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-…) falls between 275–336 miles, ranking it №130 out of 693 electric vehicles. 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?

In the USA Tesla Model X Plaid (2021-…) has a Tesla (NACS) charge port.

You can charge it at home using a standard domestic socket or plug into any public AC charging station using the right cable.
