Which Model X is the Best?
We think most people will be quite happy with the base Long Range model that comes with just about everything you'll need in an electric daily driver. The 328-mile range should be more than sufficient for most, but those who seek the ultimate in speed may want to sacrifice a bit of range to get the Performance model's Ludicrous mode.

How Much Does a 2021 Tesla Model X Cost?
The 2020 Tesla Model X comes in two trims: Long Range and Performance. The price on the window is firm, but some states are offering tax credits for electric vehicles, so depending on where you live, you may be able to shave a few thousand off the overall cost. As Tesla has now exceeded the government's sales quota of 200,000 cars sold, the $7,500 federal tax credit for the Model X no longer applies. The tax credit for vehicles sold before January 2020 is $1,875. If you purchase your Model X after January 2020, there is no federal tax credit, but there may still be a credit offered by your state, so check with the dealer or call your local DMV.
The Model X Long Range ($84,990) includes full-time all-wheel drive, an adaptive air suspension, Autopilot (which enables the car to steer, accelerate and brake for vehicles in its lane), a panoramic glass windshield, a 17-in touchscreen panel with voice control, mobile app control, 12-way power front seats, heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, heated side mirrors, heated washer nozzles, a wiper blade defroster, self-presenting and closing front and rear doors, a rear backup camera, dual-zone climate control, LED headlights, LED fog lights, navigation, faux leather seating, a HEPA air-filtration system, a 17-speaker sound system, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and power-operated rear Falcon Wing doors.
Notable standard driver assists include automatic emergency braking, forward-collision warning and side-collision avoidance. Seating is for five passengers with the option to upgrade to 6- or 7-passenger seating. There's also a $7,000 enhanced Autopilot upgrade that allows the car to navigate itself, auto lane change, auto park and summon itself. Later in the year, the system will recognize and respond to stop signs and traffic lights and be able to drive itself in city traffic. This system also includes a full self-driving computer that can be upgraded as laws and regulations change to allow for fully autonomous driving. Other options include various wheel designs, paint colors and interior colors.
The Model X Performance ($104,990) brings a slightly lower range (305 miles) and a 0-to-60 mph time of 2.7 seconds, thanks to the now standard Ludicrous mode.
The Model X warranty covers eight years or unlimited miles on the battery and drive unit, while the rest of the car comes with a 4-year/50,000-mile limited warranty.
