics, and cabin technology with the Model S but adds a taller body, an optional third row, more cargo capacity, and upward-opening Falcon Wing rear doors.

The final lineup had two main powertrains. The regular Model X used one motor at each axle, while Plaid added a second rear motor for much stronger acceleration. Both versions included all-wheel drive, adaptive air suspension, a front trunk, a large rear liftgate, multiple displays, and Tesla’s route-planning and charging systems.

Tesla now states on its that the vehicle is no longer in production. Remaining inventory and used examples may still be available, but specifications, software, seating, charging hardware, and driver-assistance equipment can differ substantially between model years.

Price and Versions

The Model X no longer has a current factory-order price. Remaining inventory and used prices depend on the model year, mileage, seating layout, wheels, battery and motor configuration, included software, condition, and location.

For reference, the last regular US lineup had the following approximate starting prices before later inventory adjustments:

Version	Reference Starting MSRP	Power	EPA-Estimated Range	Main Reason to Choose
Model X AWD	Approximately $99,990	670 hp	352 miles	Best range and everyday value
Model X Plaid	Approximately $114,990	1,020 hp	335 miles	Maximum acceleration
Signature Edition	Approximately $159,420	Plaid-based	Configuration-dependent	Limited final-production model

These figures should be treated as historical references. Tesla adjusted prices and remaining inventory after announcing the end of production. Taxes, registration, delivery charges, wheels, seating options, paint, and paid software also affected the final cost.

Some final 2026 vehicles included a Luxe Package with bundled services and connected features. Buyers should confirm exactly which benefits remain active and whether any subscription, charging, or software entitlement transfers to the next owner.

The regular AWD model is already faster than most luxury SUVs. Its additional range, broader seating choice, lower tire costs, and better purchase value make it the sensible version for most drivers.

Electric Motors, Battery, and Performance

The regular Model X uses two electric motors, with one powering each axle. Combined output is 670 horsepower, and power reaches all four wheels without a conventional transmission.

Plaid uses three motors: one at the front and two at the rear. It produces 1,020 horsepower and can vary power between the rear wheels for better traction and stability.

Tesla does not publish an official usable battery-capacity figure for the final Model X. Battery estimates from outside sources should not be treated as confirmed specifications. Used buyers should focus on EPA range, battery condition, remaining warranty, displayed range at a known charge level, and charging performance.

Performance Specification	Model X AWD	Model X Plaid
Motors	Dual motor	Tri motor
Drivetrain	AWD	AWD
Peak power	670 hp	1,020 hp
Tesla-estimated 0–60 mph	3.8 seconds	2.5 seconds
Top speed	155 mph	163 mph
Quarter-mile time	Not officially highlighted	9.9 seconds
EPA-estimated range	352 miles	335 miles
Maximum DC charging rate	250 kW	250 kW

0–60 MPH Performance

Tesla estimates that the regular Model X can accelerate from 0–60 mph in 3.8 seconds. That is unusually quick for a large SUV carrying up to seven occupants.

Model X Plaid reduces the claimed time to 2.5 seconds. Its immediate power delivery can feel much more forceful than the numbers suggest because there are no gear changes or engine-speed delays.

Actual acceleration depends on:

Battery temperature and charge level
Tire type and condition
Road surface
Wheel selection
Passenger and cargo weight
Weather and elevation
Battery and motor preparation settings

Plaid is the obvious choice for maximum speed. The regular AWD version is easier to recommend because it remains extremely quick while providing more range and a wider choice of seating layouts.

Driving Experience

The Model X feels stable and powerful, but its size and weight are always present. The low-mounted battery helps limit body roll, while the all-wheel-drive system delivers quick traction without waiting for an engine or transmission to respond.

Adaptive air suspension can change ride height and damping. The higher settings provide extra clearance for steep driveways or uneven surfaces, while the car can lower itself at speed to reduce aerodynamic resistance.

The 20-inch wheels are better suited to daily driving. They provide a more forgiving ride, greater range, a higher towing rating, and generally lower replacement costs than the 22-inch wheels.

