What else do I need to know?Īdding in the six- or seven-seat options costs extra but is definitely worthwhile, otherwise you might as well stick with the more conventional Model S.Īnd the Tesla Model X UK price? It starts at £87,980 for the long-range model or £102,980 for the Performance – with ‘ludicrous mode’ and a slightly reduced WLTP range. That way, when you arrive at your destination, there’s still juice to make it to another charger on the return leg.

If you’re able, it’s best to charge to full capacity even if you don’t need to. After plugging in, you can either hang around and follow the charging progress on a smartphone app, or just wait in the car – though fan noise during charging can get quite loud. When you do have to charge, though, the experience is painless. Throw in the ability to charge at home and at work, and unless you’re venturing very far, and into an area of lower charging coverage, range is hardly worth thinking about. While you can get chargers installed in your home, we were able to complete trips between Peterborough and London – along with local errands – by just using the Superchargers at Bishops Stortford on the way up or down. Just twist the stalk to pick the distance between you and the car ahead and sink into the Model X’s luxury interior. Once the system decides the road is suitable, Autopilot is engaged with two pulls of the dedicated stalk, and that’s pretty much it. Our Model X was fitted with Tesla Autopilot, and it remains one of the best driving assistance packages on the market today. Of course, Tesla’s ultimate ambition is that you won’t be driving in the traditional sense all the time anyway.

It may be a family car, but it’s an area where Tesla will need to improve on to compete with the work of more experienced chassis engineers if it wants to appeal to drivers who actually enjoy driving. Changing it to a sportier mode certainly helps, but not much.
Like its siblings, the Model X’s steering is more of a switch than a precise instrument. If its acceleration is too fast for you, putting the car in Chill mode will make the performance a little more laidback – and handily extend the battery range too. It just happens to be whisper-quiet and quick. The performance is fun on slip roads and genuinely useful on the motorway, but don’t think this is an Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio rival. Just like the saloon, the Model X offers a relatively firm ride and swift linear acceleration, but only really reminds you of its 2.3 tonnes when you brake or turn. Imagine a Model S with more height and weight, and you’re pretty much there.
