There are just four trim levels for the Model X going into 2021 Long Range Plus, Performance, Long Range and Plaid. Other notable changes include a refreshed exterior and interior.

There are just two trim levels for the Model X going forward, Long Range Plus and Performance. While previous versions of the Model X would be hard pressed to reach 300 miles between charges, the newest versions are able to comfortably eclipse that mark. Tesla has also simplified the Model X Performance range with Ludicrous mode being standard on the Performance trim instead of a standalone option.

Tesla discontinued all 75D, 100D, and P100D naming conventions in favor of a more simplified series of stand-alone packages and options for configuring the Model X specifically to your needs.

Tesla does not update their models yearly, instead opting for an approach where they're constantly improving the car through small periodic updates. Recent updates include flat folding rear seats and the discontinuation of the 90D model.

One of the upgrades for 2017 comes in the rear, with seats that fold flat. The Model X crossover, like the Model S luxury car, comes with a choice of batteries: 75, 90, or 100 kilowatt hours. An even more potent model, the P100D that comes with a much bigger rear motor. The 75-kwh model can go up to 237 miles on one charge, while the 100D can go 289 miles.

The Model X is brand new for 2016 and is the third model to be sold by Tesla Motors. Like the Model S that preceded it, the Model X is a practical, everyday vehicle that runs exclusively on electricity. Unlike the Model S, the Model X is an all-wheel drive crossover SUV, which should do well in poor weather or in light off-roading situations. With no option for a hybrid drivetrain, owners will get the pleasure of knowing that their car produces zero air pollution on their way to and from work, or wherever the Model X might take them.
