Tesla Model X

<h2 id="history">History</h2>
Initially, Tesla planned for deliveries to commence in early 2014.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7">7</a> However, in February 2013, the company announced that deliveries had been rescheduled to begin by late 2014 in order to achieve its production target of 20,000 <a href="/facts/Tesla_Model_S/2gSqw8RU">Model S</a> cars in 2013.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8">8</a> In November 2013, Tesla said it expected to begin Model X high volume production the second quarter of 2015.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9">9</a> In November 2014, Tesla again delayed and announced that Model X deliveries would begin in the third quarter of 2015.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10">10</a> Deliveries began on September 29, 2015. Among the reasons for delay were problems with the falcon-wing doors and cooling the motors when hauling trailers.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11">11</a>
In 2016, the company filed a <a href="/facts/Lawsuit/gFeKr9ra">lawsuit</a> against Swiss hydraulics firm <a href="/facts/Hoerbiger_Holding/ECPtVydx">Hoerbiger Holding</a> for not producing satisfactory falcon-wing doors for the Model X. Tesla claimed the doors suffered from oil leakage and overheating. Many believe this is one of the reasons for the delay of the Model X.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12">12</a> The lawsuit was settled in September 2016.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13">13</a>
On July 13, 2016, Tesla introduced its Model X 60D, which is slightly lower priced than the Model X's starting price. The Model X 60D has a 200 mi (320 km) range and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in 6 seconds, with a top speed of 130 mph (210 km/h).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14">14</a> The battery capacity in the Model X 60D is 75 kWh but has been software restricted to 60 kWh. Post purchase, owners have the option to unlock the additional 15 kWh, bringing the 60D to 75D range specifications.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15">15</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16">16</a>
Global sales passed the 10,000 unit mark in August 2016, with most cars delivered in the United States.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17">17</a> In August 2016, Tesla introduced the P100D with Ludicrous Mode to be the new top Model X. The P100D has a 100 kWh battery, accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in 2.9 seconds (0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 3.1 seconds) and 289 mi (465 km) of range.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18">18</a> In October 2016 Tesla discontinued the 60D version and made the "Smart Air Suspension" standard instead of coil springs, increasing the base price to $85,000.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19">19</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20">20</a> In June 2017, the 90D version was discontinued.
In August 2017, Tesla announced that HW2.5 included a secondary processor node to provide more computing power and additional wiring redundancy to slightly improve reliability; it also enabled dashcam and sentry mode capabilities.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:21" href="#fn:21">21</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:22" href="#fn:22">22</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:23" href="#fn:23">23</a>
In March 2018 it was announced that Tesla upgraded the MCU to version 2.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:24" href="#fn:24">24</a> MCU 2 improved the performance of the 17 inch center console screen.
Global cumulative sales since inception totaled 106,689 units through September 2018.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:25" href="#fn:25">25</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:26" href="#fn:26">26</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:27" href="#fn:27">27</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:28" href="#fn:28">28</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:29" href="#fn:29">29</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:30" href="#fn:30">30</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31">31</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:32" href="#fn:32">32</a>

In January 2019, Tesla discontinued the 75D version, making the 100D the base version of the Model X. The base price of the Model X 100D is $97,000 (~$114,029 in 2023) as of Jan 2019.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:33" href="#fn:33">33</a> In July 2019, Tesla added a Long Range model of the Model X with a 325-mile EPA range priced at $84,500 (~$99,335 in 2023).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:34" href="#fn:34">34</a>

In an engineering refresh in May 2019, range was increased to 325 mi (523 km) and smart air suspension was added.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:35" href="#fn:35">35</a>
In February 2020 Tesla increased the range of the Model X to 351 mi (565 km) of range.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:36" href="#fn:36">36</a>
In October 2020 Tesla increased the range of the Long Range Plus to 371 mi (597 km), and the Performance increased to 341 mi (549 km).
In September 2023, Tesla heavily discounted the price of a base Long Range Model X In the United States to US$79,990, allowing it to fall under the US$80,000 MSRP cap for a federal tax rebate under <a href="/facts/Inflation_Reduction_Act/8Cdfo0tk">Inflation Reduction Act</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:37" href="#fn:37">37</a>

