Overview

The Tesla Model X Plaid (2021-…) is an all-electric all-wheel drive SUV. It came out in 2021 replacing the older Tesla Model X Performance (2020-2021). Brand new, the car starts around $94,990.

The Tesla Model X Plaid (2021-…) has a 100 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 300 mi on a single charge — ranked №154 out of 852 electric vehicles.

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Tesla Model X Plaid (2021-…) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 760 kW (1019 hp) of power and 752 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 2.5 seconds (№8 out of 118 ranked positions, among 852 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and a top speed of 163 mph.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

The estimated real-world range for Tesla Model X Plaid (2021-…) is 300 miles, ranking it №69 out of 253 ranked positions. Several conditions can influence this range:

Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The Tesla Model X Plaid (2021-…) in the USA is equipped with a Tesla (NACS) charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 11.5 kW, which translates to roughly 33 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Tesla Model X Plaid (2021-…) supports a maximum DC charging rate of 250 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.

To estimate charging time, rate, and cost, you can use EV Charging Calculator.

How big is it? What are the dimensions (length, width, height)?

Tesla Model X Plaid (2021-…) comes in the following dimensions:

Length: 199.1 in
Width: 89.4 in (including side mirrors) or 78.7 in (excluding side mirrors)
Height: 66.1 in
Wheelbase: 116.7 in (distance between the center of the front and rear wheels)
Curb weight: 5248 lbs (weight of the empty car, no people or cargo)

How much cargo space does it offer? Does it have a front trunk?

Behind the rear seats of the Tesla Model X Plaid (2021-…), you'll find 15 cubic feet of storage space (№101 out of 155 ranked positions, among 852 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions).

Folding down the rear seats expands the total cargo capacity to 85.8 cubic feet (№20 out of 178 ranked positions, among 852 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions).

Frunk capacity: The front trunk is called a "frunk", and it offers an additional 6.5 cubic feet for storing small items.

Is it suitable for towing? What is the maximum towing capacity?

The Tesla Model X Plaid (2021-…) can safely tow up to 5000 lbs, provided that the trailer has its own braking system.
