Model X buyers will be able to choose between two battery capacities—a 60-kWh pack is standard, and an 85-kWh unit is available. Tesla hasn’t released other technical specifics yet, but it’s safe to assume the X heavier and less aerodynamic than the S. This, plus the additional electric motor on all-wheel-drive models, likely will conspire to give the X a shorter driving range than the S. Tesla says the Model S with the 60-kWh battery can travel up to 230 miles on a single charge, or up to 300 with the beefier 85-kWh unit.
The X’s affiliation to Tesla’s sedan is quite skin deep. the 2 cars basically share a platform, however whereas the Model S is rear-drive-only, the X will be outfitted with crossover-necessary all-wheel drive. Its customary drive configuration mirrors that of the S, with one, rear-mounted motor driving the rear wheels. a further, front-mounted motor powers the front shaft on all-wheel-drive models.