<h2 id="design">Design</h2>

A series production vehicle was unveiled on September 29, 2015. It has a panoramic <a href="/facts/Windshield/BffeD1Q7">windshield</a>. According to Tesla CEO <a href="/facts/Elon_Musk/GFgcp9Im">Elon Musk</a>, it is the safest SUV in terms of frontal and side impact crash, being more than twice as safe as the next closest SUV in <a href="/facts/Vehicle_rollover/7jWlWGEP">rollover</a> tests as well. The Model X does come with Autopilot as standard, and has an optional <a href="/facts/Tesla_Autopilot/1lS4a4Bf">full self-driving</a> system. The Model X has standard a <a href="/facts/Collision_avoidance_system/1xLggR3S">collision avoidance system</a> that uses radar-based autonomous emergency braking (AEB) and side-directed ultrasound detection that steers the car away from threats. Tesla uses a wide-band radar system to help prevent the falcon wing doors from hitting nearby objects when opening or closing.
The Model X has double-hinged falcon wing doors which open upwards, allowing the leading edge of the door to remain tucked close to the body, unlike traditional gull-wing doors. Tesla claims the falcon-wing (modified gull-wing) doors ease access to the vehicle by having the door raise up vertically, rather than swinging out hinged at the front, which tremendously reduces accessibility. The Model X offers room for seven adults and their luggage in three rows of seating and front and rear trunks.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:38" href="#fn:38">38</a>

<h2 id="specifications">Specifications</h2>

The Model X weighs about 8% more than the Model S and shares about 30% of its parts content – down from around 60% expected when development began. The cargo space is 87.8 ft³.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:39" href="#fn:39">39</a>
Over the years, the Model X has been available with four <a href="/facts/Lithium-ion_battery/3L22xFhB">lithium-ion battery</a> packs, rated at either 60, 75, 90, or 100 <a href="/facts/Kilowatt_hour/qvVkEmPH">kW·h</a>. The highest performance version, the Model X Plaid, goes from <a href="/facts/0_to_60_mph/bWTYppoV">0 to 60 mph</a> (0 to 97 km/h) in 2.5 seconds and the 1⁄4 mile (400 meters) in 9.9 seconds,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:40" href="#fn:40">40</a> outperforming the fastest SUVs and most sports cars.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:41" href="#fn:41">41</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:42" href="#fn:42">42</a> The Model X's <a href="/facts/Four-wheel_drive/5sFHvumf">all-wheel-drive</a> system uses two motors (one for the front and the other for the rear wheels), unlike conventional AWD systems that have a single source of power.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:43" href="#fn:43">43</a> The 2020 Tesla Model X Long Range Plus has an official EPA rated range of up to 371 mi (597 km).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:44" href="#fn:44">44</a>
The company planned to offer <a href="/facts/Rear-wheel_drive/aGGjKv3F">rear-wheel-drive</a> models, but instead all models use <a href="/facts/All_wheel_drive/UucNzj3m">all-wheel drive</a>. The standard AWD has 259 horsepower (193 kilowatts) on both the front and rear motors, while the performance edition has 259 hp (193 kW) front and 503 hp (375 kW) rear.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:45" href="#fn:45">45</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:46" href="#fn:46">46</a> With an optional <a href="/facts/Towbar/CnU2ey5H">towbar</a>, the Model X has a towing capacity of up to 5000 lb<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:47" href="#fn:47">47</a> or 2250 kg.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:48" href="#fn:48">48</a> At the <a href="/facts/Speed_limits_in_the_United_States_by_jurisdiction/EPJxJr27">55 mph (89 km/h) towing speed limit in California</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:49" href="#fn:49">49</a> a Model X may have 70% of the 257 mi (414 km) EPA-registered range when pulling a 2,300 lb (1,000 kg) <a href="/facts/Travel_trailer/nT9zyh11">travel trailer</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:50" href="#fn:50">50</a>

Tesla started taking reservations for the Model X in February 2012 without announcing prices.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:53" href="#fn:53">53</a> The standard Model X required a US$5,000 deposit, while the limited time production Signature model required a US$40,000 deposit in 2013.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:54" href="#fn:54">54</a> More than 20,000 Model Xs had been reserved by September 2014.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:55" href="#fn:55">55</a> In August 2015, user groups estimated around 30,000 Model X <a href="/facts/Pre-order/Geu6TtWU">pre-orders</a> had been received, compared to 12,000 for the Model S.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:56" href="#fn:56">56</a>
The first six Founders Series models were delivered at a market launch event in the Fremont factory on September 29, 2015.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:57" href="#fn:57">57</a> The first Signature edition was delivered on December 18, 2015.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:58" href="#fn:58">58</a> Pricing for the limited edition Signature version of the Model X varies between US$132,000 and US$144,000,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:59" href="#fn:59">59</a> while the standard production version of the Model X will be priced at US$5,000 more than a comparably equipped AWD Model S that is priced at US$75,000 for the base Model 70D.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:60" href="#fn:60">60</a>
After the first quarter of 2016 all Tesla Model X deliveries had gone to US customers. Nevertheless, in January 2016 a Tesla car other than the Model S was registered in Germany and a Tesla Model X was sighted driving there with a license plate from <a href="/facts/Ingolstadt/u8dG3RHc">Ingolstadt</a>. Since the <a href="/facts/Audi/AEyDIbTo">Audi</a> headquarters are located in Ingolstadt, this led to speculation that Audi has acquired a Tesla Model X as part of its effort to develop its own battery-electric SUV.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:61" href="#fn:61">61</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:62" href="#fn:62">62</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:63" href="#fn:63">63</a>
Tesla produced 507 Model X in the fourth quarter of 2015, of which 206 were delivered to customers.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:64" href="#fn:64">64</a> Model X sales totaled 2,400 units during the first quarter of 2016.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:65" href="#fn:65">65</a> According to Tesla Motors, deliveries were lower than expected because production was impacted by severe Model X supplier parts shortages in the first two months of 2016, and because Tesla had been too ambitious in wanting advanced features (committed "<a href="/facts/Hubris/f5Uge6wz">hubris</a>").<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:66" href="#fn:66">66</a> The first Model X that didn't need corrections was made in April 2016.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:67" href="#fn:67">67</a>

