We also have an overview of the full specifications, an image gallery, detailed information about charging performance, and some online reviews. Our sections:

Performance

The Tesla Model X Plaid has a maximum power of 760KW (1033hp). The total torque is 1020nm. The 0-100km/h sprint (0-62mph) takes 2,6 seconds. The top speed is 262 km/h.

Battery, range, and charging

The battery has a gross capacity of 100kWh and a net capacity of 96kWh, meaning you have a 4kWh buffer for protection. (4,0%). The WLTP range varies from 543 to 528 km (337-328 mi), depending on car options. Bigger wheels are an example of an equipment option that increases consumption and reduces the electric range. The consumption is between 17,7kWh/100km for the basic version and 18,2kWh/100km for the top trim version for the WLTP standard test. For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listing on this model’s range and consumption page.

The maximum DC charging speed is 250kW. A full charge from 0 - 100% would take 80 minutes, while a more common scenario of 10-80% would take 31 minutes. If you assume you lose 5 minutes driving per charge stop in addition to the charge time, the optimum charge area is from 7% to 47% resulting in an actual charge speed including time loss on 143kW. Each charge session would take 16 minutes and 9 seconds.

For the theoretical 1000km challenge, starting with a full battery and driving at 120km/h (75 mph), assuming optimal driving conditions and consumption of 24,0kWh/100km, 1000km will take 9 hours and 21 minutes to drive. This trip will require four charge session(s) charging from 8% to 46%. The total time lost for charging will be 61 minutes.

Onboard charger

For level 1 and level 2 AC charging, the onboard charger supports up to 11KW charging. As a result, you can charge the battery 0-100% from home in about 8 hours and 43 minutes.