The 22-inch setup gives the SUV a more aggressive appearance and sharper initial steering response. However, potholes become more noticeable, range drops, and the thinner tires are more vulnerable to damage.

Regenerative braking allows one-pedal driving in many situations. It works particularly well in traffic, although drivers moving from a gasoline SUV may need time to become comfortable with the stronger deceleration when lifting off the accelerator.

The Model X is wide, and visibility around its front corners can be difficult in tight parking areas. Later vehicles added a front bumper camera, but drivers should still account for the 89.4-inch width with mirrors.

EV Range and Charging

Charging and Range Specification	Model X AWD	Model X Plaid
EPA-estimated range	352 miles	335 miles
Maximum DC charging rate	250 kW	250 kW
Tesla-estimated range added in 15 minutes	Up to 175 miles	Up to 175 miles
Maximum home charging power	Up to 11.5 kW	Up to 11.5 kW
Approximate range added per hour at maximum home rate	Up to 35 miles	Configuration-dependent
Charging connector	North American Charging Standard	North American Charging Standard

The regular AWD version is the better long-distance Model X because it combines the highest range with more practical wheel and seating choices.

Tesla states that the Model X can add up to 175 miles in 15 minutes under specified conditions. Charging speed changes during the session and depends on charger output, battery temperature, state of charge, weather, and vehicle configuration. The full 250-kW rate is not maintained from empty to full. See Tesla’s Supercharging guidance for its current charging estimates.

A correctly installed Tesla Wall Connector can supply up to 11.5 kW and add approximately 35 miles of Model X range per hour. Lower-capacity home electrical systems will charge more slowly. Tesla provides the different outputs in its.

Range falls when driving quickly, using cabin heat in cold weather, carrying heavy loads, fitting 22-inch wheels, or towing a trailer. Preconditioning the battery before a fast-charging stop can reduce charging time.

Interior, Comfort, and Technology

The final Model X cabin uses a wide dashboard, panoramic windshield, digital instrument display, and large central touchscreen. The design feels open and modern, but most climate, entertainment, and vehicle controls are placed within the screen.

Main cabin features include:

17.4-inch front touchscreen
9.4-inch rear touchscreen
Separate digital driver display
Heated seats throughout the cabin
Ventilated front seats
Tri-zone climate control
HEPA air filtration
Wireless phone charging
Multiple USB-C charging ports
22-speaker, 960-watt audio system
Active road-noise reduction on later vehicles
Customizable ambient lighting
Panoramic windshield
Over-the-air software updates
Streaming and gaming functions
Tesla mobile-app controls
Available Premium Connectivity

The rear display lets passengers control entertainment and selected cabin functions. Compatible wireless controllers and Bluetooth headphones can be used for some media features.

The Model X does not support native Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Tesla’s own navigation, media, phone, voice-control, and charging systems are used instead.

Five-, Six-, and Seven-Seat Interiors

The seating layout has a major effect on comfort and cargo use:

Five seats: Provides the most useful cargo floor and the lowest purchase cost.
Six seats: Uses two individual second-row seats, creating easier third-row access and a more spacious passenger layout.
Seven seats: Uses a three-person second-row bench and provides the greatest passenger capacity.

The six-seat arrangement is the most comfortable for passengers, but its individual second-row seats do not create the same flat, uninterrupted cargo floor as the folding bench.

The third row is suitable for children and smaller adults. Six-seat vehicles provide slightly more third-row legroom, while the seven-seat version becomes tight for adults on longer journeys.

Dimensions, Cargo, and Practicality

Dimension	Measurement
Length	199.1 in.
Width without mirrors	78.7 in.
Width with mirrors	89.4 in.
Height at medium suspension setting	66.1 in.
Maximum height setting	67.7 in.
Wheelbase	116.7 in.
Ground clearance	5.8–8.1 in.
Front legroom	41.2 in.
Second-row legroom, five/seven seats	38.7 in.
Second-row legroom, six seats	39.8 in.
Third-row legroom, seven seats	29.8 in.
Third-row legroom, six seats	32.3 in.
Front trunk	6.5 cu. ft.

