Tesla Model X 60D Version
Tesla Motors has widened the Model X
range with the introduction of a new entry-level 60D model. Joining the 75D,
90D and P90D family, the most affordable version of the zero-emissions SUV
carries a starting price of US$ 74,000, which means that it's US$ 9,000 cheaper than
the previous basic Model X, the 75D.
For the money, consumers will get 259 HP
and 441 Nm of torque that propel the gullwing-door vehicle
from 0 to 96 km/h in 6.0 seconds and up to a top speed of 225 km/h.
This means that the base variant has the
exact performance specs as the 75D, but the range has dropped from the EPA
estimated 381 km to 322 km.
Given that Tesla dropped the 70D from
the Model X range and replaced it with the 75D this spring, and the brand's
practice to offer disguised lesser versions whose capacity is limited by
software, it remains to be seen whether the new 60D is actually a disguised
75D.
