Categrory: Consumption

The battery with 100 kWh capacity allows ranges between 400 and 500 km in everyday life, but a high-current connection or a supercharger should be available for charging. After all, who wants to store such an impressive car for days.

Reach and charging

With 120 to 130 km/h on the motorway, model X and driver feel comfortable, the lane-keeping assistant keeps the car well on track, and the car can play its biggest asset: exemplary efficiency. Our 180-kilometer test lap, which we complete with cruise control at 130 km/h (GPS-calibrated), is completed by the Tesla with an average consumption of 29.3 kilowatt hours per 100 kilometers. Because the Model X combines the largest serial battery (100 kWh) with the largest charging window (a full charging process draws almost 106 kilowatt hours), this consumption means a range of 360 kilometers.

Even the very flat and windswept Porsche Taycan cannot undercut the fuel consumption value of the Tesla, the range is then only 300 kilometers – and thus exactly at the level of Audi e-tron, Jaguar I-Pace and Mercedes EQC. And while the German manufacturers still have a long way to go with the expansion of the charging infrastructure through their joint venture Ionity, the Tesla Supercharger network is strongly represented throughout Europe, which Model X buyers can use again free of charge.