Cargo measurements vary significantly by seating layout:

Seating Layout	Cargo with Every Seat Occupied, Including Frunk	Maximum Total Cargo Volume
Five seats	45.7 cu. ft.	93.7 cu. ft.
Six seats	21.3 cu. ft.	94.5 cu. ft.
Seven seats	21.3 cu. ft.	90.3 cu. ft.

These figures come from the current Tesla Model X dimensions and cargo guide.

The five-seat version provides the best cargo flexibility. Six- and seven-seat vehicles still have 14.8 cubic feet behind the third row, plus the 6.5-cubic-foot front trunk.

The front trunk is useful for charging cables, small bags, wet equipment, or items that should remain separate from the main cargo area.

Towing Capacity

Wheel Size	Maximum Trailer Weight	Maximum Tongue Weight
20-inch wheels	5,000 lbs.	500 lbs.
22-inch wheels	3,500 lbs.	350 lbs.

The 20-inch wheels are clearly preferable for towing. Moving to 22-inch wheels reduces the maximum trailer rating by 1,500 pounds.

Towing can cause a substantial drop in electric range, particularly at highway speeds or in cold weather. Trailer Mode should be active whenever a trailer is connected. Tesla provides the full limits and operating instructions in its Model X towing guide.

The hitch receiver can also support an accessory carrier, but the maximum cantilevered vertical load is 120 pounds, including the weight of the carrier.

Exterior Design

The Model X has a rounded, aerodynamic shape with a short front section, steeply sloped windshield, flush exterior handles, and a large rear liftgate. Its listed drag coefficient of 0.24 Cd contributes to its highway efficiency.

The most recognizable feature is the Falcon Wing rear-door system. Each door uses powered hinges, sensors, and separate roof sections to open upward while limiting the amount of space required beside the SUV.

These doors can make it easier to secure children in their seats because adults can stand closer to the opening. They also provide wide access to the second and third rows.

However, the doors are slower than conventional doors and may behave cautiously around low ceilings, nearby vehicles, roof racks, snow, or obstacles detected by their sensors. Their motors, sensors, seals, hinges, and alignment also add potential repair costs.

Other exterior features include:

20- or 22-inch wheels
Adaptive headlights on later vehicles
Front bumper camera
Panoramic windshield
Glass roof sections
Powered front doors
Powered rear liftgate
Flush front-door handles
Adaptive air suspension
Plaid exterior badging

Safety Features and Ratings

Standard and available safety equipment includes:

Forward Collision Warning
Automatic Emergency Braking
Lane Departure Avoidance
Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance
Blind-spot camera and collision warnings
Side Collision Warning
Multiple exterior cameras
Front and rear parking assistance
Automatic high beams
Electronic stability control
Traction control
Tire-pressure monitoring
Rearview camera
Multiple airbags

Full Self-Driving (Supervised) can add more driving-assistance functions, depending on the vehicle’s hardware, software, and paid package or subscription. It requires continuous driver attention and does not make the Model X autonomous.

Older Model X vehicles received strong crash-test results, including a five-star Euro NCAP rating in 2019. Those results should not automatically be applied to the final 2026 configuration because vehicle structure, restraints, cameras, software, and testing requirements changed over time.

The final Model X lacks a complete current IIHS evaluation, and buyers should not assume that earlier NHTSA ratings apply to every later model year. Check the NHTSA safety-ratings database and IIHS vehicle ratings for the exact year being considered.

Used buyers should also search the vehicle’s VIN for open recalls and confirm that all recall work has been completed.

Reliability, Warranty, and Ownership

The Model X does not require engine oil changes, spark plugs, fuel filters, exhaust work, or emissions inspections. Regenerative braking can also reduce normal brake-pad wear.

However, it remains an expensive luxury SUV with complex doors, adaptive air suspension, large wheels, powerful motors, substantial body panels, and extensive electronic equipment. Repair, tire, insurance, and collision costs can be high even when routine maintenance is limited.

