2017 Tesla Model X P100D REVIEW – Simply A Standout SUV
THE TESLA MODEL X WAS ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED NEW CAR ARRIVALS IN AUSTRALIA LAST YEAR.
Model X was Tesla’s second big play after the Model S, which quickly captured an audience when it arrived at the end of 2014.
But while the Model S was a large sedan, this time, the electric carmaker had a family SUV at a time when SUVs had escalated in popularity - a trend that continues today.
The Model X has been in Australia for around a year now, so has any of the gloss worn off?
Vehicle Style: Large Electric SUV Wagon
Price: $242,000 (drive-away) - As Tested: $305,000 (drive-away)
Engine/trans: 193kW/330Nm front, 375kW/600Nm rear - dual electric motors | 1sp automatic

OVERVIEW
Tesla continually fettles with its range in the pursuit of improvement, but for now, the P100D is the top of the Model X tree.
Translated, that’s the ‘performance’ version of the Model X with 100kWh battery pack and duel electric motors.
