Performance

The Tesla Model X Plaid delivers a jaw-dropping maximum power of 760 KW (1033 hp/1019 bhp) and a massive total torque of 1020 Nm (753 lb-ft). This powerhouse can rocket from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 2.6 seconds, showcasing its astonishing acceleration. Additionally, it achieves a top speed of 262 km/h (163 mph), making it a true marvel of engineering and performance.

Battery, range, and charging

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 100 kWh and a net usable capacity of 96 kWh, providing an 4 kWh buffer (4.0%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 407 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards.

Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle’s range varies between 543 to 528 km (338-328 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels, for instance, can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range. The vehicle’s energy consumption is rated at 17.7 kWh/100 km for the base model and 18.2 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle. For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listing on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 250 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 80 minutes, while a more typical charging scenario from 10% to 80% takes 31 minutes with an average charging speed at 132 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 7% to 47%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 143 kW, with each charging session taking about 16 minutes and 9 seconds..

In a theoretical 1000 km challenge, starting with a full battery and maintaining a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) under ideal conditions with an assumed consumption rate of 24.0 kWh/100 km, the trip would take approximately 9 hours and 21 minutes. This journey would require four charging stops from 8% to 46%, with a total charging time of 61 minutes.

Onboard charger

The onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging. This allows you to fully charge the battery from 0 to 100% in approximately 8 hours and 43 minutes using a home charging setup.

Charge port

The charge port is conveniently located at the left rear corner of the vehicle, facilitating easy access when backing into charging stations. The connector types vary between the different markets. This model uses NACS for North America and CCS Combo 2 for Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.

Drivetrain

Tesla Model X Plaid has an all-wheel drive system supported by three motors. One on front axle, and two on rear axle. The motors used are Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors.

Suspension

The suspension is fully adaptive on the front and rear axle, so height and damping can be adjusted manually and automatically. The minimum ground clearance is 117 mm, and the maximum is 158 mm.

Steering

Dynamic steering is a standard feature on the Tesla Model X Plaid. Dynamic steering varies the steering ratio as a function of driving speed.

Brakes

The rear and front brakes are cast-iron discs. The front discs are 355mm, and the rear discs are 355mm.

Regenerative braking

Regenerative braking in this model is primarily facilitated through one-pedal driving. Unlike some models, Automatic regen or coasting is not available here. This model offers three stopping modes for one-pedal driving:

• Hold mode brings the vehicle to a complete stop using friction brakes
• Roll mode allows the vehicle to roll until it stops naturally
• Creep mode moves the car forward at low speed

Additionally, you can adjust the strength of the regenerative braking when you lift your foot off the accelerator. There are two levels of regenerative braking to choose from, allowing you to customize the driving experience to your preference.

Exterior

The Tesla Model X Plaid, with dimensions of 5057 mm in length, 1999 mm in width, and 1680 mm in height, falls into the Full-size SUVs offer the most space, power, and capability among SUV categories, making them suitable for a specific set of drivers with unique needs The Tesla Model X Plaid is available in a total of 5 paint colors, including both solid and metallic options.

You can select from multiple wheel options in different sizes on the Tesla Model X Plaid, allowing you to customize your vehicle to suit your style and driving preferences. The available tire and wheel combinations include:

• 255/45 tires on 19" rims front and 285/40 tires on 19" rims rear
• 265/35 tires on 21" rims front and 295/30 tires on 21" rims rear

More narrow wheels will improve consumption and give a longer range, while wider wheels will provide better traction and handling.

The car has four regular doors and a liftgate.

There is only one roof for this model. The windshield is panoramic going back over the first row. In addition there is skylights over the second row.

The windows from B-pillar and back are tinted, which enhances privacy and reduces glare and heat from the sun, making the interior more comfortable for passengers.
