Tesla Model X Base, Extended Range & Performance

Last updated August 4, 2026

Tesla Model X

The Tesla Model X lineup has three main paths. Base Model covers the 60D, 75D, Standard Range, Standard, and later base badges; it is the everyday, family-focused version. Extended Range covers the 90D, 100D, Long Range, and Long Range Plus; it puts more emphasis on distance between charges. Performance covers P90D, P90D Signature, P100D, Performance, and Plaid. These versions keep the Model X’s Falcon Wing doors and family-SUV layout but make stronger acceleration their defining trait, with Plaid marking the move to three motors.

Tesla Model X Extended Range

Extended Range

100D90DLong RangeLong Range Plus

The Extended Range trim level—90D, 100D, Long Range, and Long Range Plus—is the road-trip-oriented Model X, built around going farther between charges rather than chasing the quickest launch.

Best for: Families and frequent highway travelers who place driving range ahead of maximum performance.

Highlights

  • Range-focused dual-motor all-wheel drive
  • Adaptive air suspension
  • Power Falcon Wing rear doors
  • Active safety and touchscreen features appropriate to each model year

Compared with the lower-capacity Base Model badges sold alongside it, Extended Range adds a stronger long-distance focus while retaining the same core Model X layout and all-wheel-drive character.

Tesla Model X Performance

Performance

P100DP90DP90D SignaturePerformancePlaid

The Performance trim level—P90D, P90D Signature, P100D, Performance, and Plaid—is the acceleration-focused Model X, combining family-SUV usefulness with the lineup’s stronger powertrains.

Best for: Drivers who want dramatic straight-line speed without giving up the Model X’s passenger space and signature doors.

Highlights

  • Performance-tuned all-wheel drive; dual motors on earlier versions and three motors on Plaid
  • Falcon Wing rear doors
  • Air suspension
  • Launch-focused performance, including Ludicrous and Launch Mode on certain earlier versions

Compared with Extended Range, Performance shifts the priority from maximum travel distance to stronger acceleration. Earlier P-badged versions use higher-output dual-motor systems, while Plaid uses three motors and a six-passenger layout.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between the regular Model X and the Model X Plaid?

On newer models, the regular Model X uses two motors and emphasizes range, comfort and flexible family use. Plaid uses three motors, makes 1,020 horsepower, reaches 60 mph in 2.5 seconds and has a six-seat layout. Both retain all-wheel drive and Falcon Wing doors.

Which newer Model X trim makes more sense for everyday driving?

The regular dual-motor Model X is the more everyday-focused choice. It keeps the Falcon Wing doors, all-wheel drive, air suspension, screens and family utility while putting greater emphasis on driving range than the Plaid’s extreme acceleration.

Is the Model X Plaid only about acceleration?

No. On newer models, Plaid combines its three-motor performance with a standard six-passenger cabin, Falcon Wing doors, front and rear touchscreens, heated seating throughout and ventilated front seats. Its fixed six-seat layout is an important difference from the regular model.

What’s the difference between Long Range and Plaid?

In the redesigned-era lineup, Long Range is the dual-motor, distance-focused version, while Plaid is the three-motor performance version. Both share the screen-heavy cabin, Falcon Wing doors and air suspension, but Plaid trades some range emphasis for much quicker acceleration.

What’s the difference between Long Range Plus and Performance?

In the original-shape 2020–2021 lineup, Long Range Plus emphasized maximum driving distance and carried an EPA rating as high as 371 miles. Performance emphasized harder launches through Ludicrous acceleration and Launch Mode, with an EPA rating up to 341 miles.

What’s the difference between the 75D and 100D?

In the earlier battery-based lineup, 75D was the shorter-range entry version with a 75-kWh battery. The 100D used a 100-kWh battery for more distance between charges. Both used dual-motor all-wheel drive and retained the same basic body, doors and cabin design.

How does the 90D compare with the 100D?

In the early lineup, the 90D was the middle long-distance version, with a 90-kWh battery and a 257-mile EPA rating. The later 100D stepped up to a 100-kWh battery and focused on maximum range without moving into the high-performance P models.

What does the P mean in P90D and P100D?

The P marks an early high-performance Model X. P90D and P100D use stronger acceleration-focused powertrains than the corresponding 90D and 100D. The D reflects the dual-motor all-wheel-drive layout used by these older versions.

What’s the difference between the P90D and 90D?

The P90D is the performance-focused version of the older 90-kWh Model X. Its stronger rear motor cuts 0–60 mph time to about 3.8 seconds in standard form, while the 90D emphasizes range and balance. Ludicrous acceleration was separate equipment on regular P90D examples.

What’s the difference between the P100D and 100D?

In the older naming system, 100D was the range-focused 100-kWh version. P100D used a performance-tuned dual-motor powertrain and served as the acceleration flagship. Both kept all-wheel drive, air suspension, Falcon Wing doors and the same basic SUV layout.

What is the Model X Standard Range trim?

Standard Range was a short-lived entry version after the mid-2019 Raven update. It included the newer dual-motor drivetrain, faster charging and fully adaptive air suspension, but prioritized access to that updated hardware rather than the longer driving distance of Long Range.

What is the Model X 60D?

The 60D was an early short-range Model X. It used a 75-kWh battery electronically limited to 60 kWh of usable capacity, with a 200-mile original EPA rating. It still had dual-motor all-wheel drive, Falcon Wing doors and the large central touchscreen.

What is the P90D Signature?

P90D Signature was a limited early-production version with the P90D powertrain and a broader equipment package. Highlights included leather seating, ventilated front seats, stronger cabin-air filtration, a motorized driver door and a higher-capacity onboard charger. Ludicrous acceleration was still separate.

Which older Model X trim is the better road-trip choice?

The range-focused trim is generally the better road-trip fit: 100D in the battery-number era, Long Range after the 2019 naming reset, and Long Range Plus in 2020–2021. These versions prioritize distance between charges over the harder acceleration of P100D or Performance.
