One of the biggest problems with the all-new Tesla Model X isn’t the fact it’s had some early on reliability issues. It actually seems to be its rather sky-high point of entry. 

 

In other words, it costs a helluva lot of jingle. 

 

Have no fear, however. That’s because Tesla just announced that an all-new variant is hitting the market. Called the 60D, it will actually be equipped with a 75 kWh battery but will be software limited. In standard form that means it will achieve 200 miles on a charge hit 60 mph in six seconds dead. Pricing starts at $74,000. 

 

If buyers pony up an additional $9,500, they will get the full 75 kWh banana, which will add 37 more miles to the charge. Though this option gives you more miles on a charge, it does not change the 130 mph top speed or zero to 60 time from the standard 60D. This upgrade happens “over the air” like all of Tesla’s software-related updates and fixes. 

 

So, will this strategic move give the Model X the boost in the arm it needs OR is $74,000 still too much to pony up for Elon Musk’s latest auto? 


Tesla's release follows:

Model X is the safest, quickest and most capable sport utility vehicle in history, and existing Model X owners are loving their cars. Following on the success of Model S 60 and 60D and in order to bring the benefits of Tesla ownership to even more people, today we're introducing Model X 60D at a starting price of $74,000 – giving customers the flexibility to choose the Tesla model, price point and range that best fits their lifestyle. Our versatile product platform and efficient manufacturing processes make it possible to seamlessly extend these types of compelling offerings to customers.

The new Model X 60D delivers up to 200 miles of range (EPA est.), a top speed of 130 mph, zero-to-60 acceleration in 6.0 seconds, and all-wheel drive performance, starting at $74,000. Customers can check out Model X at select tour stops across the US this summer.
