Tesla Model X Electric SUV: 257 Miles Of Range, 92 MPGeTesla Model X Electric SUV: 257 Miles Of Range, 92 MPGe

The Tesla Model X electric crossover will achieve a maximum 257 miles of range in production-ready form.
Official U.S. Environmental Protection Agency range and efficiency ratings for the Model X were posted today, ahead of the first deliveries.
The first handful of Model X crossovers are expected to be handed over to customers tonight at Tesla’s factory in Fremont, California.

So far, ratings for only two Model X variants are listed, although more models may be added at a later date.
The 257-mile range rating applies to the Model X 90D, which features all-wheel drive and the 90-kilowatt-hour battery pack unveiled for the Model S back in July.
This model is also rated at 92 MPGe combined (90 MPGe city, 94 MPGe highway).

The P90D is rated at 250 miles of range–confirming Tesla’s previous estimate–and 89 MPGe combined (89 MPGe city, 90 MPGe highway).
Perhaps not surprisingly, the larger and heavier Model X has lower range and efficiency ratings than a comparable Model S.

The Model S 90D is rated at 270 miles of range and 100 MPGe combined (95 MPGe city, 106 MPGe highway), while the Model S P90D is rated at 253 miles and 93 MPGe combined (89 MPGe city, 98 MPGe highway).
That difference will likely be maintained in terms of performance as well.
A leaked online configurator for the Model X P90D shows a claimed 0 to 60 mph time of 3.2 seconds with the optional “Ludicrous” mode.

The first production Model X crossovers made available to customers will all be fully-loaded P90D Signature Series models.
Base price was previously listed as $132,000, before any Federal, state, or local incentives.

Beyond that, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said that a Model X will generally cost $5,000 more than a comparably-equipped Model S.
Tesla plans to unveil the Model X in production-ready form tonight, and deliver the first examples to their owners.
However, it may still take some time for Tesla to fully ramp-up production, and for the Model X to become more widely available.
