Tesla Model X Specs: Range, Battery & Performance (2021+)
The refreshed Tesla Model X splits into AWD for range-first SUV duty and Plaid for three-motor acceleration. We cross-checked EV Database MY26 EU-market data with Wikipedia generation context, then converted the specs into range, charging, cargo, towing, and fitment notes.

Range, Battery, and Charging
EV Database lists both refreshed Model X trims with a 100 kWh nominal lithium-ion battery family, but range differs. AWD shows 490 km / 304 mi and 194 Wh/km; Plaid shows 475 km / 295 mi and 200 Wh/km. Both list 11 kW AC charging, 250 kW DC max charging, and a 30-minute 10-80% fast-charge reference.
| Charging / battery spec | AWD | Plaid |
|---|---|---|
| Battery family noted by Wikipedia | 100 kWh lithium-ion | 100 kWh lithium-ion |
| AC charging, EV Database MY26 EU | 11 kW AC; 0-490 km in 10h 15m | 11 kW AC; 0-475 km in 10h 15m |
| DC fast charging, EV Database MY26 EU | 250 kW max; 140 kW average 10-80% | 250 kW max; 140 kW average 10-80% |
| Road-trip planning note | More range margin | More acceleration, slightly lower listed range |
Performance and Daily-Use Tradeoffs
Plaid is the acceleration car: EV Database lists 760 kW / 1033 PS and 2.9 seconds to 100 km/h, noting that Tesla's 2.6-second claim subtracts rollout. AWD is still quick at 3.9 seconds, but its value is range. Both use Falcon Wing doors, steering-wheel turn-signal buttons, and touchscreen or auto-shift behavior in our vehicle-facts file.
Size, Cargo, and Towing Context
Model X is BASENOR's largest Tesla cabin fitment case. EV Database lists it at 5,057 mm / 199.1 in long, 1,999 mm / 78.7 in wide without mirrors, and 1,680 mm / 66.1 in high. It also lists 2,410 liters / 85.1 cu ft maximum cargo volume. Braked towing is 2,300 kg / 5,071 lb for AWD and 2,250 kg / 4,960 lb for Plaid.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the real range of the 2026 Tesla Model X?
EV Database lists the MY26 Model X AWD at 490 km / 304 mi real range and the MY26 Model X Plaid at 475 km / 295 mi. Those are EU-market reference estimates, not US EPA labels. Weather, speed, tires, payload, towing, and battery temperature can move your actual trip range.
How fast is the Model X Plaid compared with AWD?
EV Database lists the MY26 Model X Plaid at 2.9 seconds from 0-100 km/h and 262 km/h / 163 mph top speed. AWD is listed at 3.9 seconds and 240 km/h / 149 mph. Plaid is quicker, while AWD keeps a small listed range and efficiency advantage.
Does the refreshed Model X use stalks?
Our verified vehicle-facts file marks 2021-2026 Model X as a refreshed S/X cabin: steering-wheel buttons for turn signals and auto-shift or touchscreen shifting. That is different from legacy Tesla cabins with column stalks and matters for interior organizer and driver-control expectations.
How much cargo space does Model X have?
EV Database lists maximum cargo volume at 2,410 liters / 85.1 cu ft for both MY26 AWD and Plaid. The useful shape still depends on seating layout, Falcon Wing door clearance, third-row use, and whether you are carrying floor mats, coolers, charging gear, or pet cargo.
Which Model X trim is easier to accessorize?
Most interior and exterior BASENOR fitment is by Model X generation and seating layout, not by AWD versus Plaid. The exceptions are use-case driven: Plaid owners should care more about tire and splash protection, while AWD road-trip owners usually prioritize cargo liners, sunshade coverage, and storage.