Warranty Coverage	Length
Basic vehicle warranty	4 years / 50,000 miles
Supplemental restraint system	5 years / 60,000 miles
Battery and drive unit	8 years / 150,000 miles
Minimum battery retention during warranty	70%
Body rust perforation	12 years / unlimited miles
Tesla-certified pre-owned additional coverage	Usually 1 year / 10,000 miles after remaining basic coverage

Tesla’s current warranty terms state that the original battery and drive-unit coverage remains with qualifying vehicles when ownership changes. Buyers should still check the original sale date and exact warranty document because coverage can vary by purchase date and market.

Recommended maintenance includes:

Tire rotation every 6,250 miles or when tread-depth differences require it
Brake-fluid contamination testing every four years
Cabin air filter replacement every three years on newer vehicles
HEPA and carbon filter replacement every three years when equipped
Annual brake cleaning and lubrication in areas using winter road salt
Regular wheel-alignment, suspension, wiper, tire, and door-seal inspections

The latest intervals are listed in Tesla’s vehicle-maintenance guidance.

Competitors

The Model X competes with electric luxury SUVs that focus on passenger space, driving range, performance, or traditional premium-car comfort.

Rivian R1S: Better suited to buyers wanting off-road ability, conventional rear doors, and a more traditional SUV shape.
Lucid Gravity: A current-production alternative focused on range, cabin space, and road-trip efficiency.
Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV: Places more emphasis on ride comfort, cabin isolation, and conventional luxury.
BMW iX: A five-seat alternative with a polished cabin and comfortable road manners.
Volvo EX90: Targets families who value restrained design, three-row seating, and safety technology.
Cadillac Escalade IQ: Considerably larger and more expensive, but offers greater road presence and passenger space.
Hyundai IONIQ 9: A lower-priced three-row EV with a spacious cabin and fast-charging architecture.
Tesla Model Y: Smaller, cheaper, and more efficient, but lacks the Model X’s performance, space, air suspension, and Falcon Wing doors.

The Model X’s discontinued status is now a major part of the comparison. Current-production rivals offer factory configuration, newer electrical systems, and a clearer future model cycle.

Should You Buy the Tesla Model X?

Buy a Model X if you want extremely quick acceleration, flexible passenger space, useful cargo capacity, Tesla charging access, and distinctive rear doors in one electric SUV.

The dual-motor AWD with 20-inch wheels is the strongest choice for most buyers. It provides the longest range, full 5,000-pound towing rating, better ride comfort, and lower tire costs while remaining very quick.

Choose the five-seat version if cargo space matters more than passenger capacity. The six-seat layout is better for second- and third-row access, while the seven-seat version works for families that occasionally need the extra position.

Choose Plaid only if acceleration is a major reason for buying the vehicle. Its 1,020 horsepower is impressive, but the standard Model X already has more performance than most drivers need.

A used Model X can become attractive after depreciation, but condition matters more than the badge or advertised range. Check the battery warranty, suspension, Falcon Wing doors, tires, wheels, software, charging performance, and repair history before buying.

Skip the Model X if you want conventional doors, physical cabin controls, low repair costs, a roomy adult-sized third row, or a current factory-orderable luxury SUV.

Final Verdict

The Tesla Model X remains one of the quickest and most distinctive electric SUVs produced. It combines up to 352 miles of EPA-estimated range, flexible seating, strong cargo capacity, 5,000-pound towing ability, and Tesla charging access.

Plaid delivers the headline performance, but the regular dual-motor version is the better vehicle for most buyers. It offers more range, a broader choice of seating layouts, better value, and acceleration that is already far beyond normal family-SUV requirements.

The Falcon Wing doors are both its defining feature and one of its biggest ownership concerns. They provide excellent rear access, but their motors, sensors, hinges, and seals make them more complicated than conventional doors.

Production ending in 2026 also changes the purchase decision. Buyers must now compare remaining inventory and used vehicles based on their exact year, condition, warranty, battery health, hardware, software, wheels, seating, and repair history.

For the right buyer, a carefully inspected Model X AWD with 20-inch wheels can still provide a rare combination of range, performance, space, and technology. Buyers who prefer conventional controls, simple doors, or a current factory-orderable model should compare newer electric SUVs first.

Tesla Model X production has ended. Prices, inventory, range, equipment, software, charging performance, seating, and warranty coverage can differ by model year, configuration, and market.
