Tesla makes some of the best electric vehicles on the market. The Model 3 electric sedan and Model Y electric SUV are best-selling models in their segments. The American brand clearly knows what it takes to make a great EV. Now, its midsize electric SUV just got a huge price reduction thanks to a new configuration. How much does a Tesla Model X Standard Range cost, and what are its specs?

Tesla Model X Standard Range specs

• Starting MSRP: $88,490
• Estimated Range: 269 miles
• Top Speed: 149 miles per hour
• 0-60 mph time: 4.4 seconds

The Model X Standard Range costs $10,000 less than the former entry-level trim. It’s the most affordable version of the Model X thus far. That being said, the $10K price cut does come with some performance downgrades. Here’s a chart displaying the main differences between the Model X Standard Range and Model X:

Model X Configuration	Tesla Model X Standard Range	Tesla Model X
Starting MSRP	$88,490	$98,490
Estimated Driving Range	269 miles	348
Top Speed	149 miles per hour	149 miles per hour
0-60 MPH Time	4.4 seconds	3.8

The main differences between the two trim levels, aside from price, are acceleration and driving range. The Model X is quicker than the Standard Range. Additionally, it has 79 more miles of driving range. It’s certainly superior to the Standard Range model, but the new base model provides a great entry point to the Model X for consumers. After all, no driver really needs a midsize SUV that can do 0-60 in 3.8 seconds, right?

Is the Tesla Model X a good SUV?

The Tesla Model X midsize SUV isn’t for everyone. It’s a pricey luxury model that’s out of reach for the average consumer. The midsize electric SUV is the pinnacle of Tesla innovation because of its incredible specs. It’s a great SUV for those willing to shell out big bucks for a new electric model. The nameplate has experienced reliability issues, but reliability isn’t any EV’s strong suit due to the novelty of battery-electric powertrain systems.

So, overall, the Model X isn’t for the average driver, but it’s exciting from a performance and design perspective. Its most exciting iteration is the Model X Plaid.

The Model X Plaid is insanely quick

If you’re into performance SUVs, you should be familiar with the Model X Plaid. It’s mighty expensive, but it’s also practically too impressive to knock. With a 0-60 miles per hour time of 2.5 seconds, it’s one of the quickest SUVs ever made. Furthermore, it’s quicker than the Lamborghini Urus Performante (0-60 in 3.0 seconds) and quicker than the Ferrari Purosangue (0-60 in under 3.3 seconds).

The X Plaid is historic. Additionally, it proves that performance is still at the heart of Tesla’s general design language. Starting at $108,490, it’s far too expensive for the average driver. That being said, performance of the X Plaid’s caliber never comes cheap.