Sales during the second quarter of 2016 totaled 4,638 units. Although production was up 20% from the previous quarter, the number of vehicles in transit at the end of June 2016 was much higher than expected (5,150 including Model S cars), representing 35.8% of the number of cars delivered in the quarter (14,402 vehicles including the Model S).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:82" href="#fn:82">82</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:83" href="#fn:83">83</a> Global sales passed the 10,000 unit mark in August 2016.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:84" href="#fn:84">84</a> A total of 8,774 units were delivered in the third quarter of 2016, totaling 15,812 Model X cars sold during the first nine months of 2016.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:85" href="#fn:85">85</a>
The Model X ranked as the top-selling <a href="/facts/Plug-in_electric_car/7e0gKmgX">plug-in electric car</a> in Norway in September 2016.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:86" href="#fn:86">86</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:87" href="#fn:87">87</a> However, when <a href="/facts/Volkswagen_Golf_Mk7/0PzGTv9L">Volkswagen Golf</a> nameplate registrations are broken down by each variant's <a href="/facts/Powertrain/LhPy4KGC">powertrain</a>, the all-electric <a href="/facts/Volkswagen_e-Golf/qL0kUyXr">e-Golf</a> registered 392 units, the <a href="/facts/Volkswagen_Golf_GTE/0PzGTv9L">Golf GTE</a> plug-in hybrid 358, and the internal combustion-powered Golf only 242 units.

<h2 id="reception">Reception</h2>
<a href="/facts/Consumer_Reports/W7LTvc1F">Consumer Reports</a> wrote that the all-wheel-drive Model X 90D largely disappoints, as rear doors are prone to pausing and stopping, the second-row seats that cannot be folded, and the cargo capacity is too limited. Even its panoramic, helicopter-like windshield was disapproved of as it is not tinted enough to offset the brightness of a sunny day. Also, Consumer Reports added that overall "the ride is too firm and choppy for a $110,000 car".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:119" href="#fn:119">119</a>
<a href="/facts/Car_and_Driver/Y8NtjB7T">Car and Driver</a>, despite some criticism of the Model X's falcon wing doors, approved of the panoramic windshield, stating "We were left dumbfounded, like slack-jawed tourists endlessly looking upward.

<h2 id="issues-with-production-units">Issues with production units</h2>
The Tesla Model X faced criticism in 2016 for issues with the falcon-wing doors, which sometimes did not open or latch properly in some early production units, and the windows, which sometimes did not open or close all the way.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:135" href="#fn:135">135</a> Tesla addressed these issues with several software updates, and no known issues remained after the 8.0 firmware was released.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:136" href="#fn:136">136</a> On June 27, 2016, Tesla settled on a lawsuit over usability concerns, accepting that the Model X was rushed to production before it was ready,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:137" href="#fn:137">137</a> and by October 2016, Tesla claimed the problems had been reduced by 92%.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:138" href="#fn:138">138</a>
In 2017 Chinese newspaper Xinhua reported that security researchers from Keen Security Lab at <a href="/facts/Tencent/88gpEqLy">Tencent</a> were able to remotely gain control of the Tesla Model X, allowing them to remotely open the car's doors, blink the lights and control their brakes. They found <a href="/facts/Zero-day_(computing)/B1jJkD0C">zero day</a> vulnerabilities that allowed them to install new <a href="/facts/Firmware/62UVKIUK">firmware</a>. The lead researcher for the team said they informed Tesla of the findings and most of the cars were patched by an update one month after Tesla was made aware of issues.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:139" href="#fn:139">139</a>
